DripStone Recipe FIX
by PaperStream
DripStone Recipe FIX gives Dripstone Blocks a reverse recipe, so a stack of Pointed Dripstone can be crafted back into full blocks.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft only crafts Dripstone Blocks into Pointed Dripstone. This addition supplies the missing return trip: placing a Dripstone Block anywhere in a crafting grid yields 4 Pointed Dripstone, a direct inverse of the vanilla recipe, so no items are created or lost. The recipe is shapeless and appears in the recipe book once the player has either item.
The mod is published in three flavours that do the same thing, one for each kind of setup. The Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod runs on the server, and clients may also install it. The server plugin works on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia and Sponge. A data pack covers everything else. Pick whichever fits the server. The mod requires no other mods, and all three flavours are published for 1.18 – 26.3.
Key features
Reverse crafting recipe
Four Pointed Dripstone turn back into a Dripstone Block in a shapeless recipe, closing the gap left by vanilla.
Plugin configuration
The server plugin adds a little more control over the recipe, and its messages can be rewritten in config.yml with colour codes.
Single data pack file
The data pack ships as one file that spans the full range of supported releases through pack overlays.
Opt-out usage metrics
The server plugin sends anonymous statistics to bStats, and setting the metrics option to false in config.yml turns it off.

Use cases
Reclaiming stacks

Who it’s for: Server owners running Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia or Sponge will find the plugin build suited to their setup. Owners of Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt servers can use the mod, and data pack users can apply the datapack without a loader.
