⚠️Caution! When updating this mod from v0.1.0 to v1.0.0 (or heigher), existing jam sandwiches in your world will be lost. 
See this guide for more details:

Updating Guide

In v1.0.0, all jam sandwhiches ({grain name} Bread with {jam name} jam) have changed their internal code.
As a result, existing jam sandwiches from old version turn into useless black squares (unknown items).

image

First, take a backup of the world before updating the mod.
Then, you have two options:

(A) Update to v1.0.0, discard the black squares, and get new jam sadwiches in creative mode

The black squares won't break the game. You can just discard them and then obtain new jam sandwiches from the creative inventory. 

(B) Play migration version (v0.9.*) first, then update to v1.0.0

v0.9.* has a migration feature that converts old jam sandwiches into new ones, so playing it for a while and then updating to v1.0.0 keep your sandwiches safe.
Note that the conversion doesn't affect:

- Chunks not loaded yet
- Backpacks placed on the ground

For most of containers, such as on the ground or wooden trunks, the conversion should work even if you don't open them.

Technical notes:

- Old jam sandwich codes are `jambread-{grain}-perfect-{fruit}` while new one is `jambread`
  - ID remapping can't be applied since the game can't remap multiple old codes to single new one
- As for the conversion feature in v0.9.0, old sandwiches technically "dry into" new ones 

Sorry for inconvenience!

⚠️From v0.9.0, this mod needs Attribute Rendering Library (ARL) to work. The game usually auto-download the dependency, but some issues might happen:

Possible auto-download issue

The game's auto-download might not work properly in certain cases, at least on 1.21.6.
If multiple mods are depending on ARL and you haven't installed ARL yet, the game installs multiple ARL files.

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/8062#issue-3912976120

This shouldn't cause actual errors since the game says it loads the newest version, but the game still emits warnings for the duplicated install.

I recommend installing single version of ARL manually.
Or, after the auto-download, remove the duplicated install manually (usually the latest one will work, so remove the others).

Tested ARL versions for this mod: v2.3.0, v2.8.0, v2.8.1

Overview

This mod adds a new tool jam spoon, which lets you scoop jam from cooking pots and crocks.
Scooped jam can be used to make jam sandwiches and jam pies.

This mod also make peanuts grindable into peanut butter.
You can make PB&J from bread, scoop of jam, and peanut butter!

Scoop of jam and peanut butter are valid ingredients for the sandwich from Dana Can Cook by Dana.

Usage and Crafting

First, craft a jam spoon using a knife and some sticks.

image

Next, right-click a jam-filled cooking pot or crock with the spoon.
You'll obtain two scoops of jam from each serving.
* The pot or crock must be on the ground. If it's still on a shelf or on a firepit, take it down to the ground first.

image

Scoops of jam can be put in pies:

Also you can craft jam sandwiches:

Tips

  • Jam spoons can be stored in tool racks.
  • Scoops of jam spoil twice as fast as jam stored in a pot or crock, so it would be better scooping right before use. 

Note

Current technical limitation for scooping jam:

  • The cooking pots or crocks must be on the ground.
  • The two fruits in the jam must have the same nutrition value. For example, Red Currant-Pomegranate jam can be scooped because both have 80 nutrition, while Red currant-Cranberry jam cannot (80 and 60).
  • The jam must be a vanilla jam. It can't include modded fruits, nor come from modded recipe (e.g. 2 fruits and no honey).

 

Among these, "equal fruit nutrition" and "vanilla recipe" limitation can be ignored to allow scooping anyway, by /soj strict-jam-check 0 command.
However, this may cause nutrition inconsistencies, for example, gaining two 200-nutrition scoops from a 320-nutrition jam.
Use this option only if you accept these inconsistencies.

Features

Peanut Butter, PB&J

Peanuts are now grindable into peanut butter:

Now you can make PB&J!

Compatibility Notes

Dana Can Cook by Dana

Fully compatibe, as described above.

Expanded Foods by l33tmaan, Pursec

From my testing, both mods can co-exist without issues.
They don't seem to bother each other.

However, they are not integrated yet, for example:

  • Scoop of jam or SoJ peanut butter can't be used in EF meals
  • EF peanut butter can't be used to make SoJ PB&J
  • EF breads can't be used to make SoJ jam sandwiches

 

In the future, scoop of jam may be usable in EF meals such as flavored yogurt.

Food Shelves by SONZINA

Compatible: all storages that can store bread can store jam sandwiches and PB&J as well.

Mods adding fruits

They should co-exist with this mod, but jam made from mod fruits can't be scooped.

Mods changing jam recipe

In most cases, you can scoop jam as long as it uses vanilla fruit, after running /soj strict-jam-check 0.
See Usage and Crafting > Note for more details.

Translation

複雑な翻訳を試してみたかったということもあり、日本語対応してみました。

VSの言語設定が日本語であれば諸々翻訳された状態で表示されると思います。

もちろん、他言語の翻訳も歓迎しています(翻訳ファイルを送っていただければ含めます)。

 

I just wanted to try out complex translation, so included translation entries for Japanese.

If your VS language settings  is Japanese, texts from this mod will be displayed in Japanese.

Of course, I welcome translations for other languages (if you send me a translation file, I'll include it in future releases).

Hi, first of all, great mod and good fun to play with! I wondered if it would be possible to add compatibillity with Wildcraft fruits and nuts in a future version? 

Calisto, Jul 31st at 12:41 PM (modified Jul 31st at 9:41 PM)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I made a pot of bluberry jam, put it in a crock, put the crock on the ground but when I try to scoop the jam scoops says it's an unrecognizable ingredient. I've tried it with vanilla blueberries and strawberries with the same results. 

EDIT: I think I figured it out through the power of reading. I must have a mod that changes the recipe for jam to not require honey. I'm such a mod addict that I thought this was vanilla. I will test this later. '

EDIT EDIT: Yes, that was the problem. Always read your mod descriptions. 

TheRealMork, Jul 24th at 1:32 PM

So cool to finally being able to put jam on bread! Thank you.

 

If you happen to have too much time on your hands :P do not hesitate to add metal variants of the spoon. Just for visual satifaction. :)

ZeroAresIV, Jul 8th at 1:59 AM

Could we maybe in the future see Wallnut butter be available for making Sandwiches?

abculatter_2, Jun 11th at 5:42 PM (modified Jun 11th at 5:42 PM)

A compat request for Food Shelves; could you make jam and peanut butter storeable in jars? Because who wouldn't want giant jars of jam and peanut butter?

LexicalAnomaly, May 28th at 3:18 AM

Hey, awesome mod! I recently added compatibility for your jam and peanut butter to be added to some meals in my Variations on a Meal mod because of a commenter's suggestion.

Thank you!
Also I appreciate the note about disabling strict-jam-check when SoJ is installed with your mod.
That's really helpful for users!

Miss0Amelia, May 12th at 2:44 AM

Really, Really love this mod!! If it wasn't for it I probably wouldn't even bother with fruits and berries. Heads up for those playing with the Long Term Food mod you have to use the vanilla ratios and recipe for the jam spoon to work. ie: Fruit, Fruit, Honey, Honey

Good to know. I came to the comments for this exact reason. I adore the Long Term Food mod. Totally confused me when I had just fruit in the cooking pot and it said the jam recipe was valid. 

TheUSDoctor, May 10th at 7:13 AM

Hey, any chance you could add compatibility with Ithania Canned Goods they recently added jars and I noticed the mods weren't compatible (which in hindsight was obvious).

Sneezingprince, May 9th at 10:47 PM

My game seems to crash immediately once I interact with the bread shelf from the Food Shelves mod, I tried to interact with other shelves with normal bread in those and everything is fine, but as soon as I try to interact with the jam bread, my game crashes and locks me out, forcing me to use a backup of my world, otherwise I cant even log back in... Is there a way to look into this? Maybe there is no compatibility with Food shelves and I wasn't aware?

(For anyone reading this later)
Couldn't reproduced with the latest versions of the related mods
Also, since this mod only uses a few small patches for Food Shelves compat, it's unlikely this mod is the actual cause of the crash

Samoja, May 7th at 1:32 PM

Could you make a compatibility patch for Blooddough bread from Butchering mod? It doesn't seem like the two are compatible at the moment. Also it would be nice to have compatibility for various mods that add butter like Dairy Plus, to use it in place of PB.

Would it be possible to shift the most recent update into Latest release instead of For testers please?

Spoonail , Apr 14th at 6:51 AM (modified Apr 14th at 6:56 AM)
  • Vintage Story 1.22.0-rc.8
  • Attribute Rendering Library v3.0.0-pre.11
  • Scoop of Jam v1.2.0-rc.3

I tested this combination and it worked without any issues.

Note that:

  • SoJ v1.2.0-rc.* is for VS 1.22 and not compatible with VS 1.21. If you are on VS 1.21, please use SoJ v1.1.2.
  • On VS 1.22, ARL won't be auto-downloaded. You need to install it manually (it seems you already tried, but just in case).

 

Also, if you'd like to continue troubleshooting, please use a proper channel (see the Help/Contact guide), as ModDB comments are not suitable for this.

What version of ARL do I need to match up with Jam Spoon 1.2.0 rc-3? The latest version, ARL 3.0.0 rc-11 doesn't seem to work with it.

I'm getting a "missing dependency" error when I'm using that one but thought I would ask before I start manually going through every version

Spoonail , Apr 11th at 3:04 AM (modified Apr 11th at 4:12 AM)

traugdor

I tested a few, and noticed if a dependent mod has only prereleases (= versions with dev, pre, or rc), the game doesn't auto-download it.
(It shows a `release not found` message on SP)
ARL currently provides only pre versions for 1.22, so it won't be auto-downloaded if you are on 1.22.

I considered it can be a vanilla dependency resolution issue, or I can suggest Dana changing ARL version modifier, but ended up thinking neither would work well. *
For now, you need to download ARL manually.

* Prerelease modifiers are used for various reasons, not only for mods targetting the prerelease game.
They generally means "it's not intended for general use", so avoiding auto-download makes sense.

Also, using prerelease modifiers on mods during the prerelease game is reasonable too.

Combining these, the situation "auto-download doesn't work at all during the prerelease game" occurs, but I think there's not much I can do.

traugdor, Mar 29th at 5:16 AM

Just letting you know that it doesn't auto-download the ARL dependency on a Linux Server. Idk if it's just a server thing or a Linux thing or just my setup but it didn't work and I had to manually download it.

Cartio, Feb 14th at 11:20 PM

Unironically needs to be a Vanilla feature. I love making jam, but if I ate an entire bowl of jam I'd vomit my guts out. Also great to see I can make fruity pies in winter, you saved christmas dinner's dessert for our village :)

ZeroAresIV, Feb 13th at 5:42 PM

Would love to see more types of nut butter like walnut butter

Also, would it be possible to let you store peanut butter in crocks like pickled veggies? I just think it would be nice to have a crock of peanut butter to save for later.

1.1.1 Update works. No crashes. Thank you !

snailchimera, Feb 13th at 8:20 AM

Thanks for making this mod and for maintaining it. This makes jam so much more useful, and as a minor bonus my kitchen tool rack looks a little less bare.

Yukari_75, Feb 12th at 4:43 AM (modified Feb 12th at 4:44 AM)

I wonder if Wildcraft compability for this would be as difficult as making WC compatible with EF or perhaps easier like WC compatibility for Long Term Foods, I'd guess EF is closer

KiahSIlver, Feb 10th at 1:13 PM

It does work, Thank you again!

KiahSIlver, Feb 10th at 1:03 PM

Spoonail

Thank you Thank you, I'll give it a try and let you know.

Spoonail , Feb 10th at 8:24 AM

KiahSIlver

I didn't even know this mod had compatibility with that 😂
It seems Food Shelves automatically treats items with code `bread-*` shelveable, so old `jambread-...` codes were captured by that, but new `jambread` isn't

I've added explicit compatibility in v1.1.0, so give it a try!
If you still have any issues, please let me know exactly what (blocks, items, etc.) doesn't behave as expected, since I'm not a FoodShelves expert

KiahSIlver, Feb 10th at 6:30 AM

Just thought I should say this, but the scooped jam bread is no longer compatible with Food Shelves because of the change in labling for the code, it doesn't consider it bread anymore. I love the mod, will continue to use it, just have to go back to the 0.1.0 version, so I can have them on the shelves.

Thranos, Feb 9th at 10:29 PM

Also wondering if this is compatible with Wildcraft: Fruit & Nuts

Sableye, Feb 3rd at 7:23 PM

Is this mod compatible with Wildcraft: Fruits and Nuts fruits?

MrJaxDandelion, Jan 25th at 10:23 AM

may we get the option to use expanded foods fruit bread with this too?

RenayEdor, Dec 23rd 2025 at 1:55 AM

can we get an optional craft with peanuts as well as a scoop of jam? I needs me a PB&J

IICubeII, Dec 22nd 2025 at 8:47 PM

Honey dipper so we can make a honey loaf?

KekSee4ek, Dec 15th 2025 at 12:43 AM

First of all, thanks for the cool mod. I might not be offering anything new, but I do have a suggestion for a separate mod where you can cook meat or vegetables (or maybe cheese) with bread. Maybe you can mix them together. But I'd like all of this to be done exclusively with bread. I could suggest using the Expanded Foods mod, but I don't want to completely overhaul all the food in the game.

EthelVril, Dec 8th 2025 at 8:30 AM

Does it work with Expanded Food? Eurielle

 

Eurielle, Dec 3rd 2025 at 4:16 PM

I wish that expanded foods / cullinary artillery did this.

 

It would go so perfectly together.

ZeroAresIV, Dec 1st 2025 at 8:00 AM

please add peanut butter so you can make a PB&J sandwich

 

EthelVril, Nov 30th 2025 at 3:52 PM

Always wondered why expanded foods didn't do this

if i am using a mod to change the satiety of bread, will it use that or does it use a set satiety value ?

This mod literally came out as i was thinking about making a PB&J sandwich, this website is listening to me
