BetterRecipes
by solonovamax
Players who want cheaper crafts can use BetterRecipes, a Fabric and Quilt utility that adds and rebalances recipes for vanilla items.
What it does
BetterRecipes adds recipes for many items that vanilla Minecraft leaves uncraftable, with the goal of wider access rather than a change of pace. Recipes cover anvils, chorus fruit, jukebox and shulker boxes, soul sand and soul soil, string and quartz blocks. Ore recipes are rebalanced so that breaking an ore with the enchantment returns more than before and the recipe costs less.
The mod needs Fabric API on either loader, and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.18 – 1.19.2, with 6 release versions and 1.3.0 for 1.19.2 as the latest file, dated 2022-09-23.
Key features
Repairable anvils
Chipped and cracked anvils can be crafted from iron blocks, and damaged anvils can be repaired.
Alternative jukebox recipe
A jukebox can be made with amethyst in place of diamonds.
Soul sand and soul soil conversion
Soul sand and soul soil can be converted into each other, and soul soil becomes renewable through bartering.
Quartz and shulker box crafts
Quartz can be stored as a block while still using its redstone recipes, and a shulker box can be crafted without first making a chest.
