Pam's HarvestCraft - Food Core guide for All the Mods 10 2.20 to 4.0

Pam's HarvestCraft - Food Core is included in this pack. You get version 1.0.1 of the mod, the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1.^[1]

It isn't a new addition either: it has been in the pack since the 2.25 release or earlier.^[1]

Unverified The available information doesn't say what this mod adds, which foods or items it includes, who it's aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression. Your recipe viewer in-game is the best place to check what it adds. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Food Core is the kitchen side of Pam's HarvestCraft: the cooked dishes and the basic ingredients they are built from. Almost every recipe here is a shapeless crafting recipe, and most of them also ask for a kitchen tool from a tool tag, such as a pot, saucepan, mixing bowl, cutting board, skillet, bakeware or juicer. So before you start, look at each recipe to see which tool type it wants.^[2]

First: Butter and cheese

Start with the basics, because other dishes are built on top of them. Butter is one of the simplest recipes in the mod, and it is used by the buttered baked potato later on.^[2]

ButterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool pot
• any milk

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:butteritem

This is a plain mod recipe that uses a pot-type tool.

Next is Cheese. The pack changed this recipe, so go by the one shown here and not by the standalone mod.^[2]

CheeseMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool pot
• any milk
• any salt

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:cheeseitem

The pack changed this recipe from the mod's version.

Next: Batter and cooking oil

Batter is the base for muffins, cakes, cheese cake and donuts, so make it early.^[2]

2× BatterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool mixingbowl
• any flour
• any milk
• any egg

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:batteritem_x2

Batter goes into the apple, caramel, carrot and chocolate muffins, and into several cakes and donuts.

Donuts also need Cooking Oil. This recipe is registered under the crops half of Pam's, and the pack changed it. It is crafted with a roller-type tool.^[2]

4× Cooking OilMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool roller
• Canola
• Canola

Recipe id: pamhc2crops:cookingoil_x4_canola_x2

The pack changed this recipe, and it needs a tool from the roller tag.

Then: Sweet building blocks

Caramel is used in caramel apples, donuts, muffins, pies, yogurt and ice cream. Chocolate Bar is used in chocolate cake, chocolate bacon and chocolate caramel fudge. Both use a saucepan-type tool.^[2]

CaramelMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool saucepan
• any sugar
• any milk

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:caramelitem

Caramel is an ingredient in several of the sweet dishes above.

Chocolate BarMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool saucepan
• any cocoabean crops

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:chocolatebaritem

Chocolate bars are needed for the chocolate cake and the fudge.

Finally: Your first real meals

With those ready, try something simple. Boiled Egg needs only a pot-type tool and an egg-tagged item. Basic Hamburger and the other basic sandwiches, like the chicken or fish versions, all follow the same pattern and use a skillet-type tool.^[2]

Boiled EggMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool pot
• any egg

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:boiledeggitem

A quick first dish that needs a pot-type tool.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.10 guide

Here's the thing to know up front: every Food Core recipe the sources show is a shapeless crafting recipe. You work in the crafting grid, and the sources show no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for this mod. The core mechanic is choosing which ingredients and kitchen tools go into the grid.^[3]

Kitchen tools are part of the recipe

Almost every dish needs a tool-tag slot alongside the food. The sources show tags for a pot, saucepan, cutting board, juicer, bakeware, mixing bowl and skillet. The cooking oil recipe further down uses a roller tool. Any item in the matching tag can fill that slot, so you aren't locked to one specific item.^[3]

The food slots work the same way. Recipes ask for tags like eggs, milk, bread, cheese, condiments or vegetables, and any item in that tag is accepted. That's why one recipe such as Basic Hamburger can take different breads and condiments. The basic burger and sandwich recipes all share the skillet slot.^[3]

Which tool does what

• Pot: used for Butter, Boiled Egg, Beef Noodle Soup and Apple Donut.^[3]
• Skillet: used for the basic burgers and sandwiches, for example Basic Cheeseburger, Basic Chicken Sandwich and Bacon and Eggs.^[3]
• Mixing bowl: used for Batter, Apple Smoothie and Apple Popsicle.^[3]
• Bakeware: used for baked goods like Apple Pie, Apple Muffin, Beef Pot Pie and Baked Vegetable Medly.^[3]
• Cutting board: used for Applesauce, Beef Jerky, Apple Yogurt and Buttered Baked Potato.^[3]
• Saucepan: used for Apple Jelly.^[3]
• Juicer: used for Apple Juice.^[3]

Building up intermediate ingredients

Many dishes use other Food Core items as ingredients, so you craft in stages. The apple line is a clear example: you juice apples, turn the juice into jelly, then turn the jelly into toast. Each step uses its own tool.^[3]

Apple JuiceMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool juicer
• any apple crop
• any apple crop

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:applejuiceitem

First step: juice, made with the juicer tool.

Apple JellyMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool saucepan
• any applejuice juice
• any sugar

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:applejellyitem

Next step: jelly, made with the saucepan tool.

Apple Jelly ToastMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool cuttingboard
• any toast
• any applejelly jelly

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:applejellytoastitem

Last step: toast, made with the cutting board tool.

Batter works the same way. You make it once, then it feeds other recipes like Apple Donut and Apple Muffin.^[3]

2× BatterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool mixingbowl
• any flour
• any milk
• any egg

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:batteritem_x2

Batter is crafted with the mixing bowl tool and then used in the donut and muffin recipes.

A pack change: Cooking Oil

The pack changes how Cooking Oil is made. Its recipe is a shapeless craft that takes Canola and a roller tool. Cooking oil is then used by recipes like the apple donut.^[3]

4× Cooking OilMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool roller
• Canola
• Canola

Recipe id: pamhc2crops:cookingoil_x4_canola_x2

This recipe is marked as changed by the pack.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.10 guide

Unverified The sources here show no quests that involve this mod, and it is not on the ATM Star quest path. So there is no quest-driven progression to follow. The tiers below are just a way of grouping the in-pack recipes by what each one depends on.

Good news: you don't need to unlock anything to start cooking. The recipes shown for this mod are all shapeless crafting recipes, and each one asks for a kitchen tool from a tool tag, such as a pot, saucepan, mixing bowl, cutting board, bakeware, skillet, juicer, grinder or roller. Because the recipes use tags, any item in the matching tag works.^[3]

Tier 1: base ingredients

Start by making the building blocks that other foods are built from. Butter, Cheese and Cream all use milk. Dough and Batter are the two you will reach for constantly.^[3]

2× DoughMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool mixingbowl
• any flour
• any water
• any salt

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:doughitem_x2

2× BatterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool mixingbowl
• any flour
• any milk
• any egg

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:batteritem_x2

ButterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool pot
• any milk

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:butteritem

The sweet side starts with Cocoa Powder, Chocolate Bar and Caramel. Cooking Oil is the one to watch: the mod has its own roller recipes for it, and the pack changed the canola-to-oil recipe that comes from the crops mod.^[3]

4× Cooking OilMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool roller
• Canola
• Canola

Recipe id: pamhc2crops:cookingoil_x4_canola_x2

This canola recipe is changed by the pack, so don't rely on the mod's default.

Tier 2: simple foods

Next come foods that need just one or two ingredients and a tool. Examples are Boiled Egg, Apple Juice, Cracker, Beef Jerky and Chocolate Milk. Juices matter later, because the jellies, smoothies and popsicles are made from them.^[3]

Tier 3: baked goods and treats

Once you have dough, batter, oil, cocoa and caramel on hand, a big family of treats opens up. Muffins use batter and bakeware, pies use dough and bakeware, and donuts use batter and cooking oil in a pot. Each family comes in several flavors, including apple, carrot, chocolate, caramel and chorus.^[3]

Apple PieMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool bakeware
• any sugar
• any apple crop
• any dough

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:applepieitem

Other options here are Carrot Cake, Cheese Cake, Chocolate Roll and Chocolate Caramel Fudge.^[3]

Tier 4: meals built from other dishes

The top tier uses finished foods as ingredients. Chicken Dinner needs two other crafted dishes, Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes. Apple Jelly Toast needs jelly, and Caramel Ice Cream needs caramel. Burgers and sandwiches, such as Bacon Cheeseburger, combine bread, cheese, condiments, meat and a skillet.^[3]

Chicken DinnerMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any tool cuttingboard
• Fried Chicken
• Mashed Potatoes
• any vegetable

Recipe id: pamhc2foodcore:chickendinneritem

Food Core is mostly a pile of classic comfort dishes, but in this pack those dishes don't just sit in your hunger bar. Many of them are building blocks for fancier meals from HarvestCraft's extended food recipes, a couple of HarvestCraft crops feed into Food Core items, and there's even a crossover with bees.^[4]

Cooking Oil and crops

Cooking Oil is made from Canola, so it's worth planting some. Once you have oil, you can combine it with Cattail to craft a vanilla Torch, which is handy if you're short on coal early on.^[4]

TorchMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Cooking Oil
• Cattail

Recipe id: pamhc2crops:torch_cattail

Food Core dishes as ingredients

This is where Food Core really pays off. A lot of its basic dishes are ingredients in bigger extended recipes, so cooking them in bulk sets you up for the fancy stuff later.^[4]

• Fried Chicken goes into Chicken Biscuit, BBQ Chicken Biscuit, Chicken and Waffles, Springfield Cashew Chicken, Fried Feast and Weekend Picnic.^[4]
• Basic Hamburger upgrades into Coleslaw Burger, Jalapeno Burger and Onion Hamburger, and is part of the Cookout Meal.^[4]
• Hot Dog is used for Chili Dog, Slawdog and the Cookout Meal.^[4]
• Fries shows up in Poutine, Steak and Chips, Chicken Tenders Meal and Delighted Meal.^[4]
• Mashed Potatoes is used for Bangers and Mash, Mashed Potatoes Chicken Biscuit and Fried Feast.^[4]
• Grilled Cheese leads to Homestyle Lunch and Grilled Cheese Vegemite Toast.^[4]
• Potato Chips goes into Chips and Dip and Weekend Picnic.^[4]
• Sunflower Seeds is used for Sunflower Broccoli Salad and Sunflower Wheat Rolls.^[4]
• The sandwiches upgrade too: Basic Chicken Sandwich becomes Leafy Chicken Sandwich and Basic Fish Sandwich becomes Leafy Fish Sandwich.^[4]
• A few more one-offs: Epic Bacon makes the Epic BLT, Cracker makes Crackers and Cheese, Meatloaf makes the Meatloaf Sandwich and Pickled Beets goes into the Bento Box.^[4]

Here are a couple of the big combo meals, just so you can see how many Food Core dishes they pull together:^[4]

Milk from bees

The pack also includes a Productive Bees recipe that turns its Milk into Food Core's Fresh Milk. That gives you another way to get milk for HarvestCraft cooking.^[4]

2× Fresh MilkMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Milk

Pam's HarvestCraft - Food Core has been in All the Mods 10 since version 2.2 or earlier, so it's an old member of the pack. The history here is short.^[1]

• All the Mods 10 2.33: the changelog lists a Food Core update from 1.0.0 to 1.0.0. The version number didn't change, so the entry doesn't tell you what was different.^[5]
• All the Mods 10 4.0: Food Core was updated from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1.^[6]

All the Mods 10 4.0 ships Food Core 1.0.1 for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1.^[1]

Unverified The pack changelogs only record the version bump from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1. What actually changed inside the mod in that update (fixes, new content or balance tweaks) isn't confirmed by any source I have, so I'm not going to guess.
