Balanced Deluxe Cooking Pot (By Dihran)

This is my first "mod" and it's actually a tweak to the Deluxe Cooking Pot mod. All the credit goes to the original author, JanKiwen. All I did was make it balanced so that my friends and I could play without feeling it too OP.

I'm not a great programmer (actually a newbie) but I found no bugs during my testing, and if you guys find any I could try to repair it, but no promises. Also, if a more experienced modder wanna help, just PM me.

~ Original Mod ~
- In the original mod food can be cooked using 2, 3 or 4 ingredients (configurable), and the only downside to using less than 4 is getting less or no extra food. So if you cook let's say meatballs using only 1 meat + 1 filler the result will always be 1 piece of meatballs, if you use 2 fillers you'd always get 2 pieces of meatballs and by using 3 fillers (the full recipe) you'd always get 3 pieces. There was a way to configure the mod and get 3 pieces of food even when using 2 ingredients only. I found this to be pretty OP.


~ This Mod ~
- My tweaked version can be configured to need 3 or 4 minimum ingredients (but not only 2 like original mod) but even if configured to need only 3 all cooking done using 3 ingredients will always result in 1 piece of food. Only if players cook using 4 ingredients there is a small chance to result in extra food. Default configuration should give some extra food about a third of the time, most of the time it will be +1 and occasionally +2 (can be turned off in config).

- The default recipe to make the pot is also slightly more difficult and can be configured to be a lot more if you still find it too easy.

- Cooking with less than minimum ingredients (3 or 4, configurable) will always result in Wet Goo. This is probably intended by the original author and I kept it as it is, just adapted to this balanced version.

- Cooking time is faster than vanilla pot as in the original mod, but I nerfed it a little so that players should still need to make more than 1 Deluxe Pot if they want to cook in bulk later. This can also be configured to the point it takes longer to cook instead of cooking faster if you feel slower cooking is a good trade for extra food.

- Fresh bonus was also too high, I hope my version is a little more balanced as the Deluxe Pot will give a small amount of freshness better than vanilla pot, but not as big as the original where I basically never had spoiling issues. Players should still need to be careful about ingredients spoiling, but cooking here will be a little better than using vanilla pots (also configurable).

You can have a few ways to play with the configs, as for example having the pot cook 50% slower than vanilla but always yield 2 pieces of food (with a chance to get 3). Or maybe have it cook 50% faster but have a really hard recipe to make the pot... it's up to you.

Don't know if I explained it good enough, but I hope I did and also hope this balance tweak I made can be useful to other as it will be in my servers. Also sorry if I misspelled something as english is not my native language haha
