Arcane Crafting

by DanirGame

Arcane Crafting lets players craft items that normally cannot be made, and it is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on the server alone.

What it does

Several items in Minecraft have no crafting recipe, such as the Enchanted Golden Apple, the Totem of Undying, and the Elytra. This mod adds recipes for them through a datapack, so the items become obtainable with ordinary materials. Its recipes use gold blocks, emeralds, chorus fruit, phantom membranes and feathers, among others.

The mod requires Fabric and is published only for 1.21.1. Because it is server-side only, players join without installing anything, and the server owner places the mod in the mods folder. The datapack is a required part of the setup, so the recipes are not present unless it is loaded in the world. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Enchanted Golden Apple recipe

    The Enchanted Golden Apple is crafted from eight gold blocks and an apple.

  2. Totem of Undying recipe

    The Totem of Undying is made from gold, emerald and chorus fruit.

  3. Elytra recipe

    The Elytra is crafted from phantom membranes and feathers, so it does not depend on finding one.

  4. Recipe viewing with JEI

    Installing JEI or Just Enough Items on the client shows these recipes, including the ones the datapack adds.

How it compares

Full comparison

No Crafting mod is server-side only and open source is not claimed for it, but it targets 1.21.8 instead of 1.21.1. Arcane Imbued is client and server, all rights reserved, and built for 1.21.1 like this mod. Uncraftables Plus works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.9, and the server is required while the client is optional.

Questions

Does Arcane Crafting need to be installed on the client?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. Only the server needs it.

Why are the recipes missing after installing the mod?

The recipes come from a datapack that must be loaded in the world. Without it, the uncraftable items remain unavailable.

Which Minecraft version does Arcane Crafting support?

Only 1.21.1. The latest Fabric file was published on 2026-06-22 for 1.21.1.
