📋 About This Mod
Hello friends of the cooking pot,
this mod simple changes the cooking recipes for any food that requires salt. That means, the salt pile is removed from the recipes and a requierment is added to the recipes.
Now you need to have at least one salt pile in your inventory to cook any of this foods.
The salt pile will stay in your inventory.
I found it unimmersive, that we have to use a whole pile of salt for cooking only one recipe. Now we can cook a lot of recipes with only one pile of salt... just like in real life :D
Huzza! The days of oversalted food are gone.
Big Thanks to WigOnTheRun for creating a Synthesis patcher: https://github.com/Michael-wigontherun/SynNotSoSalty
There is also a cool alternative mod created by theblueshark, check it out!

A simple crafting tweak that lets you craft any recipe requiring salt as long as you have at least one salt pile in your inventory, without consuming it. Ideal for players who find salt too scarce or tedious to manage. Lightweight and easy to install.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Removes the annoyance of hunting for salt – one pile covers all your crafting needs.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Decent community trust with 209 endorsements and 30k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Makes salt effectively infinite, which could trivialize survival aspects if you value that challenge.
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest game versions.
- No configuration options – it's all or nothing.
For players who find salt gathering tedious and just want to craft without inventory micromanagement. Also great for builders who need salt for recipes but don't want to farm. Skip if you enjoy the survival challenge of resource scarcity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod doesn't consume salt, you only need to keep one salt pile in your inventory – stash the rest to save weight.
- If you're playing on a server, make sure the mod is installed on the server side as well, or it won't work.
- Check if the mod is compatible with your game version, as it hasn't been updated since 2022.
