Echo Shards
by BeansNToast
Echo Shards lets players copy music discs by placing one disc in the center of a crafting ring surrounded by eight echo shards.
What it does
The mod adds a crafting recipe that duplicates a music disc. A player puts a disc in the middle of a ring and eight echo shards around it, and the table returns the original disc together with a copy. The default output is two discs per craft, and the number of discs produced can be configured. The echo shards are consumed in the process, so the recipe works as a near-renewable way to obtain rarer discs, including the newest ones that come from the Deep Dark.
Echo Shards is a Fabric mod that runs on the client and the server, and it requires Fabric API. Shipped as a datapack, the duplication recipes are paired with a small initializer that registers one recipe for each music disc found on the server. A server plugin build for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur is also published. Files exist for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 across fourteen release versions, under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
