Crafting Ores and Creative Items
by _Vision_
Crafting Ores and Creative Items lets players craft ores such as diamond, plus creative-only items and blocks like bedrock and barriers, from ordinary materials.
What it does
The mod makes diamonds and other ores craftable, so a player can build them from materials such as stone and blue wool instead of searching for them underground. Some items and blocks that normally exist only in creative mode, including bedrock and barriers, also become craftable. A barrier, for example, can be used to fool a friend or build a bedrock prison.
The mod adds recipes that turn nuggets into a full ore block, and it is meant to make full diamond armour and tools easier to obtain in survival. Using a barrier, bedrock or end portal frame in the world hands over the matching item, and a bedrock pickaxe breaks any block it is used on, so a bedrock prison needs care. The author has said that more ores may become craftable in future updates.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.14.4 – 1.21.5, and it is needed on both the client and the server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
