Chef's History
The Chef is a Butcher villager from the Village that was once under control by the Pillagers. After the Village was freed, the Chef presumably trained under the Three Swordsman Villagers to achieve his current fighting skills.
After being bored by traditional Minecraft foods, the Stick Figures head to the Village, where they are led to the house of the Chef. The Chef opens the door for them and shows off the Master Cookbook, but refuses to hand it over to them until they complete the trading process, meaning they learn how to cook properly. At first the stick figures bargain with emeralds, then attempt to fight him for the cookbook and steal his food, but are swiftly defeated.
The first recipe is pancakes, with Blue documenting the process, and when they finish making them, they hand them over to the Chef, who accepts them and gives them tomato seeds to unlock the next trade.
The next trade is pizza for oil, and the process of making pizza goes well as well. The stick figures all add their own spin to the meals, and hand them over to the Chef, who gives them three oil buckets and unlocks the third trade. Initially the process of making the food goes well, with the fries, burgers, chicken, and donuts being successful, but Green accidentally drops a donut into the fire. He puts it into the oil to try to douse it, but this only causes the fire to expand, burning the donut to a crisp.
The Fighting Stick Figures come in with the dishes, but due to the burnt donut, the trade is called off. Despite the Sticks begging, they are ultimately kicked out of the house. The next day, the Chef leaves his house to find the Stick Figures sulking on his doorstep. Taking pity on them, he opens up a new trade, with their goal to go to exotic places around the world and find ingredients to make twelve dishes. The Chef gives them maps to lead them on their journey.
Green and Red head to a Latin American village, Yellow and The Second Coming head to a Southeast Asian village, and Blue heads to a French pastry. After learning how to make the dishes and getting the necessary ingredients, and with Blue documenting the cooking processes, they all bid farewell and return to the main village.
There, the Sticks prepare all twelve dishes, and when the Chef comes out, he is ready to eat them. He tries all twelve of them, and satisfied, completes the final trade. He grants the Sticks the Master Cookbook, but reveals it's empty. The Chef reveals that the real Master Cookbook were the recipes written down by Blue all along. Blue rips off the cover of his journal, and places the golden cover on it, satisfied.
The rest of the Sticks, however, were famished and frustrated, with a starving Green punching the Chef in the face. He, along with the other Sticks except for Blue, ravenously dig into the dishes they made.
