More Compatibility Variants (Nature's Spirit)
More Compatibility Variants, for Fabric and Quilt, lets Nature's Spirit wood types be crafted with the vanilla recipes that the other Variant mods expect.
What it does
Nature's Spirit wood types, such as Coconut, can be used in recipes that call for ordinary planks, so a player can craft the basic version of items the Variant mods add, like chest planks, a cactus fence made with sticks, or a campfire built from Nature's Spirit wood. The mod adds no new textures and no new blocks; it only fills the crafting gaps that appear when Nature's Spirit wood meets those Variant mods.
The mod is aimed at worlds that use several Variant packs at once, from More Chest Variants and More Stick Variants to the feeding trough and woodcutter packs. It also covers LieOnLion's and Pnku's vanilla-based mods, including Nemo's Campfires. A full list of the supported mods is published on pnku.de. Players who want nicer chests and barrels can pick whichever Variant mod they prefer, with the crafting fixed in the background.
Nature's Spirit must be installed, since it is the required dependency that supplies the wood types. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Quilt, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with snapshot builds not listed.

What the author says
Using Nature's Spirit Coconut wood with More Crafting Tables results in sadness... This mod resolves the problem by making sure that you can still craft the vanilla recipes with Nature's Spirit woods even if you have the cool variants.
