SyalsDelight-CE

A Paper/Folia server port powered by CraftEngine and FarmersDelight.

About

SyalsDelight ports the main gameplay of syals-delight to a CraftEngine-powered Paper/Folia server plugin. It is an add-on for FarmersDelight and includes custom food, a potato processing chain, flavored chips, oil bottles, animal-fat drops, a peeler, and public cooking-pot and cutting-board recipe pages.

The port baseline is the upstream main branch, mod version 1.20.1-1.0.2.

Implemented

• All 30 items actually registered by the upstream source.
• 22 edible items and the complete process from potatoes to finished chips.
• Three oil bottles that return a glass bottle when consumed by a recipe.
• 9 public cooking-pot recipes, 2 public cutting-board recipes, and 18 CraftEngine workbench recipes.
• Seven animal-fat extra drops implemented with EntityDeathEvent.
• Complete Simplified Chinese and English item and category translations.
• 30 item models, 30 textures, and animated metadata for naquadah_chips.
• A CraftEngine resource installer with a version marker, missing-file repair, and stale-file cleanup.
• bStats analytics through plugin ID 35133.
• Folia-safe event handling without BukkitScheduler or cross-region mutable gameplay state.

Food Values

The 1.20.1 Forge FoodProperties API uses a saturation modifier, while CraftEngine uses an absolute saturation value. This project uses the following conversion:

CraftEngine absolute saturation = hunger value × source saturationModifier × 2

The source registers no potion effects for any food, so this project does not add effects that did not exist upstream.

Peeler

The upstream peeler is a stone-tier sword with construction parameters of 3 attack damage and -2.4 attack speed. Stone tier adds 1 more attribute damage, so it matches a stone sword's final 5 damage. This project preserves that final damage, 131 durability, and attack speed. The peeler is not added to the FarmersDelight knife tag; only the minecraft:potato -> peeled_potato cutting board recipe accepts the exact peeler ID.

Recipes and Tags

The upstream source contains 37 recipe JSON files, 17 of which reference optional-mod namespaces and are therefore not registered directly. The project uses 10 separate fallback recipes to restore acquisition paths. The runtime pack contains:

The project does not create a private RecipeType. Potato slicing uses #farmersdelight:tools/knives; syals_delight:food_oil contains only the three oil bottles.

Animal Fat Drops

The original mod appends one animal fat to the death loot of cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, goats, and mooshrooms without a probability check. This project preserves a 100% chance and amount 1 by default. config.yml can change the chance, amount, and entity list.

Drops are synchronously added to EntityDeathEvent on the region thread, so Folia compatibility is preserved. The plugin only accepts the exact ID syals_delight:animal_fat; if CraftEngine returns AIR, BARRIER, or another custom ID, the extra drop is cancelled.

Currently No Compatibility Projects

There are currently no compatibility projects for the optional-mod namespaces referenced by the source. Original recipes that depend on those items are not registered; fallback recipes are used uniformly to keep every add-on item obtainable.

Acquisition categories:

• Directly obtainable with only Minecraft, CraftEngine, and FarmersDelight: all 30 add-on items.
• Original recipes that require an additional compatibility provider: fried naquadah slice, underground oil, zombie oil, vinegar chips, astera chips, broccoli chips, donkey burger chips, pesto chips, and steak chimichurri chips.
• Currently unavailable as original external items: the 16 IDs in the table above.

Fallback recipes are located in configuration/compatibility_fallback_recipes.yml and configuration/farmersdelight/compatibility_fallback_recipes.yml. They never write unknown namespaces into the running CraftEngine recipes.

Environment and Installation

1. Install Java 21 and Paper 26.3 or Folia 26.3.
2. Install CraftEngine 26.9.1 or newer.
3. Install FarmersDelight-Plugin 1.0.3.
4. Place SyalsDelight-1.0.0.jar in plugins/.
5. Fully stop and restart the server.

The first start installs plugins/CraftEngine/resources/syals_delight and writes .syals-delight-resources-version. Normal restarts only restore missing files. A plugin version change replaces the owned namespace and removes files that are no longer included. Existing user changes to external config.yml, gui.yml, and lang/*.yml files are never overwritten.

Configuration

config.yml controls the player-message language, resource repair, version replacement, animal-fat enablement/chance/amount/entity list, and optional-item checking after FarmersDelight warmup.

gui.yml only records the use of FarmersDelight's public recipe pages. This add-on has no private station GUI.
