Expression: Easy Recipes
by toastydoll
Expression: Easy Recipes is a NeoForge equipment mod whose crafting, smelting and station recipes use only vanilla items, so Expression content can be made without other technology mods.
What it does
The recipes in Expression: Easy Recipes use only vanilla items and vanilla crafting, smelting and other station types, which removes the need for a separate technology mod to reach the Expression items. The mod is intended to be used alongside automation mods for Expression, and a companion pack named Expression: Addons is described as using the same vanilla-based approach for its own recipes.
Expression: Core is required and must be installed for the mod to load. Expression: Community is optional and adds further content. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, and the latest build is 1.0.2 for 1.21.1, dated 2026-09-08.
Key features
Vanilla-only crafting
Recipes use only vanilla items and vanilla crafting grid layouts, with no items from other technology mods.
Smelting recipes
Some Expression items can be produced through vanilla furnace-style smelting, using the same ingredients as crafting.
Station recipes
Additional recipes use other vanilla crafting stations, so the path to each item does not need a modded machine.
Automation compatibility
The recipes are meant for use with Expression automation mods, where machines produce items after the player has access to them.
