Fatal's QoL Crafting
Fatal's QoL Crafting changes a set of vanilla crafting recipes so that some items cost less and some craft back into their source blocks, and it adds new recipes for stone types and ores.
What it does
Stair recipes return a larger batch than vanilla, and certain full blocks can be reduced back into their parts. Raw ore blocks can be smelted, and more stone types are used in recipes. The author describes the set as more balanced, with some items becoming easier to obtain, and the recipe list is documented on the project wiki.
The mod runs on the server and on every client that joins it, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.9, and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Its source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked.
Create: Fatal's QoL Crafting and Ad Astra: Fatal's QoL Crafting both require this mod, so it is the base layer their recipe changes sit on. Installation has no separate library dependency listed for it.
Key features
Stair and slab recipes
Stair recipes yield a larger batch than vanilla, and slabs can be recombined into full blocks.
Raw ore smelting
Raw ore blocks can be smelted, so bulk ore from mining converts without extra steps.
Quartz crafted back
Nether quartz can be crafted back into quartz blocks, reversing the usual one-way conversion.
Additional stone types in recipes
More stone types are accepted as ingredients in recipes that previously used only a few of them.

How it compares
Better Recipe Book is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.17.1 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so it changes only the recipe book screen. Better Stairs Recipes is server required with an optional client, not open source, and published for 1.21 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, so it only covers stair recipes. Uncrafting Recipes is server-side only, not open source, and covers 1.16.5 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, adding uncrafting rather than the changes listed here.
