Description (for the description/body field)

What is Herbcraft: Cuisine?

An expansion for Herbcraft that adds a water bowl, curated dishes, medicinal meals with effect immunity, the Herbal Hodgepodge, and two hidden recipes that double as alchemy catalysts. If eating herbs is gambling and brewing potions is a contract, cooking is a craft.

Requires Herbcraft Core.

The Water Bowl

Right-click a water source with an empty bowl. The water bowl extinguishes fire, has a 15% chance to clear nausea, and is the starting ingredient for every medicinal dish.

Dishes (32 total)

10 Curated Dishes — fixed recipes using herbs and bowls. Dandelion Salad, Pine Needle Soup, Twin Fungus Hotpot, Bitter Remedy, and more.

22 Medicinal Dishes — advanced preparations that go beyond nutrition:

• Soul-Cleansing Stew: Clears wither + wither immunity for 60 seconds
• Fatigue-Breaking Stew: Clears mining fatigue + haste I + fatigue immunity for 60 seconds
• Omen-Calming Porridge: Clears Bad Omen + resistance II + omen immunity for 120 seconds
• Crimson War Hotpot: Strength + speed + fire resistance for combat

The key innovation: medicinal dishes don't just clear debuffs — they grant temporary immunity afterward. This is what separates them from milk. Milk clears everything indiscriminately, including your buffs. A medicinal dish clears a specific problem, prevents it from returning, and gives you a buff on top.

Raw → Cooked Pipeline

All medicinal dishes follow the same flow:

1. Water bowl + ingredients → raw dish (inedible)
2. Raw dish → furnace / smoker / campfire → finished dish

The Herbal Hodgepodge / 百草盅

Empty bowl + 3-4 herbs at the crafting table. Each herb's effects fire independently with a +15% probability bonus. Mixing conflicting herbs risks a pharmacological clash. The tooltip reveals nothing — you learn which combinations work through experience.

Two Hidden Dishes

Two secret recipes exist, hidden from the recipe book and the Codex until discovered. One is a feast of seven flowers. The other is a brew of four poisons.

When both Cuisine and Alchemy are installed, these hidden dishes gain a second identity as brewing catalysts that force Exceptional quality on potions.

Effect Immunity System

Cuisine introduces a cross-module effect immunity system. When a medicinal dish clears a debuff, it also immunizes you against that debuff for a set duration. Immunities persist through re-login but clear on death.

Village Trades (19 trades)

Butchers sell water bowls and soups. Farmers buy prepared dishes. Librarians sell cuisine tattered pages.
