Easy Recipes

by sleepkii

Easy Recipes adds crafting recipes that let players build and craft more efficiently from their inventory, on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

What it does

Easy Recipes adds a set of quality-of-life crafting recipes that work directly from the inventory. Stairs and slabs can be crafted back into their original blocks, so extra material is not wasted. A new trapdoor recipe uses two slabs instead of the original recipe, which yields six times more trapdoors per craft. New glass recipes reduce the need to collect extra sand.

The mod is aimed at players who build often and want to spend fewer resources on repetitive crafting. Simple tools can also be crafted from wood and stone directly in the inventory. The recipes are shipped as a data pack option as well, so servers can run them without installing a loader mod. Easy Recipes is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Files target the 1.20 – 1.21.10 range across 18 release versions, with 1.4.1+mod for 1.20.6 as the latest file on each loader, released on 2025-10-25. The server must run the mod, while clients may leave it out.

Key features

  1. Inventory crafting

    Several recipes can be crafted directly in the inventory without opening a crafting table.

  2. Stairs and slabs back to blocks

    Stairs and slabs can be crafted back into the original full block, recovering extra material.

  3. Cheaper trapdoors

    The trapdoor recipe uses two slabs and yields six times more trapdoors than the original recipe.

  4. Glass without extra sand

    New glass recipes let players produce glass without collecting more sand.
