Naturalist x Farmer's Delight Compat

Enhances compatibility between Naturalist, Farmer's Delight, and selected addons by adding new recipes, expanded cooking options, and useful ways to process animal drops — without introducing new items or blocks.

Naturalist x Farmer's Delight Compat

Why I Made This Mod

Honestly, this is my first Minecraft mod and I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing.

I just got annoyed by how many items Naturalist adds that barely have any use.

So I decided to do something about it.

What started as a few simple Cutting Board recipes somehow turned into a whole compatibility mod.

The idea is pretty simple: Make Naturalist's items actually useful, mostly through Farmer's Delight, without adding a bunch of new stuff.

That's pretty much it.

What Does This Mod Do?

Brings Naturalist and Farmer’s Delight together with additional Cutting Board recipes, expanded ingredient compatibility, new animal feeding options, and more uses for animal drops. Includes optional Rustic Delight integration.

Cutting Board Recipes

The following recipes require a Knife:

Input Output Additional Drops
Bass 2 Cod Slices 1 Bone Meal
Anglerfish 2 Cod Slices 1 Bone Meal, 50% chance of 1 Glow Ink Sac, 20% chance of 1 Glowstone Dust
Blobfish 1 Cod Slice 50% chance of 1 Slime Ball
Catfish 3 Salmon Slices 1 Bone Meal
Piranha 1 Salmon Slice 1 Bone Meal and 1 Tooth
Duck 2 Chicken Cuts 1 Bone Meal
Drumstick 4 Chicken Cuts 1 Bone
Venison 2 Mutton Chops —
Bushmeat 2 Minced Beef —
Mammoth Meat 4 Minced Beef —

Matching recipes for cooked ingredients and cooked outputs are included for Bass, Anglerfish, Blobfish, Catfish, Piranha, Duck, Drumstick, and Venison. Additional drops remain the same.

The following Cutting Board recipes require a Pickaxe:

Input Output
Antler 1 Bone + 2 Bone Meal
Snail Shell 1 Bone Meal
Tooth 2 Bone Meal

Expanded Ingredient Compatibility

Naturalist ingredients can be used in recipes that accept the corresponding ingredient tags:

Ingredient Category Added Ingredients
Raw Beef Bushmeat, Venison, Mammoth Meat
Cooked Beef Cooked Bushmeat, Cooked Venison, Cooked Mammoth Meat
Raw Mutton Bushmeat, Venison
Cooked Mutton Cooked Bushmeat, Cooked Venison
Raw Chicken Duck, Drumstick, Lizard Tail
Cooked Chicken Cooked Duck, Cooked Drumstick, Cooked Lizard Tail
Raw Cod Bass
Cooked Salmon Cooked Catfish
Safe Raw Fish Bass, Catfish, Anglerfish, Clam Meat, Crab Meat
Eggs Duck Egg, Ostrich Egg, Alligator Egg, Tortoise Egg
Cooked Egg Naturalist Cooked Egg

This allows ingredients such as Bass in Baked Cod Stew and Cooked Catfish in Grilled Salmon.

Naturalist’s Cooked Egg recipes for the Furnace, Smoker, and Campfire are disabled to avoid competing with Farmer’s Delight’s Fried Egg recipes. Existing Naturalist Cooked Eggs remain usable in recipes accepting the Cooked Egg tag.

Additional Animal Feeding Options

Expands the existing food and temptation tags of Naturalist animals:

Animal Added Items
Alligators Chicken Cuts, Minced Beef, Bacon, Mutton Chops, Duck, Drumstick, Bushmeat, Venison, Mammoth Meat
Bears Salmon Slice, Cooked Salmon Slice
Birds, Ostriches, and Turkeys Tomato Seeds, Cabbage Seeds
Boars and Tortoises Cabbage, Cabbage Leaf
Snakes Chicken Cuts for tempting
Giant Isopods and Great White Sharks Cod Slice, Cooked Cod Slice, Salmon Slice, Cooked Salmon Slice

Snake taming requirements remain unchanged.

1 Candle 1 Fat + 1 String
1 Brown Bed 3 Fur + 3 Planks
1 Brush 1 Fur + 1 Copper Ingot + 1 Stick
1 Brown Carpet 2 Fur
1 Leather Helmet 2 Fur + 3 Leather

1 Leather Leggings 3 Fur + 4 Leather
1 Leather Boots 2 Fur + 2 Leather

Optional Rustic Delight Integration

  • Feed Birds, Ostriches, and Turkeys with Cotton Seeds, Bell Pepper Seeds, Pale Bell Pepper Seeds, and Dark Bell Pepper Seeds.

What's Next?

No idea yet.

I'll probably keep adding stuff whenever I find another Naturalist item that annoys me because it has no real use.

If you find something that doesn't work or have an idea for another recipe, feel free to leave a comment.

Just keep in mind that this is my first mod, so I'm still figuring things out.

Anyway, have fun!
