Alex's Caves Continued Delight
Minecraft has always been a game about discovery, but sometimes the most fascinating finds end up as little more than decorative clutter. Alex's Caves Continued Delight changes that completely by turning the mysterious treasures of Alex's Caves into a full culinary experience. This add-on bridges the gap between the cavernous wonders of Alex's Caves and the cooking mechanics of Farmer's Delight, creating a seamless kitchen where every drop has a purpose.
What Does Alex's Caves Continued Delight Add?
This mod is a chef's dream come true. It takes the six massive caves from Alex's Caves, which are filled with items that are obviously ingredients, and pairs them with the knife, cutting board, and cooking pot from Farmer's Delight. The result is a comprehensive food expansion that introduces 36 new items and 57 new recipes, all without overwriting a single loot table.
The beauty of this add-on lies in its respect for existing gameplay. Every cut is added to what Alex's Caves already drops, meaning nothing you rely on will stop dropping. If you were already collecting dinosaur chops or trilocaris tails, those drops remain intact—they simply now have additional culinary potential.
Cutting Board Creations
The core mechanic revolves around the cutting board. Existing drops like dinosaur chops, trilocaris tails, radgills, lanternfish, tripodfish, sea pigs, vesper wings, and caramel apples can all be processed into new portions. Each meat and fish portion then cooks in a furnace, smoker, or campfire, transforming into delicious meals:
- Saurian Cutlet from dinosaur chop, cooking into Cooked Saurian Cutlet
- Trilocaris Meat from trilocaris tail, cooking into Cooked Trilocaris Meat
- Abyssal Fillet from lanternfish, tripodfish, and sea pig, cooking into Cooked Abyssal Fillet
- Radgill Fillet from radgill, cooking into Cooked Radgill Fillet
- Vesper Strips from vesper wing, cooking into Cooked Vesper Strips
- Caramel Apple Slices from caramel apple, which are already sweet enough
Even already-cooked drops can be cut into cooked portions, so nothing goes to waste. Two special items come off the board as well: vesper strips or gloom cuts render into Cave Tallow, and heavy bones split into Bone Marrow. These ingredients become essential components in several advanced dishes.
Butchery: New Drops from Cave Creatures
Ten animals from Alex's Caves previously dropped no food of their own. Alex's Caves Continued Delight for Minecraft rectifies this by adding new cuts to their drop tables:
- Saurian Cutlet from vallumraptor and subterranodon
- Irradiated Cut from luxtructosaurus, tremorzilla, and raycat
- Abyssal Fillet from hullbreaker
- Gloom Cut from corrodent and gloomoth
- Grub Meat from gammaroach and gossamer worm
These are added drops, not loot-table overrides, so any other mod's changes to those mobs remain intact. The system respects the doMobLoot game rule and can be switched off or dialled down to suit your server's needs.
The Exotic Nine Dishes
The most intriguing aspect of this add-on is the exotic nine—dishes made from things that were never meant to be food. Each one provides a real effect but charges you with a drawback:
- Deepsight Broth grants Deepsight and Water Breathing but applies Mining Fatigue
- Hullbreaker Platter gives Conduit Power and Resistance II but makes you Bubbled
- Magnetic Marrow Stew provides Haste II but Magnetizing
- Irradiated Goulash offers Strength II and Regeneration but Irradiated
- Gloom Confit grants Invisibility and Night Vision but Weakness
- Tremor Roast gives Rage and Resistance but Slowness
- Radgill Jerky provides Night Vision and Speed but Irradiated
- Grub Skewer offers Jump Boost II but Nausea
- Peppermint Parfait grants Sugar Rush but Nausea
These dishes turn pearls, uranium shards, and handfuls of pure darkness into meals worth eating—at a cost.
Server Configuration and Commands
Server owners have full control through the /accd config command (operators only) or the config/accdelight.json file. Options include toggling dish effects, removing drawbacks, controlling extra meat drops, and setting drop chances. The /accd menu opens the same settings as a chest GUI, making it accessible from a vanilla client. All changes apply immediately without requiring a restart.
