About this project
What does Chef's Workbench add?
Chef's Workbench
Build a functional Minecraft kitchen with stoves, pans, pots, ovens, bamboo steamers, and counters.

Chef's Workbench turns cooking into a small kitchen system instead of a single furnace block. Use fuel, cookware, batch baking, and custom datapack recipes to build a kitchen that feels useful in survival and flexible in modpacks.

Kitchen Blocks

| Block | Crafting recipe | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stove | ![]() |
Burns fuel, cooks food, and can produce a byproduct. Also supplies heat to cookware placed above it. |
| Pan | ![]() |
Place directly on a Stove to fry up to four separate items or one combined recipe. |
| Pot | ![]() |
Place directly on a Stove to boil up to six ingredients into one output. |
| Oven | ![]() |
Uses its own fuel slot and bakes in eight independent slots. Each slot accepts up to one stack of the same item. |
| Bamboo Steamer | ![]() |
Place directly on a Stove to steam food in four independent slots. |
| Counter | ![]() |
A matching kitchen surface for building a cleaner cooking area. |
Cooking Examples
| Recipe type | Preview | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stove Cooking | ![]() |
One input, one fuel slot, one main result, and optional byproduct. |
| Pan Frying | ![]() |
Independent frying can run per slot. Combined recipes consume all required inputs together. |
| Oven Baking | ![]() |
Eight independent baking slots. Larger stacks take longer and scale output and experience. |
| Bamboo Steaming | ![]() |
Four independent steaming slots, powered by the Stove below. |
| Pot Boiling | ![]() |
Six inputs combine into one output, powered by the Stove below. |
Custom Recipes
Chef's Workbench supports datapack recipes for every cooking station. Datapack authors can add new foods, replace built-in recipes, and tune cooking time or experience without editing the mod jar.
