[Crafting] More Copper Recipes
More Copper Recipes changes the crafting costs of a few vanilla blocks so that copper ingots can replace iron and gold in them.
What it does
The pack swaps some ingredients in crafting recipes: hoppers take two copper ingots and three iron ingots, powered rails take copper ingots where vanilla uses gold ingots, and crafters take copper ingots in place of iron ingots. The aim is to give copper a few more uses in redstone and transport builds without changing anything else in the game.
The pack is distributed as a data pack that the server loads, so only the server needs it for the recipe changes to apply. Players join without installing anything, and the server owner decides whether to use it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest build, 1.1.5, is listed for 1.21.10, and the project covers 28 release versions across the 1.17 – 1.21.10 range.
The pack is set up to stay compatible with Advanced Recycling, which covers smelting recipes for powered rails and gold. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Copper hoppers
Hoppers are crafted from two copper ingots and three iron ingots instead of five iron ingots.
Copper powered rails
Powered rails take copper ingots where the vanilla recipe asks for gold ingots.
Copper crafters
Crafters are crafted with copper ingots in place of iron ingots, which lowers the iron cost of automated setups.
Compatible with recycling
