Now Available: Ranch 2.0 — The Sauce & Sacrifice Update
Ranch has escaped the bottle.
Ranch Trails. Ranch Puddles. Jugs of Ranch. Forbidden rituals. Universal Ranch.
Food was only the beginning.
Guys… it’s ranch. Do I need to say more?
Inspired by the world discovering America’s favorite condiment, Ranch. is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly mod built around one simple idea:
Put ranch on food.
Eat the food.
Become better.
If Minecraft considers it edible, it can probably be ranched.
Apples? Ranch.
Bread? Ranch.
Steak? Obviously ranch.
Rotten Flesh? Unfortunately ranch.
Enchanted Golden Apple? Especially ranch.
The ranch has escaped the bottle.
Ranch can now spread across the ground as connected Ranch Trails, gather into Ranch Puddles, guide passive animals and villagers, fill cauldrons, and eventually become part of a ritual that should probably never have been attempted.
2.0 adds:
Tools.
Weapons.
Armor.
Blocks.
Items that were never emotionally prepared to become dinner.
Craft a Ranch Bottle, then apply it to almost any edible item.
To use ranch:
Crafting Recipe:
Ranched food keeps its original name and item data, works with vanilla foods and most modded foods automatically, and can only be ranched once.
There are rules.
Not many.
But there are rules.
By default, ranched foods gain:
+25% Hunger
+25% Saturation
Both bonuses are configurable.
Ranch Bottles have 32 uses and return a Glass Bottle when emptied.
Ranch can be placed directly onto the ground.
One use creates a Ranch Trail.
Use ranch on the same spot again and it becomes a Ranch Puddle.
Trails visually connect across the world, including one-block height changes. Nearby passive animals and villagers can follow connected trails toward Ranch Puddles.
Yes.
You can now build ranch-based public transportation.
Sometimes 32 uses simply is not enough.
The Jug of Ranch combines multiple Ranch Bottles into one deeply reasonable container with 256 uses.
It can:
When emptied, it returns a Bucket.
This is considered family size.
Some items are not edible.
This was an oversight.
The Universal Ranch can apply ranch to non-food items and make them edible.
Universal-ranched items receive food values based on rarity and can be eaten like normal food.
You wanted to eat a Diamond Sword?
No?
Well, now the option exists.
The Universal Ranch cannot be crafted.
It must be summoned.
The Forbidden Recipe book contains the ritual pattern and instructions required to create it using:
Build the ritual correctly, make the offering, and hope the Ranch Gods find your work sufficiently flavorful.
Build it incorrectly and they will let you know.
For modpack creators who fear the power of ranch, several behaviors can be adjusted.
Config options include:
So yes, you can stop players from putting ranch on divine reality-bending apples.
You can also prevent them from performing forbidden condiment rituals.
But should you?
Ranch. includes advancements for players who insist on exploring the full consequences of dressing.
Including:
And more.
This mod still does not add machines.
It still does not add crops.
It still does not add a complicated condiment processing pipeline.
It adds ranch.
There is just significantly more of it now.
