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
Cheaper building blocks
Buttons, doors, trapdoors, signs and ladders need fewer planks or sticks than in vanilla, so wood goes further.
Material-based recipes
Blocks such as wool, cobweb, logs, clay, quartz, honeycomb and melon give back their matching materials.
Craftable horse items
Saddles, name tags and horse armor can be crafted rather than found only in the world.
Ice recipes
Blue ice and packed ice craft into packed ice and ice, keeping ice materials usable in building.
