New Resources: Ores and Mob Drops
VFP introduces a few essential raw materials that serve as the foundation for most advanced recipes.
Salt Ore
Salt is a primary additive used for seasoning and curing. Salt Ore generates in the overworld, typically between Y-levels 40 and 80. When mined, it drops multiple Salt crystals.
Animal Fat
Most passive mobs now have a chance to drop Animal Fat upon death. This item is essential for frying 'Junk Food' and creating tallow-based products.
| Mob | Drop | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Cow | Animal Fat | 50% |
| Pig | Animal Fat | 60% |
| Sheep | Animal Fat | 40% |
| Horse | Animal Fat | 30% |
Bones and Leather
While vanilla items, VFP allows these to be processed into Gelatin, a thickening agent used for desserts and glazes.
Food Mechanics: Portions and Break-Ups
VFP introduces the concept of scaling food to fit your hunger bar perfectly through Portions and Bucket Break-ups.
Portions
Large food items can be broken down into smaller 'Nuggets' or 'Slices'. This is highly efficient for players who only need to restore 1 or 2 hunger points without wasting a full Steak or Apple. * Apple Slices: 1 Apple yields 4 Slices. * Meat Nuggets: 1 Cooked Beef/Pork/Chicken yields 4 Nuggets. * Bread Slices: 1 Loaf of Bread yields 4 Slices (used for Sandwiches).
Bucket Break-Ups
Handling liquids is made easier for cooking. You can 'break up' a bucket into smaller containers: * Milk Bucket: Can be crafted with 3 Glass Bottles to get 3 Milk Bottles. * Water Bucket: Can be broken down into 3 Water Bottles without needing a source block. * Mushroom Stew: Can be divided into smaller 'Portion Bowls'.
