DarkBindings
With DarkBindings installed, crafting recipes that vanilla Minecraft does not offer become available, such as ones for saddles, horse armor, bells and anvils.
What it does
DarkBindings adds custom crafting recipes on top of the vanilla set. The recipes cover items made from diamond, emerald, iron and other materials, and include saddles, horse armor, bells and anvils. Chainmail can be repaired in more ways than in the base game. Recipe files cover ancient debris, chipped anvils, black dye and black terracotta, so the new routes are set by data files rather than by code.
The mod is aimed at survival players who want more crafting paths and at server owners who want to tune which recipes exist. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Its builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the latest file for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge targets 26.2. The author also made DarkRPG, a full RPG experience with quests and RPG gameplay, which can be installed alongside it as a modpack.
