Crafting Reborn
by LoJaymez
Crafting Reborn adds a set of extra crafting recipes, letting players turn common materials into enchanted golden apples, elytra, horse armor and full-block smelting results.
What it does
The mod adds many recipes to the game, several of them for items that are otherwise hard to obtain. Enchanted golden apples can be crafted from eight gold blocks around an apple, and elytra can be made from a popped chorus fruit, a nether star and six phantom membranes. Horse armor is also craftable, with one example using six diamonds and a wool block for diamond horse armor.
Other recipes let players smelt whole blocks of raw material in a furnace or blast furnace, and a block of iron can be made from its raw form. Because the recipes are plain crafting entries, the mod suits survival players who want quicker access to these items. The author recommends Enough Items or Roughly Enough Items to browse the new recipes in game.
Crafting Reborn runs on the server, and the client is optional. Players who join a server that runs it do not need to install it, though adding it on the client lets them see the recipes in a recipe viewer. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Enchanted golden apple recipe
Eight gold blocks around an apple produce an enchanted golden apple, a recipe that skips the usual gold nugget cost.
Elytra recipe
A popped chorus fruit, a nether star and six phantom membranes form an elytra, so flight gear is reachable without an end city.
Horse armor from materials
Horse armor can be crafted from six of a material, with a diamond option that uses one wool block and six diamonds.
Block smelting
Full blocks of raw material can be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace, and a block of iron can be made from raw iron.

How it compares
More Crafting Recipes! is also a server-side mod, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and the All rights reserved license, so it covers an earlier version range than this mod. Horse Armor Craftings also works with the server alone, is published under All rights reserved for 1.21 – 26.2, and is limited to horse armor. Marxx's_Recipes_Plus is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and needs the client and server together, which differs from this mod's setup, where the server must run it and the client may leave it out.
