Master Cooking

Master Cooking

Master Cooking puts every recipe in the game into one beautiful cookbook. Browse by effect, filter by ingredients on hand, and send everything to your pots automatically.

Works on Core Keeper 1.3+, multiplayer and dedicated servers.

FEATURES

Master Cooking organizes every recipe into a clean, searchable cookbook. Browse by Health, Magic, Defense, Offense, or Utility, then drill down into specific effects. Each ingredient shows its exact stats, and every recipe tooltip reveals the combined result, ingredient availability in your inventory and nearby chests, and whether it's craftable right now.

Mark your favorites with the middle mouse button. A simple left click sends one recipe to the pot, while holding Ctrl sends ten and holding Shift sends up to a hundred, as long as there are enough pots nearby. If you enable Instant Food in the settings, an Alt click drops the finished dish straight into the world. Hosts can also toggle Instant Cooking to reduce all timers to zero, or press a single button to unlock every recipe in the game.

v1.0.1 Added new config option: “Max Cooking Quality” - when enabled, cooking will always grant an extra dish of the highest available quality (Epic or Rare) in addition to the regular cooking result. This bonus also applies when using the “Instant Food” feature (Alt+Click on a recipe): the instantly created food will be of maximum quality if both options are active.

v1.0.1 Added new config option: “Double Cooking XP“ - Double XP on everything you cook.

Filters: Enable or disable already discovered recipes, and show or hide recipes you don't have the ingredients for
