What This Port Brings to 1.21.1

This port migrates the majority of 1.20.1 content into the 1.21.1 NeoForge ecosystem. Below is a feature overview.

A complete Touhou-themed culinary system, fully ported and JEI-integrated:

• Cooking Pots — Small Iron Pot, Short Iron Pot, Stockpot (3 sizes)
• Cuisine Board — sushi, rolls, and assembled dishes
• Wood Basin — stomping recipes for batch processing
• Steamer Pot + Rack + Lid — stackable steam-cooking
• Sauce Rack, Ingredient Rack, Wine Shelf — decorative storage
• Moka Pot, Kettle, Fermentation Barrel, Drying Rack — coffee, tea, fermented drinks, dried goods
• Cutting Board recipes — over 25 custom cuts (sushi prep, ingredient processing, etc.)
• 70+ cooking pot recipes — full Touhou cuisine lineup (ramen, dango, mochi, sushi, curries, etc.)

👥 Touhou Characters

Full AI behavior, trading systems, and quest mechanics:

• Reimu Hakurei — donation box summoning, feeding quest for her hairband, anger response when villagers are harmed
• Cirno — fairy AI, frog hunting (drops Frozen Frogs), trading, freezing danmaku
• Rumia — flesh-feeding mechanics, charged attack mode, drops hairband on Ex defeat
• Reputation system with character-specific responses
• Donation Box — drop emeralds/gold to summon Reimu

🌸 Equipment & Mechanics

All hats and hairbands ported with their original behaviors:

🎯 Danmaku System

Powered by danmaku_api (bundled):

• Circle / Ball / Mentos / Bubble / Butterfly / Spark / Star bullet types
• 16 dye colors
• Upgrade recipes: 4 Ball danmaku → 1 Bubble danmaku; 4 Spark danmaku → 1 Star danmaku (per color)
• Lasers and laser pencils with upgrade paths
• Hat-based no-consumption support: matching-color danmaku doesn't deplete when wearing the right hat
• Damage type modifications (Reimu hairband → abyssal; etc.)

🍴 Food Items & Effects

• Youkaifying / Youkaified progression (eat flesh → become half-youkai → full youkai)
• Flesh & Cooked Flesh — drops from human-type mobs killed with knife under youkai effects
• Blood Bottle — same mechanic but requires offhand glass bottle
• Higan Soup, Power Soup, Mushroom Soup, Miso Soup, Seafood Miso Soup, Poor God Soup, Tutu Congee, Kaguya Hime, Rice Powder Pork, etc.
• Full coffee lineup (Espresso, Americano, Latte, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Mocha, Affogato, etc.) + remix recipes
• Tea lineup (Green, White, Black, Oolong, Cornflower, Sakura Honey, Saidi, Genmai, Tea Mocha, Green Water)
• Sushi & rolls (handled via Cuisine Board)
• Dango variants (Mitarashi, Kinako, Tsukimi, Sakura, Sweet Ormosia)

🌍 World Generation

• Hakurei Shrine — generates in cherry biomes
• Cirno's Nest — generates in snowy biomes
• Youkai Nest — generates in dark forests
• Sakura Forest / Sakura Birch Forest / Sakura Taiga — three custom biomes
• Crops & wild plants — Soybean, Red Bean, Tea, Coffea, Cucumber, Black/Red/White Grape, Mandrake Root, Udumbara
• Mobs — Boar (forest), Deer (forest, balanced spawn rate), Lamprey (water), Crab (river)
• Loot modifiers — Udumbara appears in Ancient City chests; Crab can be fished from rivers; Lamprey from any water

🏆 Advancements

20+ original advancements ported, including the Feed Reimu challenge (feed Reimu every non-meat food in the mod to obtain her hairband).

🔗 Curios Integration (Soft Dependency)

Curios is fully optional. The mod runs without it, but if Curios API is installed, every hat and hairband gains a Curios capability automatically:

• ✅ Wear hats/hairbands in any Curios slot in addition to the vanilla head slot
• ✅ All hat mechanics check both the vanilla head slot and all Curios slots — wearing Rumia's hairband in a Curios necklace slot still drops mob heads on kill
• ✅ Multi-hat stacking: if you have multiple Curios slots, wearing multiple hats of different colors stacks the danmaku no-consumption support across colors
• ✅ Custom loot conditions correctly read Curios-equipped items (e.g., Rumia's head-drop loot modifier)

🧩 Mod Compatibility

• Lithium (NeoForge) — Compatible. The frog AI mixin uses @ModifyReturnValue so Suwako-hat frogs still attack pillagers even with Lithium's frog_attackables optimization active.
• Kaleidoscope (Cookery) — Compatible. Cooking-pot and cutting-board recipes are generated under the youkaishomecoming namespace (rather than farmersdelight) to prevent silent overrides.
• Farmer's Delight — Required. Cooking pot and cutting board recipe types come from here.
• JEI — Optional. All custom recipe categories registered (Cuisine, Pot Cooking, Basin, Steamer, etc.).
• Jade — Optional. Tooltips on cooking pots, kettles, fermentation barrels.

📦 Dependencies

Required

• NeoForge 21.1.62+
• Farmer's Delight 1.2.4+

Optional

• JEI — recipe viewing
• Curios API — extended slot support for hats/hairbands
• Jade — block tooltips
• TerraBlender — required for the custom Sakura biomes to generate in the Overworld
