World Generation & Discovery
Exploration is part of A & A Cooking progression. The current v0.4.0-alpha.1 build adds Salt and Recipe Notes to selected vanilla structure loot tables.
Salt distribution
Section titled “Salt distribution”Each successful Salt roll adds one aandacooking:salt item.
| Structure chest | Chance |
|---|---|
| Village Butcher | 75% |
| Village Fisher | 75% |
| Other selected Village chests | 40% |
| Abandoned Mineshaft | 50% |
| Shipwreck Supply | 45% |
| Shipwreck Treasure | 45% |
| Simple Dungeon | 30% |
| Pillager Outpost | 20% |
| Stronghold Corridor | 20% |
| Stronghold Crossing | 20% |
| Stronghold Library | 20% |
The selected 40% Village group includes Armorer, Cartographer, Desert House, Fletcher, Mason, Plains House, Savanna House, Shepherd, Snowy House, Taiga House, Tannery, Temple, Toolsmith, and Weaponsmith chests.
Salt is an exploration and pantry ingredient. The Kitchen Sink provides water, not Salt.
Recipe Notes
Section titled “Recipe Notes”Recipe Notes are also added to structure loot. The structure type controls which Recipe Book categories can be selected.
| Structure group | Chance | Recipe categories |
|---|---|---|
| Villages | 45% | Meals, Sides, Baking, Desserts, Sauces & Condiments, Other |
| Shipwrecks | 55% | Soups & Stews, Drinks |
| Stronghold Library | 80% | Any category |
Village Recipe Notes can appear in the same broad set of Village chest types used by the discovery system. Shipwreck notes can appear in Map, Supply, and Treasure chests.
The Recipe Book currently contains 233 discoverable recipes, so the note placed into a chest is selected from the eligible recipes for that structure group.
Shipwreck cargo direction
Section titled “Shipwreck cargo direction”Salt currently appears directly in Shipwreck Supply and Treasure chests. A future presentation pass may replace the loose chest item with a sealed Spice Crate or similar protected trade cargo container.
That future change is about presentation and world storytelling. Shipwreck Salt itself is already implemented.
The intended Shipwreck theme can continue to emphasize:
- seafood recipes
- preserved foods
- sailor meals
- chowders and other ship appropriate soups
- pantry and trade cargo ingredients
Future world integration
Section titled “Future world integration”Possible later additions include natural Salt generation such as Rock Salt deposits and more structure specific pantry presentation. Witch Huts remain a thematic possibility, but vanilla Witch Huts do not provide a standard chest to extend through the current loot table approach.
These ideas are not part of the current v0.4.0-alpha.1 build.

Plains Village Markets
Section titled “Plains Village Markets”The mod also adds a generated Plains Village Market structure with plazas, market stalls, kitchens, bakeries, gardens, merchant facilities, and gathering areas. It is separate from the normal structure chest loot described above.
Market Crates can contain themed supplies. Spice Traders bring visiting merchants and shipments, while Village Bands add music to the market.
Shipwreck cargo
Section titled “Shipwreck cargo”Generated crate cargo now includes a Shipwreck supply profile. The usable Spice Box is also implemented. Broader or more detailed Shipwreck trade cargo presentation may still be expanded later.
