CJ's Balanced Woodcutter

by CJRVWilliams

CJ's Balanced Woodcutter changes what the woodcutter produces when wood, hyphae and bamboo blocks are broken down, and its recipes are shown in a recipe book.

What it does

The mod reworks the woodcutter so that breaking down wood, hyphae and bamboo blocks yields a set of products with slightly higher rates than the vanilla recipes. Balanced recipes cover a range of outputs, and balanced copper cutting and duplicatable pottery sherds are included alongside them. Heavy core duplication is also part of the pack.

The crafting table can be used through a stonecutter-style interface, and the default modded recipes that the mod adds are placed in the recipe book. Because recipes appear there, they can be viewed in JEI or in whichever recipe viewer a player prefers. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available. The server needs the mod while players may add it, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Balanced woodcutter recipes

    Breaking down wood, hyphae and bamboo blocks gives a balanced set of products at slightly higher rates.

  2. Balanced copper cutting

    Copper cutting recipes are rebalanced so the outputs are more even across the material.

  3. Duplicatable pottery sherds

    Pottery sherds can be duplicated, adding a way to obtain them beyond the default sources.

  4. Heavy core duplication

    Heavy cores can be duplicated, giving players a second route to that material.

  5. Recipe book and viewer support

    Modded recipes are added to the recipe book, and JEI or another preferred viewer can display them.

Use cases

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who run survival worlds with woodcutter-based production, and server owners who want to adjust the output rates of woodcutter recipes. Only the server needs the mod installed, so players can join without it.

What the author says

This pack allows you to break down woods, hyphaes, and bamboo, into its product blocks, at slightly higher rates than the crafting table allows through the stonecutter. Have a request? Let me know in the discord!
