Aephera's Recipes
Aephera's Recipes covers crafting and smelting with a set of Forge-only recipe changes that aim to feel closer to vanilla behavior.
What it does
The mod adds recipes that stay close to vanilla crafting, along with bulk crafting and bulk smelting so that many items can be processed in one action. A separate set reverses the crafting of compressed blocks, turning them back into their component items. Several smaller convenience recipes are included as well.
It runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Files are published for Forge only, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and 1.0-1.20.1 as the latest file, dated 2024-04-20.
The mod has no required dependencies, and it was first published and last updated on 2024-04-20, so the current file is the only one listed for the 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 range.
Key features
More vanilla-friendly recipes
Recipes are arranged to follow the layout and logic of vanilla crafting where possible.
Bulk crafting
Several copies of an item can be crafted in one action instead of one craft at a time.
Bulk smelting
Furnace-type blocks can process larger batches of material in a single operation.
Reverse compressed-block crafting
Compressed blocks can be broken back down into the items used to make them.

Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Processing large stockpiles
Players with a lot of raw material can craft or smelt it in batches rather than item by item.
Unpacking compressed blocks
Compressed blocks can be reversed when their component items are needed again.
Who it’s for: Players who want more convenient crafting and smelting in a Forge world, and server owners who want those shortcuts available to every player on the server.
How it compares
Simple Recipes is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Bulk Villager Trading is a client-side only Forge option for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, so it does not change the server. EzyNetherrack is server-side with a client-optional setup for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is open source under the MIT License, a different focus from this mod's crafting changes.
