AuraLite Realistic Crafting

The mod reworks 1258 crafting recipes so that they stay close to the vanilla results while making the crafting steps more realistic. It is distributed in three formats: a vanilla data pack, a Fabric mod and a Forge mod, all built from the same source. The mod registers through lowcodefml pure data and Java code, so the recipe set comes from data files rather than custom crafting logic.

On a server, the same file can go into the server's mods folder or into the world's datapacks folder, so the rework applies without players installing anything. Server owners can add the data pack to an existing world and run reload in the game, then check it with the datapack list command. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, for Fabric and Forge, with the Fabric Loader 0.14 or newer and Forge 47.x as the required loader versions.

The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The mod is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, although the source code and an issue tracker are public.
