i would like to suggest 2 mods.

the first one is for more cooking recipe

and the second one is for the minecart system

what do you think about the mods ?

I support both, no doubt.

CheffCraft requires client-side patching which not everyone will be able to do and it will break on every Minecraft client update.

MinecartMania may be worth looking into as its available as a hey0 plugin, which is the preferred mod framework.
