by NikDev

Nik's Craftableores lets players craft vanilla ores from their matching items, so iron, gold, diamond, emerald and coal can be made back from ingots, gems and blocks.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

Crafting recipes are added for the vanilla ore blocks, so an iron ingot, a diamond or an emerald can be turned back into its ore. The mod is meant for long mining trips where a player wants more control over how resources are used. It needs both the server and every player to run it, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional but useful for viewing the new recipes in game.

The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, with eleven release versions covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Ore crafting recipes

    Vanilla ores such as iron, gold, diamond, emerald and coal can be crafted from their corresponding items and blocks.

  2. Resource control

    Players decide when to convert items back into ore, which gives more control over a long supply of resources.

  3. Recipe viewing with JEI

    Just Enough Items shows the added recipes in game, making it simpler to check what converts to what.
