Alex's Mobs Continued Delight
Minecraft's culinary world just got a whole lot wilder. If you have ever stared at a frozen farseer or a pile of crocodile scales and wondered what they would taste like, this is the addon for you. Alex's Mobs Continued Delight is a masterful crossover that takes the vast menagerie from Alex's Mobs and throws it into the frying pan alongside Farmer's Delight. The result is a comprehensive butchery and cooking system that respects the original mods while adding hundreds of hours of new gameplay. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from the new cuts of meat to the exotic dishes that grant powerful buffs, and how to get it all running on your own server.
What Exactly Is Alex's Mobs Continued Delight?
At its core, this addon is a bridge. Alex's Mobs introduces roughly eighty new creatures to the Overworld, Nether, and End. Farmer's Delight introduces a robust cooking system with a knife, cutting board, and cooking pot. Alex's Mobs Continued Delight for Minecraft puts these two in the same kitchen. It ensures that every animal worth butchering now leaves something behind. Every drop that Alex's Mobs already had can now be sliced, diced, and cooked into something new. Even parts that were never meant to be food—a void worm's eye, a soul heart, or a farseer's arm—are transformed into twelve exotic dishes that are worth eating, though they always cost you something in return.
Butchery: 48 Animals, Nine Cuts
The first major feature is the expansion of the butchering system. Previously, many animals in Alex's Mobs dropped nothing but experience orbs. Now, 48 of those animals drop a cut of meat. The genius here is that they are not 48 different steaks. Instead, they are grouped into nine distinct categories, keeping your inventory and your kitchen organized.
- Game Cut: Drops from elephants, rhinoceroses, gorillas, mungus, and endergrade. Cooks into Cooked Game Cut.
- Predator Cut: Drops from tigers, snow leopards, grizzly bears, sea bears, maned wolves, dropbears, Tasmanian devils, and skunks. Cooks into Cooked Predator Cut.
- Fowl Cut: Drops from emus, roadrunners, shoebills, seagulls, toucans, crows, bald eagles, potoos, blue jays, hummingbirds, and sunbirds. Cooks into Cooked Fowl Cut.
- Blubber: Drops from orcas and cachalot whales. This is rendered, not roasted, into Rendered Blubber.
- Shark Steak: Drops from hammerhead sharks and frilled sharks. Cooks into Cooked Shark Steak.
- Calamari: Drops from giant squids and mimic octopuses. Cooks into Fried Calamari.
- Reptile Cut: Drops from Komodo dragons, anacondas, crocodiles, caimans, rattlesnakes, terrapins, and alligator snapping turtles. Cooks into Cooked Reptile Cut.
- Small Game Cut: Drops from raccoons, anteaters, platypuses, seals, capuchin monkeys, gelada monkeys, sugar gliders, jerboas, and rain frogs. Cooks into Cooked Small Game Cut.
- Fish Fillet: Drops from devil's hole pupfish and triops. Cooks into Cooked Fish Fillet.
Put a large cut back on the cutting board and it splits into smaller pieces and Animal Fat. Insects, the undead, and anything that already drops vanilla food are deliberately left alone, ensuring no conflicts with your existing food sources.
The Drops That Already Existed
Kangaroo meat, moose ribs, catfish, lobster tails, cosmic cod, and bananas were always in Alex's Mobs. Now, they slice on the board and cook in the pot. This opens up a whole new menu of Farmer's Delight recipes, including Kangaroo Stew, Moose Roast, Lobster Bisque, Catfish Gumbo, Cosmic Chowder, Gongylidia Risotto, Emu Omelette, Jungle Fruit Bowl, Rainbow Jelly Parfait, Flying Fish Roll, and Banana Bread. These are hearty meals that provide substantial saturation and hunger restoration, perfect for long expeditions.
The Exotic Twelve: Power at a Price
This is the interesting half. Each of the twelve exotic dishes is made from something that was never food, and each one gives you a real, tangible effect while charging you for it. This creates a risk-reward system that is both strategic and fun.
- Void Worm Terrine: Grants Resistance II for 2:00 and Strength II for 1:30, but gives you Ender Flu for 0:45.
- Farseer Confit: Grants Clinging for 2:00 and Invisibility for 2:00, but gives you Ender Flu for 1:00.
- Straddlite Stew: Grants Lava Vision for 5:00 and Fire Resistance for 3:00, but gives you Hunger for 0:30.
- Hemolymph Jelly: Grants Bug Pheromones for 10:00 (every bug ignores you), but gives you Weakness for 1:00.
- Orca Platter: Grants Orca's Might for 5:00, but gives you Mining Fatigue for 1:00.
- Tiger Curry: Grants Tiger's Blessing for 5:00, but gives you Blindness for 0:08.
- Sunbird Roast: Grants Sunbird Blessing for 5:00, but gives you Slowness for 1:00.
- Soul Broth: Grants Soulsteal for 1:30, but gives you Power Down for 1:00.
- Serpent Soup: Grants Knockback Resistance for 5:00, but gives you Slowness for 1:30.
- Bug Skewer: Grants Poison Resistance for 5:00, but gives you Nausea for 0:30.
- Tendon Jerky: Grants Fleet Footed for 3:00, but gives you Hunger for 0:40.
- Mimicream Trifle: Grants Regeneration II for 0:15, but gives you Nausea for 0:40.
Configuration and Server Control
For server owners, Alex's Mobs Continued Delight offers a robust configuration system. Everything has a switch. You can use the /amcd config command (operators only) or edit the config/amcdelight.json file. The /amcd config menu opens the same settings as a chest GUI, so it works from a vanilla client. The two effect toggles are read when items are built, so they want a restart—the command tells you so when you change one.
- dishEffects (true): Turn the exotic effects off entirely—the dishes stay, as ordinary food.
- dishDrawbacks (true): Keep the upsides, drop the downsides.
- extraMeatDrops (true): Whether the 47 new cuts drop at all.
- extraMeatDropChance (1.0): 0.0 never, 1.0 always.
- extraMeatDropMax (2): Ceiling on how many drop at once.
