    Summary


    This datapack adds vegan alternatives to milk, eggs, honey, and meat; aiming to implement these alternatives in a vanilla-like way, with simple ingredients.

    New Recipes

    • Plant-based milk: crafted with a water bucket, an empty bucket, and 6 wheat seeds, pumpkin seeds, potatoes, or sunflowers. Behaves as a milk bucket.
    • Egg baking alternatives: pumpkin pies and cakes can be crafted by replacing the egg in the vanilla recipe with wheat or a potato.
    • Vegan honey, crafted in two ways: a water bucket, an empty bottle, and 6 flowers, OR an empty bottle and 4 apples. Behaves as a honey bottle.
    • Seitan steak: crafted with 3 wheat and either mushroom stew or beetroot soup. Alternatively, use hay bales instead of wheat to produce seitan more efficiently. Behaves as a steak.
    • Seitan stew: crafted with a (seitan) steak, a bowl, a baked potato, a carrot, and a mushroom. Behaves as rabbit stew.
    • Veggie burger: crafted with bread, a beetroot, and a brown mushroom. Behaves as cooked porkchop.
    • Not-fish fillet: crafted with a (seitan) steak and 3 kelp. Behaves as raw cod (so you can attract cats with it and tame them), but has same nutrition as cooked cod.
    • Not-salmon fillet: crafted with a carrot, kelp, and a (vegan) honey bottle. Behaves as raw salmon, but has same nutrition as cooked salmon.
    You can find screenshots of all the recipes and more details on this page.

    In-game recipe book


    From Minecraft 1.20.5 and later versions, the custom items will appear in the in-game recipe book like any other recipe, and you can filter them using the name of this datapack:

    Custom items in the in-game recipe book

    The Vegancraft Resourcepack (download above) is required to see the textures in-game.

    However, there's a limitation: custom items are not automatically recognized as ingredients, so you will still need to put them manually in the crafting grid. This the case only for the recipes that require a custom item as ingredient, which are: not-fish fillet (requires a seitan steak), not-salmon fillet (requires a vegan honey bottle), and seitan stew (requires a seitan steak). These recipes are shapeless to help with this issue.

    Prior to Minecraft 1.20.5, the datapack worked differently, with the custom recipes outputting a knowledge book. I recommend playing on Minecraft 1.20.5 or superior, which is much better due to this change.


    Other info:


    Reasoning for the recipes
    - All of the plant milk recipes are based on real plant-based milks (the sunflower representing sunflower seeds).

    - The egg replacements —wheat and potato— represent wheat flour and potato starch, respectively, both used in real-life egg-free baking.

    - Flower honey represents a kind of vegan honey that can be made by boiling flowers in water. Apple honey represents apple syrup, as there are also some recipes for vegan honey made from apple syrup or juice.

    - Seitan is made by soaking wheat flour in water and filtering it. The stew/soup represents a marinade to give the seitan steak flavour.

    - Not-fish fillet is based on real recipes for "vegan fish", although in real life it is more common to use tofu for this.

    - Veggie burgers and not-salmon fillets are also based on a real-world recipes.

    Notes for developers
    If you are creating a datapack that adds custom food and you want your custom food to be recognized by this datapack, just do the following:
    - If it is a vegan food retexturing a non-vegan food item, just include the tag "dnv.vegan": true in the "custom_data" component of the item.
    - If it is a non-vegan food retexturing a vegan food item, just include the tag "dnv.vegan": false in the "custom_data" component of the item.

    It's already on this datapack! :D You can make both vegan pumpkin pie and cake by using wheat or potato instead of the egg of the original recipe.
