Ez recipes
by PawKel
Ez recipes lets a server owner write crafting recipes as JSON files, and it ships with two of them already in place.
What it does
Once installed in the mods folder of a Fabric server, Ez recipes creates a config folder named easierrecipes/recipes on first launch. Each recipe is a JSON file in that folder. The two defaults are ez gaps.json, which makes a golden apple with a simpler recipe, and ez webs.json, which makes cobwebs with a simpler recipe. Either file can be removed if the server owner does not want it, and new recipes follow the same format.
Each recipe file lists its ingredients and its result by item name. The layout is a grid of three rows, and empty slots are written as air, so a recipe reads like the shape it makes in the game. Changes take effect with a command, so the server does not have to be restarted after editing a file. The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it, and the MIT License covers the code, which is not open source. Files are published for 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest, across 1.21.9 – 26.1.2.
Key features
Custom crafting recipes
Server owners add recipes as JSON files, naming the ingredients and the result item for each.
Two default recipes
A golden apple recipe and a cobweb recipe are included, and each default can be deleted from the config folder.
Three-row grid layout
Recipes use the same three-row shape as the game grid, with air marking empty slots.
Reload with a command
A command applies recipe changes while the server runs, without a restart.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Simpler early crafting
A server can keep the golden apple and cobweb recipes or swap them for its own, which suits servers that want a different early progression.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want to change crafting recipes without writing a datapack or Java code.
