Better TFCR
by laolizhennui
Better TFCR is a Forge game mechanics mod that changes how TFCR synthesis and formulation work, and it integrates with Create and industrial functions.
What it does
Better TFCR reworks recipes in TFCR, the expansion of the base survival content, so that synthesis is simpler and formulation is optimized. It also balances some recipe outputs, and its module integrates Create and industrial machinery with the existing progression. Client and server both need the mod, since recipe changes must match on each side. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 2.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features

Three current varieties of sand are synthesized from one pebble and one current variety of sand.
