What it does
Croptopia's Chocolaterie is an add-on for the Croptopia mod. It focuses on one specific activity: making chocolate. You can create a variety of chocolates with different fillings. The mod builds on the existing Croptopia framework, so you need that base mod to run this.
Compatibility
This mod runs on the Fabric loader. It supports specific Minecraft versions: 1.17.1, 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2, and 1.19. What you get doesn't support other versions. If you are playing on a different version, this mod won't work.
Both the client and server sides are required. You must install the mod on your client and the server must have it installed as well. This is standard for mods that add new items or mechanics, but it's worth noting if you're joining a server. Make sure the server has the same version of the mod installed to avoid crashes or missing items.
Who it's for
This is for players who already use Croptopia and want to expand their food options. It isn't a standalone mod. You can't use it without Croptopia. If you're looking for a general food mod, this is too narrow. It's specifically for chocolate enthusiasts who want to craft different types of chocolate bars or treats within the Croptopia ecosystem.
The mod is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Here's the thing, this means you can modify and share the code, but you must keep the same license for your changes. If you're planning to fork or modify the mod, check the license terms carefully.
What to expect
The core feature is crafting. You'll find new recipes for chocolates with various fillings. The exact list of fillings and recipes is not detailed in the public description, so you'll need to check the in-game crafting table or the mod's documentation for specifics. That mod does not change the base Croptopia mechanics. It adds to them.
There are no performance claims or optimization details provided in the source. Don't assume it'll speed up your game or slow it down. It's a content addition, not a performance mod.
Installation notes
You need Fabric installed on your Minecraft client. Then, install the Croptopia mod. Finally, install Croptopia's Chocolaterie. The order matters. Croptopia must be present before this add-on can function. If you're on a server, the server administrator must install both mods. You can't just install it on your client and expect it to work on a server that doesn't have it.
This mod is simple in scope. It does one thing: adds chocolate making. If you want that, it's a straightforward addition to your Croptopia setup. If you want a full overhaul of food mechanics, look elsewhere.
