Cooking Pot
The Cooking Pot module introduces a complete cooking system fully integrated into Foundry VTT. It enhances immersion and adds resource management to your games, allowing GMs to create and manage recipes, handle ingredients, cook meals, and seamlessly integrate everything with the Backpack module.
βοΈ Key Features
Section titled ββοΈ Key Featuresβ- Create and Manage Recipes: Define ingredients, cooking steps, and resulting items.
- Ingredient Management: Add, categorize, and organize ingredients with ease.
- Cook and Consume: Use the Cooking Pot and Cutting Board interfaces to prepare recipes, consume ingredients directly from character backpacks, and instantly produce results.
