MoreCrafts
by Its_Padar
MoreCrafts is a server-side recipe pack that adds crafting, smelting and stonecutting recipes for vanilla items that are otherwise hard to obtain.
What it does
MoreCrafts works as a datapack and adds recipes for items like armour for horses, golden apples with enchantment, name tags, withered shrubs, fungus blocks, glow lichen, glowstone powder and glowing ink. Some recipes target quality-of-life gaps, for example chainmail armour, while others make leather available by smelting rotten flesh. Concrete powder can be smelted back into its solid form, and cobblestone gains a stonecutter route from stone.
Only the server needs the datapack to apply its recipes, and players may add the mod on their side without gaining anything extra. Builds cover 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.1.1 published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt on 1.20.1. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Horse armour recipes
Horse armour can be crafted from ingredients that vanilla does not otherwise provide.
Enchanted golden apple recipe
Enchanted golden apples gain a crafting route alongside their vanilla obtain methods.
Smelting leather from rotten flesh
Rotten flesh smelts into leather, so leather comes from a common mob drop.
Concrete powder smelting
Concrete powder can be smelted back into solid concrete blocks.
Stonecutter cobblestone route
Cobblestone can be produced from stone at a stonecutter.
