Cinnabar Crafting Recipe
by derexXD
Cinnabar Crafting Recipe adds vanilla-friendly ways to obtain cinnabar through crafting with a sulfur block, and the datapack is lightweight.
What it does
The mod is delivered as a data pack, so it works on servers that load datapacks and needs no client-side code. Cinnabar can be crafted from a sulfur block, which gives survival players a route to the material without changing the rest of the game. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 26.2 – 26.3.
The server must run it, but players may leave it out. The default cinnabar source is nonrenewable and comes from a new sulfur cave biome, and the recipe route is what makes the material renewable for those who want that.
