Expensive Bundles

by Dashy22

Expensive Bundles raises the crafting cost of the bundle item, so a bundle now takes 6 leather and 2 string instead of the vanilla recipe.

What it does

The mod is a simple data pack that changes the bundle recipe to 6 leather and 2 string. Bundles remain craftable, but they cost more material than in vanilla. The change is applied on the server, so only the server needs the data pack installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for 1.21.2 – 26.2, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Higher bundle cost

    Bundles are crafted from 6 leather and 2 string, a heavier recipe than the default one.

  2. Data pack delivery

    The change is shipped as a data pack, so it can run on a loader or on a plain data pack setup.

  3. Recipe shape kept

    The bundle keeps its usual crafting layout, with only the ingredient amounts changed.
