Cooking for Blockheads Troubleshooting

A structured checklist for loader, dependency and startup issues.

What to know first

Most startup issues can be narrowed down by checking four things: Minecraft version, loader, Cooking for Blockheads file and required dependencies.

Recommended approach

Do not mix loader builds. A file labeled for Fabric is not a Forge or NeoForge file.

Practical check

For recipe or kitchen behavior issues, reproduce the problem with fewer mods, then add other recipe-changing mods back gradually.
