Jacob's Craftable Debug Stick
by jacob7870.
Jacob's Craftable Debug Stick gives players a crafting recipe for the debug stick, which the game otherwise reserves for creative mode and command-driven tools.
What it does
The mod registers a recipe that turns a few ordinary items into a debug stick. Its ingredients are two sticks, a sticky piston, two redstone dust, a redstone lamp and two stone, and the recipe is shapeless, so the slots can be filled in any order. Players who have worked through the recipe gallery can build the item in survival without relying on commands.
The mod is for survival worlds, creative testing and multiplayer servers where the debug stick should be obtainable by normal play. Its author notes thank players for their support. Installing it on a server and every client keeps the recipe consistent for everyone who joins.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 15 release versions and a 1.0.0 file for each loader dated 2025-12-19. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want the debug stick in survival and server owners who prefer crafting over granting items. It requires the matching loader and a game version within its range, and both the client and server must run it.
