Less Tedium

Less Tedium adds more than 80 recipes for items that vanilla leaves uncraftable, including armor, weapons, bells, name tags, horse armor and monster spawners. The mod targets non-renewable items that take too long to gather and repetitive grinding that depends heavily on random drops. Rare items still require valuable materials, so progression through the parts of the game is kept while the most tedious steps are shortened.

Crafted end portal frames can be mined again with an iron pickaxe, and they stay mineable after the mod is removed or after a version change, because the data is stored in a coordinate-based file in the world folder. Spawn eggs are craftable for most mobs, with recipes built around each mob's characteristics and drops, and an egg recipe becomes available after killing the matching mob. Concrete can be made in bulk at a crafting bench from powder in the overworld, and several powder colors can be mixed directly.

Fabric API is required. The server and every player need the mod installed. Less Tedium is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and its Fabric files cover 1.21.1 – 26.3 across 16 release versions. Multiplayer compatibility is still a work in progress.
