Mo' Crafting Recipes

by ty1211ty

Mo' Crafting Recipes lets players craft items that vanilla does not offer, including the music discs and the saddle, from ores and resources they already have.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

The mod adds more than 76 crafting recipes for Minecraft, along with two new items, the Light Core and the Empty Disc. The Light Core is a key component used alongside the netherite smithing template to craft the Heavy Core. The Empty Disc is the base for crafting 17 music discs in the game.

Ore blocks for gold, iron, coal, lapis lazuli and diamond are included as recipe inputs, so resources can be turned into items that normally cannot be crafted. The mod suits players who want more control over how their resources are used. It is recommended alongside Enough Items, and the author notes that it was created with MCreator.

Mo' Crafting Recipes is published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.8. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Music disc crafting

    Players can craft the 17 music discs from an Empty Disc, so discs no longer depend on finding them in the world.

  2. Light Core and Heavy Core

    The Light Core is a new item that feeds into a netherite smithing template recipe for the Heavy Core.

  3. Saddle and other recipes

    Items such as the saddle, which normally cannot be crafted, gain recipes, adding over 76 new crafting paths.

  4. Ore recipe inputs

    Gold, iron, coal, lapis lazuli and diamond ores serve as inputs for the added recipes.
