Create: Special Recipes
by zokx
Create: Special Recipes adds crafting recipes for the Create mod that turn common materials into diamonds, emeralds, coal blocks and netherite scrap.
What it does
Create: Special Recipes is a server-side only addition for Forge that registers extra recipes, so the server alone needs it and players can join without installing anything. Its recipes cover coal, charcoal, tuff, diorite, andesite, netherrack and cobblestone as inputs, and produce outputs such as diamonds, emeralds, netherite scrap and coal blocks. The author lists the recipes added by the mod in the project documentation.
The file is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, as version 0.5 in the beta channel, released on 2026-02-28. The first release came out on 2026-02-23. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its author is zokx, and the author notes say more recipes are planned for future versions.
