Craftssentials
by doog
Craftssentials is a server-side collection of quality-of-life recipes for vanilla Minecraft, delivered as a datapack-style mod for 26.2.
What it does
Craftssentials adds a set of recipes that make common vanilla items easier to obtain and easier to use. Its recipes cover a golden apple variant, a potion-brewing ingredient, a pair of amethyst and deepslate blocks, two kinds of armor for animals and water mobs, and the unpacking of snow and ice blocks. The author credits the Vanilla Tweaks datapack as a source of part of the content.
The server must run the mod, and players may add it for extra features. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is also available as a data pack for server platforms. Files cover 26.2 only, with the latest build dated 2026-08-23, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.

A crafting recipe for the Notch Apple gives survival players a way to make the item without finding it.

Recipes for Dragon's Breath and Budding Amethyst add crafting routes for these items.
Reinforced Deepslate recipe
