Iron Fixed
by ElmoBear02
Iron Fixed changes the crafting recipes of iron items so they follow the same patterns as their wooden counterparts, and adds a few extra iron blocks.
What it does
Several iron items in vanilla Minecraft were crafted differently from the wooden versions of the same blocks. Iron Fixed brings those recipes into line, so an iron trapdoor, bars, bucket, nugget or ingot is made the way a player would expect from the wood equivalent. Players who want the vanilla recipe layout unchanged will find the difference noticeable.
The mod also adds a set of extras built around iron: a metal workstation, a ladder, a fence, a gate, a sign and a hanging sign, along with bar variants. These placeable blocks and items fill gaps left by the vanilla iron set. The mod is built for NeoForge and is published only for 1.21.1.
Installation is the same on every server and client. Only the client and server pairing matters here, and the code is licensed under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.
