Tasty Vanilla Food FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get my first crops planted?
Find crop seeds (cabbage, chili, garlic, lettuce, onion, sweet potato, eggplant, or tomato) by breaking tall grass or looting village structures, then place them on farmland like vanilla crops. Water them normally and they'll grow through stages until ready to harvest.
Where do I find wild berries?
Berry bushes spawn naturally across different biomes—explore forests, plains, and cold biomes to locate blackberries, blueberries, elderberries, goji berries, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, and white currants. Right-click ripe bushes to pick berries without breaking the bush.
How do I make flour for baking?
Craft flour at a regular crafting table by grinding wheat, or obtain it from village farmer trades. Once you have flour, you can combine it with yeast, salt, and butter to create raw dough.
What do I need to make yeast?
Combine seeds, mushrooms, and sugar at a crafting table to prepare yeast. This ingredient is essential for all bread and dough recipes.
How do I get salt for cooking?
Use a stonecutter to cut calcite blocks and obtain cooking salt. You'll need salt to make butter and for various recipes.
How do I make butter?
Churn milk buckets together with salt at a crafting table to produce butter. Butter is a key ingredient in many baking recipes.
Can I cook these foods in a regular furnace or do I need special machines?
All cooking works with standard vanilla workstations—furnaces, smokers, campfires, and stonecutters. The mod doesn't add any new cooking machines.
How do I make berry jam?
Combine berries with sugar or honey in a glass jar at a crafting table to make berry mash, then cook the jar in a smoker or furnace to finish the jam. You can make 9 different sweet berry jams.
Which mobs drop meat and what do I do with it?
Over 20 mobs including wolves, camels, frogs, axolotls, bears, dolphins, horses, and squids drop raw meat when killed. Cook the raw meat in a furnace, smoker, or campfire like vanilla meat, or use it to breed and feed farm animals.
Do the new crops work for breeding animals?
Yes—use the newly grown vegetables like carrots and wheat to feed and breed farm animals just like vanilla crops. This lets you expand your farms using the mod's produce.
