What it does

The mod backports recipes from previous versions, so items that were crafted in earlier releases can be made again, including the Name Tag. Items that were hard to craft before become available through recipes added on top of the current game. Because it is a datapack, it is loaded by the server and needs no install on the player side.

Key features

  1. Earlier recipes restored

    Crafting recipes from previous versions are added back to the current game, so older items can be made again.

  2. Name Tag recipe

    The Name Tag can be crafted using the recipe carried over from an earlier release.

  3. Simple datapack

    The content is a plain datapack that adds recipes without changing other gameplay systems.
