Craft Nest
by 3lbash3
Craft Nest adds crafting recipes for items that vanilla Minecraft does not let players craft, such as saddles and obsidian.
What it does
Craft Nest opens recipes for items that cannot be crafted in the base game, including saddles, obsidian and other special items. The recipes are meant to follow a logical, survival-friendly pattern rather than making everything available at once. It runs on Forge only and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
Previously uncraftable items
Saddles, obsidian and other special items gain crafting recipes that vanilla Minecraft does not provide.
Balanced recipes
Recipes are built to fit survival progression, so a crafted item still requires materials gathered in play.
Lightweight design
The author describes the mod as lightweight and compatible with most other mods.

What the author says
Craft Nest makes Minecraft crafting more immersive and realistic. Many items in vanilla Minecraft cannot be crafted at all — such as Saddles, Obsidian, and other special items. With Craft Nest, these limitations are removed through logical and balanced crafting recipes that fit naturally into survival gameplay.
