Crafting Reworked

by SDA studios

Crafting Reworked changes a set of vanilla recipes so that common items yield more logically and sticks, planks and logs turn into crafting results that follow from their material.

What it does

Crafting Reworked is a Fabric mod that reworks crafting recipes in Minecraft Java Edition while keeping the vanilla experience. Stair yields are improved, and one plank now makes four buttons, six planks make six doors, six planks make six trapdoors, and six planks plus a stick make six signs. Seven sticks make six ladders. Its aim is to make the crafting system feel more logical and to reduce unnecessary crafting frustration.

The mod also adds new recipes for wool to string, cobweb to string, logs to sticks, logs to chests, clay blocks to clay balls, quartz blocks to quartz, honeycomb blocks to honeycomb, melons to melon slices, skeleton skulls to bones, and blue ice to packed ice, while packed ice gives ice. Saddles, name tags and horse armor become craftable. The mod is a Fabric build for 1.20.1, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Client and server both need it, so a server and every player run it together.

Key features

  1. Cheaper building blocks

    Buttons, doors, trapdoors, signs and ladders need fewer planks or sticks than in vanilla, so wood goes further.

  2. Material-based recipes

    Blocks such as wool, cobweb, logs, clay, quartz, honeycomb and melon give back their matching materials.

  3. Craftable horse items

    Saddles, name tags and horse armor can be crafted rather than found only in the world.

  4. Ice recipes

    Blue ice and packed ice craft into packed ice and ice, keeping ice materials usable in building.
