Ad Astra: Fatal's QoL Crafting
Ad Astra: Fatal's QoL Crafting changes stair and slab recipes and adds Create stone crafting to the Ad Astra space mod on NeoForge 1.20.4.
What it does
Crafting a stair yields 8 stairs instead of 4, and crafting stairs or slabs back together restores full blocks. Stone crafting recipes from the Create mod can also be used on Create stones, so builders working with both mods need fewer crafting steps.
The mod is a small compatibility layer that connects Fatal's QoL Crafting with Ad Astra, and it needs both to run. Its version 1.0.0 file targets 1.20.4 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
Installation requires Ad Astra and Fatal's QoL Crafting, both on NeoForge. The author's public source code, issue tracker and wiki are available for anyone who wants to read the project.
Key features
Eight stairs per craft
A stair recipe returns 8 stairs rather than the vanilla 4, reducing the number of crafts needed for large builds.
Stairs and slabs restore blocks
Crafting stairs or slabs back together gives the original full block again.
Create stone recipes
Stone crafting recipes from Create work on Create stones, adding another route to processed stone blocks.
