[Epic] Growthcraft Confectionery
Alatyami opened this issue · 6 comments
Background
A confectionery is candy and other sweets considered collectively. The process of making candy goes back to 1500BC and was actually first discovered by caveman by eating honey combs and honey. In 1500BC the Egyptians used honey and made candy by adding figs, nuts, dates and various spices. The candy chocolate bar first surfaced in 1847 by Joseph Fry in England. He discovered a way for combining cacao butter and powder and sugar to create a paste that could then be pressed using a mold.
Concept
The process of making candy is fairly simple and meets the scope of Growthcraft. Growthcraft strives to extend the world of Minecraft with historical processes of making food and drink types. Growthcraft Confectionery will pair well with Growthcraft Milk's cheeses and leverage the cooking process from Growthcraft Cellar.
The addition of this sub-module will require that we evaluate the effort vs benefits of our food items.
Scope
Heated Table
- #101 The heated table will be similar to a furnace but give off heat like a magma block. This is needed to enable micro devices like the culture jar and the fondue pot (new).
Fondue Pot
- #172 The Fondue Pot will be used for melting chocolate and/or cheese to mix with other foods and will in turn add a bonus to consuming the food item.
Chocolate
- #174 Chocolate will be taken to a new level. Extending the usage of coco beans, chocolate will be the basis for the majority of initial recipes for this sub-module.
- #185 Molds for shaping chocolate.
- #175 Vinegar is needed to make some chocolates like Ruby Chocolate.
- #176 An alkali is needed to "dutch" the coco powder.
Caramel
- #185 Melted Caramel (Fluid)
Raisins
- #185 Placing grapes into a drying rack to create raisins. Color depends on the type of grape placed in the rack.
Marshmellow
- Marshmallow plant
- Smore's (would require chocolate, marshmallow, cracker, and heated table)
Tasks
- Create sub-module stub for growthcraft_confectionery
This would be a pretty cool addition - preferably it would be the more old-fashioned or traditional confectionery? e.g. boiled lollies, Turkish delight, licorice, toffee apples etc. Something like konpeito to add a bit "exotic" but still traditional.
A heated table would be nice for the culture jar too - it does feel a bit weird to have it floating over fire. To be honest I originally assumed you could just put it on top of a lit vanilla furnace and it would heat it.
