Crafting Refinements

by Fire-Horse27

Crafting Refinements changes the recipes for crafting, blasting, brewing and stonecutting so that results follow their inputs more closely.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21.2 – 26.3

What it does

The pack replaces a set of vanilla recipes with versions that aim for balanced, consistent outputs. Recipes that share an output type use similar inputs, minor differences are allowed where material types differ, and specialized stations such as the stonecutter and blast furnace produce amounts that match their cost. Crafting can also return a surplus of a material, and a 3x3 or 2x2 block made from one material can be unpacked back into its parts.

The pack works as a datapack, so the server loads it and players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest builds target 26.3. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Balanced crafting results

    Crafting outputs are scaled to their inputs, with some loss accepted in line with what players usually expect.

  2. Unpackable storage blocks

    Blocks built from a single material in a 3x3 or 2x2 grid can be unpacked back into their parts.

  3. Blast furnace recipes

    Added smelting recipes cover raw gold, copper and iron, and smelting a raw block gives the same experience as smelting its nine items one by one.

  4. Brewing with full items

    Brewing recipes accept full blocks, tools and armor as ingredients.

  5. Stonecutting and trapdoors

    Copper and metal trapdoor recipes were adjusted, and chain outputs for copper and iron doors were changed so they match their inputs.

What the author says

This pack refines and adds various crafting, blasting, and stonecutting recipes to provide a balanced, convenient, and consistent crafting experience. This should work on the latest version of Minecraft, even though the pack says it's out of date. It's just complaining that I haven't updated the pack number. The…
