Anvil Crushing Recipes

by supersaiyansubtlety

Anvil Crushing Recipes lets data packs define what a falling anvil does when it lands on a block or entity, with crushing recipes that take one more block, entity or tag as input.

FabricQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 26.3

What it does

Recipes are added through data packs and use a new data type. Each recipe takes one more block, entity or tag as its input and produces a block, an item or both. The mod ships several built-in data packs covering stone, cobblestone, deepslate, ice, ores and basalt, and each one can be disabled like any other data pack. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.17 – 26.3.

The server must run the mod to apply the recipes, while players may leave it out, and a client with the mod adds REI support. The mod works in single player as well because the integrated server runs it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code, issue tracker and wiki publicly linked.

Key features

  1. Anvil crushing recipes

    Falling anvils can turn weak blocks into broken ones and compress stone into deepslate, cobblestone or other variants.

  2. Built-in data packs

    Stone, deepslate, ice, ore, pumpkin and sapling crushing rules come in separate packs, so each can be switched off alone.

  3. Ore and block drops

    Anvils can make ores pop out as items or degrade them, with cobbled deepslate and netherrack among the blocks they can yield.

  4. Custom recipes

    Server owners and pack makers can write their own crushing rules with the new data type and add them through data packs.
