To prepare more wholesome meals, you need to craft yourself a clay pot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic. Once you have a burned claypot, place it back into the fire pit input slot (left) and you are ready to cook some meals.  
To prepare more wholesome meals, you need to craft yourself a clay pot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic. Once you have a burned claypot, place it into the fire pit input slot (left) and you are ready to cook some meals.  


There are 5 base types of meals. Which meal you create is determined by what you put into the claypot, but the ingredients do not have to be in any particular order when placing them into the claypot. To create a serving of a meal, you must put 1 item per slot in the claypot. For example, a porridge requires "two grain", you must add two individual pieces of grain, one in each of two slots, but you can put these in any slot in the clay pot. You don't have to put the grain in the "first two slots" of the claypot, but placing two grain in one slot of the claypot will not create a porridge. Adding optional items in the other input slots of the claypot will increase the nutrition value and satiation of the meal depending on which ingredients you choose to add. When you have created a valid meal recipe by combining correct ingredients, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing you of what you will create when you cook your meal.
There are 5 types of meals. The meal type you create is determined by which two "required" ingredients are placed into the claypot. To create one serving of any meal, place one of each required item into two separate claypot slots (this defines the meal type). For example, a porridge requires "two grain", so you must add two individual pieces of grain in two separate claypot slots. However, you don't have to put the grain in the "first two slots" of the claypot to create a porridge, though placing two grain in one slot of the claypot will not create a porridge. Adding "optional" ingredients in the other two input slots of the claypot will increase the nutrition value and satiation of the meal depending on which items you choose to add. When you have created a valid meal recipe by combining correct ingredients, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing you of what you will create when you cook your meal.


The claypot allows you to cook up to 6 servings at a time. You can increase the amount of servings by increasing the number of items in all slots. If you are trying to create multiple servings and you do not increase all the items in the input slots by the same amount, your food will not cook!
The claypot allows you to cook up to 6 servings of any meal at a time. To cook multiple servings of a meal, increase the number of ingredient items added to all slots equally. If you are trying to create multiple servings and you do not increase all the items in the input slots by the same amount, your food will not cook!


To eat a meal, place your pot of cooked food onto the ground or table, then right click on with a empty bowl in hands, or vice versa. You can also put your cooked meals in an empty crock afterwards by placing the pot onto the ground or table and then right click with an empty crock to fill it with up to 4 servings.
* '''To eat a meal''': Food may be consumed from a filled bowl. Right click with the filled bowl placed in an active slot in your hotbar. You will consume food until you are full, which may leave partial portions of food in the bowl.
 
* '''To fill a bowl''': A bowl holds one meal portion and may be filled from a claypot or food storage crock. To fill a bowl, place your container of cooked food onto the ground or table, then right click on with a empty bowl in your active hand. Bowls of food may be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves.
 
* '''To store a meal''': Four portions of any cooked meal can be stored in an empty crock. Place the pot onto the ground or table and right click the pot with an empty crock to transfer meals to the storage crock. Storage crocks may be sealed for long term storage using fat or wax in the crafting grid, Crocks may also be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves.
 
You may also fill bowls and crocks with meals while the claypot is in the firepit.
