Skillet

The Skillet is a frying pan. Cook with it in your hand near a fire, or place it on a heat source as a small, fast grill. It cooks everything a campfire or the Stove can, in a fraction of the time: food that takes 30 seconds on a campfire is done in 6 seconds. It also hits hard, for 4 hearts.

  1. Hold the Skillet in one hand and raw food in the other, and stand close to heat: any heat source in the 3×3×3 blocks around you counts, even an unlit campfire or Stove. Being on fire works too.
  2. Hold right-click. One item goes into the pan and starts frying.
  3. Keep holding until it’s done. The cooked food goes into your inventory.

Let go early and you get the raw item back. You can’t start frying underwater, and food that can’t be grilled shows a hint instead.

Sneak and right-click a block with the Skillet to place it; a normal right-click doesn’t. Set it on a lit heat source, just like a Cooking Pot.

  • Right-click with food to put the whole stack in. The Skillet must be empty first: it won’t take more of a stack that is already cooking.
  • Each item fries in the Skillet time, then gets tossed out the side, and the next one starts.
  • Right-click with an empty hand to take the stack back.
  • No heat: the current item loses progress twice as fast as it cooked. A waterlogged Skillet drops its food and won’t take more.

The Skillet takes 20% of the campfire time, rounded down to whole seconds. Each level of Fire Aspect on the Skillet takes off another 5% of the campfire time, but nothing cooks faster than 3 seconds. A placed Skillet keeps the Fire Aspect it had when you placed it.

All of the mod's grill foods take 30 seconds on a campfire. In a Skillet that is 6 s without Fire Aspect, 4 s with Fire Aspect I, and 3 s with Fire Aspect II.

The Skillet hits for 8 damage (4 hearts) with extra knockback, but it is slow: attack speed 0.9. A fully charged hit lands with a heavy clang. It has 250 durability, loses 1 per hit and 1 per block you mine with it, and is repaired with Iron Ingot.

It takes Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, Knockback, Looting, Fire Aspect, Unbreaking, Mending and Curse of Vanishing, but never Sweeping Edge. Fire Aspect does double duty: it sets mobs alight and makes your cooking faster.

  • Breaking a placed Skillet drops its food and the Skillet itself, with its enchantments, durability and name intact.
  • Held vs placed heat. In your hand an unlit campfire or Stove counts as heat; a placed Skillet needs it lit.
  • No hoppers. Nothing can load a placed Skillet automatically.
  • Sparks. A placed Skillet with Fire Aspect gives off little sparks, more with higher levels.
