More Crafting Recipes
by JovialDuck78
More Crafting Recipes gives players recipes for items that vanilla Minecraft leaves uncraftable or unobtainable, such as Elytra and chainmail armor.
What it does
Several items that normally come only from loot tables or are missing from the vanilla crafting system become craftable here, among them Elytra, chainmail armor and bedrock-reinforced deepslate. Recipes are meant for players who want more control over how they reach rare items, without changing the core feel of survival.
Smaller quality-of-life recipes sit alongside the rarer ones, including a route that turns rotten flesh into edible charred meat without the hunger effect. The mod also adds a set of endgame-tier recipes. It runs on NeoForge 1.21.4 – 1.21.6 and is licensed under the MIT License, but it is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Elytra recipe
Elytra can be crafted with a recipe instead of being found only in loot, giving players a route to flight.
Chainmail armor recipes
Chainmail armor pieces can be assembled at a crafting table, so the set is reachable early in a survival world.
Bedrock-reinforced deepslate
A recipe produces reinforced deepslate, an item that is unobtainable in vanilla survival.
Charred meat from rotten flesh
Rotten flesh can be smelted into edible charred meat that avoids the hunger effect.
