Cabinets & Counters
Kitchen Cabinets and Kitchen Counters provide the main ambient ingredient storage for a connected A & A Cooking kitchen. v0.4.0-alpha.1 includes twelve material variants of each block.
Status: Implemented
All twelve Cabinet and Counter variants share the same inventories, storage screens, freshness behavior, and connected kitchen network support.
Capacity
Section titled “Capacity”| Block family | Capacity |

See Wood Kitchen Variants for every block ID and the matching crafting layouts.
Ambient storage
Section titled “Ambient storage”Cabinets and Counters use the normal ambient freshness rate. They do not provide refrigeration or freezing by themselves.
For food that needs longer term preservation, use Cold Storage.
Network connectivity
Section titled “Network connectivity”Counters and Cabinets can connect to one another and to other kitchen compatible blocks. Different material variants can be mixed freely in the same network.
The network can traverse functional blocks such as the Kitchen Sink instead of stopping whenever storage furniture is separated by a station.
A simple connected run can look like:
Cabinet → Counter → Sink → Counter → Fridge
The network treats the connected inventories as ingredient sources while keeping each physical block’s inventory separate.
Countertop stations
Section titled “Countertop stations”Countertop processing stations can enter the kitchen network through the Counter beneath them. This allows supported stations to source ingredients without requiring every station to contain a separate copy of the player’s pantry.
Stovetop cookware
Section titled “Stovetop cookware”Skillet, Wok, and Saucepan recipe loading can reach kitchen storage through the Stovetop/Oven and adjacent compatible kitchen furniture.
See the individual cookware guides for station behavior:
Recipe Book integration
Section titled “Recipe Book integration”The pinned Recipe Book system can count exact matching items stored in Cabinets and Counters. Supported station loading can then remove only the missing requirements for the explicitly selected recipe.
The operation is atomic at the recipe storage layer: if the complete missing requirement set cannot be supplied, the kitchen is not supposed to lose a partial set of ingredients.
