Non-Craftable
Non-Craftable brings back crafting recipes for items that vanilla Minecraft removed, using mob drops such as blaze rods and ender pearls.
What it does
Non-Craftable adds recipes that turn mob drops into items players can craft, including blaze rods, ender pearls, glow ink sacs, ghast tears, rotten meat, slime balls and enchanted golden apples. The stated aim is to let players obtain these items through crafting instead of relying only on mob drops.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since it is a client and server environment. It is published for Forge only, with a single build for 1.20.1. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that can display the added recipes, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
The first file appeared on 2024-12-14 and the latest one, version 0.0.2, on 2024-12-17. Its recipes can be used alongside the other crafting-related mods in the catalog, though the card names only the alternatives listed in the comparison below.
Key features
Mob drop recipes
Blaze rods, ender pearls and ghast tears can be crafted from recipes that use other items, rather than found only from mobs.
Glow ink and slime balls
Glow ink sacs and slime balls gain crafting recipes, so their supply does not depend on hunting.
Food and golden apples
Rotten meat and enchanted golden apples are included among the craftable items.
Restored removed items
The mod restores crafting for items that vanilla removed, changing what can be obtained without mob kills.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want the listed mob drops to be craftable, and server owners who want that option on their server. Because both sides need the mod, it is most useful on servers where everyone installs it.
How it compares
CraftEverything is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, with the client and server environment and not open source, and it covers vanilla items more broadly. Talona's Craftable Spawn Eggs And Spawner is also Forge, 1.20.1 and client and server, but under All rights reserved, and it targets spawn eggs and spawners instead. Craftable Ink Sacs is server-side only under the MIT License, so players join without installing it, which differs from Non-Craftable's both-sides requirement.
