Modded Recipes Plus (Vanilla Edition)

by NightML Studios

Modded Recipes Plus (Vanilla Edition) adds vanilla-style crafting recipes that let players craft items earlier in a playthrough.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT License1.21 – 1.21.8

What it does

The mod ships as a data pack that adds quality-of-life crafting recipes in the style of vanilla, such as getting string or scaffolding without a bamboo forest. It is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.8 and are released under the MIT License, so the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Data pack recipes

    Adds vanilla-like crafting recipes packaged as a data pack, so no new items or blocks are introduced.

  2. Easier early crafting

    Makes some materials such as string and scaffolding craftable without first locating a bamboo forest.

  3. Subtle progression

    Lets players craft low-durability elytra before reaching the End, adjusting pacing without changing core game balance.
