Mechanics
A cafe is designated by a Cafe Manager, and the working area of that cafe is based off the opposite side of the screen:
A cafe needs the following to open:
- At least 3 items on the menu
- At least one Cafe Menu block in the working area
- A linked Cafe Sign block for customers to spawn. This does not need to be placed in the working area of the cafe.
- No other open Cafe Managers in a 9x9x9 area centered around the manager
It can be opened once a Minecraft day.
Drinks are served at the start of the meal. If a bottle is used in the recipe, an empty one will be dropped on the floor when a customer is finished.
Every customer will order a drink if there's at least one on the menu.
Mains are the bread and butter of a cafe, often being priced the highest and earning the most reputation.
Mains that do not have a bowl must be served on a Serving Plate using a Plating Station. A dirty dish will be placed on the table when the customer is done eating that must be cleared before a new customer will sit down at the table.
If a bottle is used in the recipe, an empty one will be dropped on the floor when a customer is finished.
Desserts are the final part of the meal, and customers will have a chance to order them (50% by default) unless the menu only has desserts.
Desserts do not need to be served on plates.
Dirty dishes can be washed by holding right click on a sponge block (in vanilla) or a modded sink. It is controlled using the tag #cozycafe:cleans_dishes.
Reputation is the star system in Cozy Cafe. Each star is worth 1000 points of reputation. It determines a few things:
- How many menu items are required to open (Configurable, 3 per star by default)
- How large your cafe is
- How many customers spawn each day It is earned every time you server a dish, with the amount depending on what type it is:
| Type | Reputation |
|---|---|
| Drink | 2 |
| Main | 10 |
| Dessert | 4 |
Fast service will also multiply reputation. This is based off the configured maximum wait time, which by default is 50 seconds:
| Wait time % | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| <5% | x2 |
| <15% | x1.5 |
| <50% | x1.2 |
If the quality food mod is installed, an additional amount of reputation is earned based off quality:
| Quality | Increase |
|---|---|
| Diamond | 8 |
| Gold | 4 |
| Iron | 2 |
| This is added before service multipliers. |
Reputation is decreased only by customers leaving due to waiting too long, with a flat 50 point decrease.
The working area of the Cafe depends on the amount of stars it has. It can be viewed in-game using the button in the bottom right of the Cafe Manager block.
| Stars | Cafe Size (WxHxD) |
|---|---|
| 5 | 13x5x16 (1,040 blocks) |
| 4 | 11x5x14 (770 blocks) |
| 3 | 9x4x12 (432 blocks) |
| 2 | 7x3 x10 (210 blocks) |
| 1 | 5x3x 8 (120 blocks) |
| 0 | 3x3x6 (54 blocks) |
The Cafe Manager is always treated as the center of the width dimension.
