CraftCore
by iluxa69
CraftCore changes how recipes behave in crafting, smelting, blasting, stonecutting and smithing, and rebalances the output counts of many vanilla recipes.
What it does
The mod adds more than 700 logical recipes, including Stonecutter expansions and a set of vanilla rebalancing changes. Crafting Table, inventory crafting grid, Furnace, Blast Furnace, Stonecutter and Smithing Table all receive adjusted behavior. Items placed in the player's 2x2 grid are shifted one slot so they cannot be crafted from the inventory, and tools such as Copper and Diamond cannot be upgraded in the usual way. Damaged Anvil and Chipped Anvil recipes cover the iron anvil upgrades, and quick crafting covers tools, spears, planks and colored items. Waxed copper blocks keep their waxed state during crafting, and Glow Ink Sacs work like Glow Item Frame recipes.
Output quantities change for many vanilla recipes, for example Iron Trapdoor, Copper Trapdoor, Wooden Doors, Iron Door, Bamboo Hanging Sign and Bamboo Shelf. The complete list is too long for the catalog and is kept in the GitHub repository. Players who want certain recipes removed can delete the matching folder inside the data pack, under data/ccore/recipe or data/ccore/advancement/recipes, and the mod has a module system for that purpose.
CraftCore runs on Fabric and Forge and is published as a data pack. Files cover 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with snapshot builds published. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

What the author says
The item being upgraded is shifted by one slot to prevent crafting within the player's inventory (the 2x2 grid). Copper Diamond tools cannot be upgraded this way.
