Cardboard Chalkbox

by kentapainter

Cardboard Chalkbox is a NeoForge datapack that adds a recipe for the Create cardboard achievement, using the Chalk mod as an ingredient.

NeoForgeServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

The datapack adds one crafting recipe that uses items from Chalk alongside Create. It has to be placed in a world's datapacks folder, and the folder is found inside the Minecraft installation, in the saves directory of the chosen world. The recipe grants the cardboard achievement from Create, and the recipe list includes the original Chalk recipe.

Both Chalk and Create are required dependencies, since the datapack has no effect without the two mods present. Chalk is needed because the recipe refers to its items, and Create supplies the achievement the recipe grants. Only the server needs the datapack, so players can join without installing it. Files exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1 on NeoForge, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-05-29 under the MIT License. The project is not open source.

What the author says

# Cardboard Chalkbox For those who don't like getting lost in caves, there's the Chalk Mod. And for those who love being engineers, there's the Create Mod... so since Create 6.0 brought cardboard, why not include its recipe in Chalk?
