Enhanced Recipes
by jeppssond01
Enhanced Recipes adds bulk-crafting and cheaper recipes for common blocks and items, such as stone variants, iron blocks and wooden planks, so players craft more from less material.
What it does
Several vanilla recipes are replaced or added so that one input yields more output. Wood logs produce 16 bowls or 32 torches, an iron block yields 27 iron doors or 9 bucket pairs, and gold blocks produce light weighted pressure plates. Stone, cobblestone, andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, deepslate and blackstone can also be turned into related blocks through new craftable recipes, and stained glass and regular glass work as ingredients for further recipes.
The mod is built for NeoForge and targets only 1.21.4, with a single release, 1.0.0, published on 2025-03-31. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. It sits in the Optimization category, with Game mechanics and Utility as secondary tags.
Key features
Bulk recipes for wood
Logs yield extra planks, sticks, chests, bowls and torches per craft, cutting the number of crafting steps.
Iron block recipes
Iron blocks produce iron doors, trap doors, heavy weighted pressure plates, cauldrons and buckets in larger batches.
Stone and deepslate recipes
Stone variants, tuff, deepslate and blackstone gain new recipes that use cobblestone and related blocks as inputs.
Bread and redstone recipes
Hay bales yield nine bread, and redstone blocks combined with iron produce compasses and pistons in bulk.

Use cases
Building with large quantities
Players who need many doors, planks or torches for a build can craft them with fewer blocks and fewer steps.
Early game resource management
Compact recipes stretch limited early materials such as wood and iron across more finished items.
Who it’s for: Players who collect large amounts of building materials and server owners who want fewer crafting steps in a shared world. Both sides need the mod for the new recipes to apply.
