The cooking pot is not working

The cooking pot is not working despite doing the meal making right.

Does it work without the berries ? 

[Olivia Myers]

No it does not.

Welcome to the forums! What version are you playing on, and are you using mods? In 1.21, the cookpot now tells you whether or not you have a valid recipe with the ingredients you added; since there's no such readout here, I'm guessing you are probably still on 1.20. 

In any case, I agree with @Arasine, the combination of berries and mushrooms is the most likely culprit. Removing one or the other should produce a viable porridge recipe. If you're still not getting a viable recipe after that, but are using mods, then I would suspect a mod issue.

I am on 1.19.8

I found out the problem. It was a mod that made porridge require water or milk. I removed it and it fixed the problem.
