Create: Re-Packager Fix
by SOLR98
Create: Re-Packager Fix is a server-side patch for Create that closes a duplication exploit in the Re-Packager block, and only that exploit.
What it does
The mod changes PackageRepackageHelper.repackBasedOnRecipes through a Mixin. Before any material is consumed, a two-phase check confirms that every recipe ingredient is present in the inventory with an exact NBT match. Only after the whole round is confirmed does the patch remove the materials in one uniform deduction. If anything is missing, the round is aborted and nothing is taken from the player.
The original code could generate a package entry with a quantity of zero when the inventory could not support even one craft, and the packager still ejected a physical package that held a full copy of the recipe materials, which allowed those materials to be duplicated. A zero-count guard now stops that path. Normal packaging and re-packaging with sufficient stock, multi-recipe orders and returned materials keep vanilla behavior.
Create: Re-Packager Fix needs Create. It is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on the server alone, so clients join without installing it. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Two-phase validation
The patch verifies every recipe material before removing any of them, so a failed round leaves the inventory untouched.
Zero-count guard
A package with a quantity of zero is never generated, which closes the route that produced copies of recipe materials.
Partial consumption prevented
Materials a player has already invested are no longer lost when an order cannot be fully fulfilled.
Targeted Mixin patch
The change applies only to the recipe-based re-packaging method, leaving other packaging logic as it was.

What the author says
A server-side fix mod for Create that patches a duplication exploit in the Re-Packager. When a fragmented package carries insufficient inventory to fulfill the crafting recipes of its order, the Re-Packager still generates a package entry with a quantity of 0 — which the packager's output logic then ejects as a real…
