🔥 Kaleidoscope Grilling

More than grilling food over charcoal: give oils distinct flavors, keep meals warm, and bring more ingredients from the field to the table.

中文描述请移步modrinth或MC百科

Kaleidoscope Grilling is a comprehensive cooking expansion for Kaleidoscope Cookery, built around four connected themes: charcoal grilling, hot food, flavored oils, and new ingredients. Grow canola, onions, sweet potatoes, and houttuynia; discover pepper trees in forests; grind ingredients, press canola oil, and blend different chili oils. Grilling is the most visible feature, but the complete experience stretches from gathering and processing ingredients to serving a freshly cooked meal.

🎮 Grilling

Hand-Assembled Skewers

No crafting screen is required:

1. Hold a stick in your off hand and an ingredient in your main hand.
2. Right-click to thread ingredients onto the stick one by one.
3. Insert the correct ingredients in the correct order to complete a fixed-recipe raw skewer.
4. A three-ingredient combination that does not match a fixed recipe becomes a player-signed Secret Mix Skewer.

Sneak-right-click with an unfinished or raw skewer to disassemble it. The stick and all inserted ingredients are returned at once.

Secret Mix Skewers take colors from their ingredients and dynamically generate different appearances.

Fixed-Recipe Skewers

The mod currently includes 20 fixed-recipe skewers:

• Beef, Pork Belly, Chicken Skin, Mid-Wing
• Squid Tentacle, Fish, Sweet Potato Sheet, Potato Slice
• Caterpillar, Mushroom, Bun Slice, Ender Pearl
• Meatball, Slime, Meat and Bone, Fried Egg
• Lamb, Golden, and the deceptively named “Ordinary” Skewer、Gluten Skewers

Each skewer has its own ingredient order, food values, model, eating animation, and effects. Version 1.1 also rebalances the effects and durations of all cooked fixed-recipe skewers.

Secret Mix Skewers

A Secret Mix Skewer records its creator and calculates its food values from the ingredients actually placed on it. When the skewer is cooked, each ingredient is first resolved to its cooked food state whenever possible.

• Cooked nutrition: Add the nutrition values of all edible ingredients, multiply the total by the combination coefficient, round down, and use a minimum of 1.
• Combination coefficient: 0.6 when all ingredients differ; 0.48 when any ingredient is repeated.
• Cooked saturation modifier: The nutrition-weighted average of the edible ingredients' saturation modifiers.
• Raw penalty: Raw Secret Mix Skewers receive 50% of the cooked nutrition and saturation modifier, with nutrition still having a minimum of 1.
• Inherited food behavior: Eating the skewer runs the normal consumption behavior of its edible ingredients. Potion effects, modded food effects, and container remainders are inherited without counting the ingredients' nutrition twice.

Version 1.1 introduces a new 16×16 icon system. Fixed-recipe skewers, Mysterious Skewers, and Dark Grilling use dedicated hand-drawn icons, while Secret Mix Skewers build composite 16×16 icons from their ingredients. Foods with Smoky Warmth also display a status marker in the upper-left corner of their icon.

The Grill

Each grill can hold up to three skewers. Light the charcoal with flint and steel, then complete the full process:

Place skewers → Brush with oil → Flip 4 times → Add Special Seasoning → Take out the finished food

Leaving skewers unattended for too long may produce a Mysterious Skewer or Dark Grilling instead.

🧂 Seasoning Bottles

Seasoning works like a small, visible mixing system. Place an Empty Seasoning Bottle in the world, then add ingredients by right-clicking it. The contents appear inside the bottle in colored layers.

Mixing Process

1. Place an Empty Seasoning Bottle.
2. Add Sichuan Pepper, Onion Powder, and Green Chili Powder as the three required base ingredients.
3. The bottle holds 8 portions in total, leaving up to 5 portions for ingredients that determine additional effects.
4. Retrieve the Seasoning to Be Shaken and hold right-click for 4 seconds.
5. After the sound and particles play, it becomes Special Seasoning with 16 uses.
6. If the mixture is wrong, place either the unfinished or completed seasoning in a crafting grid to clear it and recover an Empty Seasoning Bottle.

Seasoning effects activate only while the food still has 🔥 Smoky Warmth. Their base duration is three minutes.

Ingredient	Effect	Stacking Rule
Redstone Dust	Speed	Level I with 1–3 portions; Level II with 4+
Gunpowder	Strength	Level I with 1–3 portions; Level II with 4+
Houttuynia Powder	Extends other seasoning effects	Doubles their duration with 1–3 portions; quadruples it with 4+
Totem of Undying Powder	Heavy Metal	Level II with 4+; prevents one fatal hit and restores the player to 1 health, followed by a ten-minute Heavy Metal Poisoning cooldown during which it cannot trigger again
Dragon Egg Powder	Dragon Blood	Temporarily adds 6 maximum health (3 hearts) with 1–3 portions, or 10 maximum health (5 hearts) with 4+
Sichuan Pepper	Numb	Requires at least 4 portions of Sichuan Pepper in the bottle; lasts 45 seconds and is also extended by Houttuynia Powder

The three base ingredients are always required. The required Sichuan Pepper also counts toward the four-portion threshold for Numb.

🛢️ Oil Pressing and Oil Pots

Kaleidoscope Grilling adds a complete canola-oil production chain.

Producing Canola Oil

1. Grow and harvest canola seeds.
2. Grind the seeds into canola powder.
3. Craft 8 canola powder and 1 wheat into an oil cake.
4. Fill the Oil Press with 4 oil cakes.
5. Strike it repeatedly with an anvil; stone can be used as an early-game alternative.
6. Place a Big Vat nearby to receive the pressed canola oil.

The Oil Press requires 16 progress. An anvil adds 4 progress per strike, while stone adds 1. Completing a batch also produces 4 Oil Residue byproducts.

Three Flavored Oils

In addition to Kaleidoscope Cookery's original grease, the mod adds three vegetable oils:

• Canola Oil: The basic oil for cooking and grilling.
• Chili Oil: Keeps Smoky Warmth for longer.
• Magma Chili Oil: Keeps Smoky Warmth for a very long time and features a glowing fluid with flame particles.

Kaleidoscope Cookery's Oil Pot can hold up to 64 points of oil instead of 256. One point is enough to brush one skewer or add oil to a stir-fry once. All three oils can also be used in Kaleidoscope Cookery cookware and give finished dishes different durations of Smoky Warmth.

🔥 Smoky Warmth

Freshly prepared food gains 🔥 Smoky Warmth and gradually cools as in-game time passes.

• Smoky Warmth extends the food's own positive effects.
• Chili Oil and Magma Chili Oil preserve Smoky Warmth for longer periods.
• Its saturation multiplier can be configured and defaults to 1.25× without changing base nutrition.
• Furnace and smoker outputs can optionally receive Smoky Warmth; this is disabled by default.
• Smoky Warmth and seasoning can be disabled for dishes made with Kaleidoscope Cookery cookware; this integration is enabled by default.
• Raw, cooked, and warm foods have distinct tooltips and item outlines.
• Hold Caps Lock and left-click matching warm foods to merge stacks with different remaining durations. The resulting duration is weighted by the number of items in each stack. This works in the player inventory, chests, and barrels.

🍢 Skewer Eating Animations

Version 1.1 gives every skewer its own eating animation, progress bar, and chewing sounds.

The progress bar marks a 1.25-second completion checkpoint. Once the checkpoint is reached, releasing the use button immediately consumes the food and settles its nutrition, effects, and eating records. Releasing before the checkpoint cancels the action without consuming the skewer.

skewers.allowSkewersAtFullHunger is enabled by default and allows skewers to be eaten at full hunger.

skewers.enableEatingAnimations is also enabled by default. Disabling it restores vanilla eating behavior while keeping the total eating duration at 1.25 seconds.

📜 Skewer Recipe Books and Plates

Skewer Recipe Books

Combine a blank Kaleidoscope Cookery recipe book with a raw skewer in a crafting grid to record that skewer's recipe.

• Hold a stick in your off hand and use the recipe book, or use a stick directly on a wall-mounted recipe, to consume the required ingredients from your inventory and assemble the skewer automatically.
• Clear the recorded recipe through crafting to return it to a blank recipe book.
• Both fixed-recipe skewers and player-made Secret Mix Skewers can be recorded.

Skewer Plates

Sneak-right-click the top of a block while holding a skewer to place a plate. Each plate can hold up to five skewers.

• Right-click with an empty hand to take back the most recently placed skewer.
• Right-click while holding the plate item to eat the most filling skewer stored inside it.
• Sneak-right-click to place the plate again.

🔪 Advanced Kitchen Rack

The Advanced Kitchen Rack is a quick-access storage system designed for kitchen work, similar to a toolbox.

• Five upper compartments store seasoning containers such as Seasoning Bottles and Oil Pots.
• Four lower compartments store kitchen tools such as knives, spatulas, and flint and steel.
• Hold Caps Lock to open the two-row quick-selection interface, then release it to switch to the selected item.
• Matching items in the player's inventory can be returned to the rack with one action.

Other mods can add their own seasoning containers and kitchen tools through public item tags and APIs.

🌱 Crops, Gathering, and Dishes

These ingredients and dishes work with Kaleidoscope Cookery's stir-fry cookware, stockpots, chopping boards, and grinding systems, including its flexible recipe matching.

Natural Resources

• Pepper Tree: A relatively rare forest tree. Fruiting leaves can be harvested for Sichuan Pepper, and village loot chests may also contain it. Pepper leaves obstruct and damage creatures that move too close. The sapling drop rate is 10% in version 1.1.
• Houttuynia: Found in Nether Fortress loot chests and nether wart growing areas. It can be planted on farmland or soul sand.
• Canola: Mature plants produce canola seeds for oil production. Wearing Kaleidoscope Cookery's Straw Hat while breaking grass also gives a chance to obtain seeds.
• Onion: Planted directly like carrots and required for basic seasoning. It can also be found by breaking grass while wearing the Straw Hat.
• Sweet Potato: Can be planted, baked, ground, and further processed into sweet potato sheets. It can also be found by breaking grass while wearing the Straw Hat.

New Dishes

• Cold dishes: Dressed Houttuynia, Sugared Tomato, Pepper Honey
• Stir-fries: Houttuynia Stir-fried Pork, Green Pepper Squid Tentacles, Braised Chicken Wings
• Stews: Potato Beef Stew (Grilling Edition), Sweet Potato Rice Porridge
• Other foods: Roasted Sweet Potato, Roasted Chicken Wing, and a variety of processed ingredients
