modify vanilla
by mod-studio
modify vanilla changes a set of vanilla crafting recipes so that stone variants can stand in for cobblestone and saddles and horse armor are easier to obtain.
What it does
Stone variants such as andesite, granite and deepslate become interchangeable with cobblestone in crafting, which reduces the material lost when a recipe needs a specific stone. Redstone components and tools are affected in the same way. Saddles and horse armor gain logical recipes, so they no longer depend as heavily on chance during exploration.
Village management is also covered. Villager workstation blocks get simplified recipes, and armor trim templates become easier to acquire and duplicate in late-game gearing. Unordered crafting of common items is allowed, and the overall changes keep the original game's balance in place rather than adding new items.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for the single version 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file.
