Building & Decorating

Farmer’s Delight

A big cooking and farming expansion. Adds new crops, a cooking pot (place it and right-click to open a cooking interface — just add ingredients like a crafting recipe and it produces a meal), a stove for basic cooking, and various new farm-based tools like a rich soil block for better crop yields near water. Most of its recipes will show up in JEI, so search there if you’re not sure what a new ingredient is used for.

Joy of Painting

NOTE This mod is currently disabled, because it has not yet been updated to Minecraft version 26.3! Lets you actually paint pictures in-world. Craft an easel and canvas, then right-click the canvas to open a painting interface where you pick colors and brush strokes to create custom artwork, which becomes a placeable/hangable painting item when finished. A fun way to make custom decorations instead of relying on vanilla paintings.

Macaw’s Mods

A set of mods that adds a large set of craftable furniture, windows, fences, walls, bridges, doors, roofs, stairs, paths, and trapdoors in every wood type. Check JEI (press U/R on a piece of wood or existing furniture) to find recipes — most items are crafted like a normal 3x3 recipe using vanilla wood and a couple of new base pieces you craft first. Just place them in the world like normal blocks; many of them (like chairs) can be sat in by right-clicking.
