Latest release on GitHub

Hands-On Delight is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is Hands-On Delight 1.4.1+1.21.1, published on Nov 13, 2026.

New

  • Modpacks can put any craft together on the cutting board: add its result to the item tag

handson_delight:assembled, and every shaped or shapeless craft of it, from any mod, datapack or

KubeJS script, is made on the board. Before, the tag only

worked for the recipes of Farmer's Delight and its addons. How to do it, and how to add recipes for the other

stations, is in the README, under "Modpacks".

  • Everything Farmer's Delight cuts on its board is worked at the cutting board now, not only food: logs and wood,

flowers, stone and bricks, clay and gravel, doors, boats and carts with a chest, leather armour and saddles. Each tool

has its own stroke: the axe strips a log down its side and splits wood with a swing, the pickaxe cracks stone with a

few blows, the shovel digs a lump of clay smaller with each shovelful, the hoe hooks the chest off a boat and pries it

away, the shears snip along their line. The book lists them after the kitchen's cuts.

Changed

  • Blocks lying on the cutting board (a pumpkin, a melon, a log) are drawn smaller, so the tool over them stays in sight.

Description from the author on Modrinth

Cook in Farmer's Delight with your own hands.

The cooking pot, the cutting board and the skillet open right where they stand, with no menu screen. You stir the soup with the spoon and chop with the knife yourself, and players nearby see what you cook.

No menus, the blocks open in the world  ·  Every recipe of Farmer's Delight and its addons  ·  No new blocks or items

The cutting board

Lay the food on the board and cut along the marks with the knife in hand.
One cut goes through sixteen at once, and the pieces fly into your inventory.

Burgers on the board

Bread first, then whatever goes on it: the last layer turns the stack into the dish.
Sandwiches no longer take the crafting table, and those of addons are built the same way.

The skillet

Food fries on the side that lies in the pan. Toss the pan by its handle and it turns over in the air.

Stars and the recipe book

Stir in wide, steady rounds and stars fill over the dish, each one adding servings.
A recipe book beside every station shows what you can make right now. Put the stations side by side and the camera walks along them.

Getting started

Put the mod and Diegesis into the mods folder of the client and the server, then right-click a station.
On Fabric it needs Farmer's Delight Refabricated and Fabric API. A client without the mod keeps Farmer's Delight's own menus.
Hoppers and autocrafters keep working, and config/handson_delight.properties turns off any station or the stirring the pot waits for.
Modpacks put any craft together on the cutting board with the item tag handson_delight:assembled: see Modpacks in the README.

Made by Pocky. Built on Diegesis; the models and sounds of the stations come from the installed Farmer's Delight. The broth sound is a CC0 recording by Joseph Sardin from BigSoundBank. Source on GitHub (MIT).
