Craftables for Unobtainables
by Immortal_1
Craftables for Unobtainables lets players craft items that normally come only from chests, mobs or rare structures, such as Totems of Undying and Elytra.
What it does
Many items that vanilla Minecraft leaves out of crafting gain a recipe in this mod. Examples named by the author include Totems of Undying, Enchanted Golden Apples, Diamond Horse Armor, Golden Horse Armor, Saddles and Name Tags, and a new recipe for Leather Horse Armor is added alongside the existing one. Elytra and Nether Stars are deliberately left out, so end-game exploration keeps its purpose.
The recipes are meant to keep the core balance and progression of the game intact and to feel fair next to the vanilla design. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It targets NeoForge only, with a single file, 1.0.0 for 1.21.5, published on 2025-05-30, and the mod covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 in its builds. The license is the BSD 2-Clause License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Craftable totems and apples
Totems of Undying and Enchanted Golden Apples can be crafted from ordinary materials instead of being found in the world.
Horse gear recipes
Saddles, Name Tags, Diamond Horse Armor and Golden Horse Armor gain crafting recipes, and Leather Horse Armor gets an additional recipe.
Balanced recipe set
Recipes are tuned to keep progression and difficulty close to vanilla, with no change to what the game already allows.
Elytra and Nether Stars kept rare
These two items are excluded from crafting so that structures and exploration still matter in late game.
