M' Special Recipes

by Maatsuki

M' Special Recipes adds vanilla-style spawn eggs, items and alternative crafting recipes through a data pack that Fabric, Forge and Quilt can load.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution 4.01.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

The data pack adds a large set of vanilla content: new spawn eggs, new recipes and new items. Its special items use vanilla functions, so each one behaves like the item it is based on. The author recommends giving a special item a different name in an anvil, because a renamed item can stop working as intended.

Several items also carry changed stats: explosion radius, knockback resistance and a 50% adjustment. The author notes that some behavior changes in this version. Installation needs a Fabric, Forge or Quilt loader. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out of their installs. Files cover 1.20 – 1.20.4 (5 release versions), with 1.0.2+mod for 1.20.4 as the latest build on each loader.

Key features

  1. New spawn eggs

    Spawn eggs for additional mobs are added, so they can be obtained without creative mode.

  2. Alternative recipes

    Several vanilla items gain an alternative crafting recipe, giving a second route to the same result.

  3. Special items

    Special items use vanilla functions and can be renamed, with the author recommending a distinct name on each.

  4. Updated textures

    Version 1.0.2 updates the item textures, including a revised key texture.
