by DataGhost57

String Dispenser Recipe changes the dispenser crafting recipe so a single string replaces the bow.

What it does

The mod swaps the bow in the dispenser recipe for one piece of string, so players can craft dispensers without first making a bow. The change affects crafting only and leaves the dispenser's behavior unchanged. Crafting ten dispensers no longer takes the time spent gathering and assembling bows first.

Key features

  1. String-based recipe

    The dispenser recipe uses one piece of string where the vanilla recipe uses a bow.

  2. Faster dispenser crafting

    Ten dispensers can be crafted without the extra work of making bows first.

  3. Recipe-only change

    Only the crafting recipe is altered, so the dispenser block and its behavior stay as in vanilla.
