EasyDiscs
by YoshiAlfie
EasyDiscs adds a Plain Disc item and dye-based crafting recipes that turn it into creeper-dropped music discs, for Fabric on 1.21.1.
What it does
A new item called the Plain Disc is craftable from two iron nuggets and two ink sacs. Players then combine a Plain Disc with one of nine dyes, including yellow, lime, orange, red, green, purple, magenta and black, to craft the matching music disc. Each disc is one the player can otherwise obtain only from creeper drops in vanilla play, so the recipes offer a route to them without waiting for a drop.
The mod is a small addition meant for vanilla-style survival worlds and for servers that want music discs available through crafting. Because it is a Fabric mod built for 1.21.1, it installs without any other library, and it needs to be present on both the client and the server. The license is CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain, though the project is not open source in the usual sense.
Key features
Plain Disc crafting
Two iron nuggets and two ink sacs craft the Plain Disc, the base item for every disc recipe in the mod.
Dye-based disc recipes
Combining a Plain Disc with a specific dye produces the music disc that matches that dye.
Nine disc colors
Yellow, lime, orange, red, green, purple, magenta and black dyes each map to their own music disc.
Creeper disc alternative
Discs usually dropped by creepers become reachable through the recipes, so a player does not need to wait for a drop.
