Changelog

The mod formerly known as NerdSoft Kitchen is now Dice & Delish! New mod ID (dice_and_delish), new item group, new banner and branding. This is a rename, not a fork - see the note at the bottom for what that means for existing worlds.

A major content update centered on food prep and cooking variety, plus a new performance system.

New Blocks

• Cutting Board - place a cuttable ingredient, then cut it with knives
• Skillet - fries eggs solo or turns them into Potato/Purple Onion Tortillas when a cut ingredient is added mid-cook; can be filled with raw egg liquid via the Iron Cup
• Rice crop (+ wild variant)

New Items

• Full knife line: Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian (new tier), Netherite Knife
• Cheese, Cheese Slice, Cheese Sandwich (raw & toasted), Grilled Cheese
• Sandwich Bread (raw & toasted)
• Cut Potato, Cut Purple Onion
• Tortilla, Potato Tortilla, Purple Onion Tortilla
• Rice, Rice Bowl, Cooked Rice
• Egg Liquid Iron Cup content

New Recipes

• Cutting Board: dicing raw chicken, slicing cheese, cutting potato and purple onion
• Grill: toasted sandwich bread, grilled cheese, toasted cheese sandwich, cooked rice bowl
• Skillet: fried egg, potato tortilla, purple onion tortilla
• Iron Cup: draw and pour back raw egg liquid via the Skillet

Grill Table Relighting

• Extinguishing a lit Grill or Soul Grill (water, or a Shovel at 1 durability) now leaves behind a proper Unlit Grill/Unlit Soul Grill block instead of just going dark - relight it in place with Flint and Steel, a Fire Charge, or a flaming arrow, or craft it fresh with Blaze Powder (add Soul Sand/Soil to relight as Soul instead)

Performance

• New internal LOD (level of detail) system - Grill Table and Cutting Board render at reduced detail past configurable chunk-distance tiers, easing load in large builds and farms

Audio/Visual

• Cutting Board and Skillet block entity renderers, with sizzle looping audio for both
• New Hot Skillet danger state - stepping on a hot Skillet burns the offending entity/player

Advancements

• Expanded advancement tree covering cutting, grilled cheese, tortillas, each crop harvest, knives, and a new capstone "Gourmet Chef" advancement for completing every discipline (farming, cutting, grilling, dairy)

JEI

• Added explicit category sort ordering
• Fixed recipes silently failing to register with JEI on some launches - the mod's own recipe categories now reliably show up after loading into a world

Localization

• All new blocks, items, advancements, and JEI descriptions translated in both English and Spanish

Internal / Refactors

• The old Curdle recipe type (CurdleRecipe/CurdleRecipeInput) was removed and yogurt/strawberry-yogurt transformations are now handled through the mixing/cup-crafting recipe types instead
• New ModBlockTags and ModTiers registries (the latter backing the new Obsidian tool tier)
• Mod ID changed from nerdsoftkitchen to dice_and_delish; package changed from com.nerdsoft.mods.nerdsoftkitchen to com.panzer.mods.dice_and_delish

⚠️ Existing worlds: because the mod ID and every registry name changed along with the rename, blocks/items placed under 0.3.0 will not migrate automatically - back up your world before updating, and expect to need a re-registration/rename data fix (or to start fresh) if you're carrying a save forward.
