More Reasonable Recipes

by MangoJellyPudding

More Reasonable Recipes changes how several vanilla crafting recipes yield and combine materials, as a datapack that works across Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later1.20 – 26.2

What it does

The datapack replaces parts of the vanilla crafting system with recipes that use materials more evenly. Stairs are crafted from fewer blocks in a compact 2×2 grid, a sign uses one wooden slab and one stick, and carpets are made from two wool blocks for a larger yield. Glass panes come out at twelve per four glass blocks, and cut copper is crafted directly from copper blocks. A two-block-to-four-slab recipe is added, and vertical pairs of slabs can be uncrafted back into a full block.

Woodworking blocks gain stonecutter shapes for slabs, stairs and fences, and logs can be stripped of bark with a stonecutter. The mod also adds recipes meant to fill gaps in the existing set, so that functional blocks such as the Stonecutter and the Blast Furnace fit into the chain. The datapack is published for Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt alike, and it is also packaged as a standalone datapack. The server needs the mod, while a client can run without it.

Key features

  1. Compact stair recipe

    Four stairs are crafted from three blocks, while six stairs use a more compact arrangement in the grid.

  2. Balanced glass pane yield

    Twelve glass panes come from four glass blocks, a ratio meant to match the material cost.

  3. Stonecutter woodworking

    Wood blocks can be cut into slabs, stairs and fences with a stonecutter, and logs can be stripped of bark there too.

  4. Missing recipes added

    New recipes cover gaps in the vanilla set, including a two-block-to-four-slab recipe and uncrafting of vertical slab pairs.
