Nbt Crafting
by Siphalor
Nbt Crafting lets server owners define recipes in JSON data that match on NBT data in their inputs and outputs, extending the vanilla datapack recipe system.
What it does
Recipes are written as JSON files and can add new brewing recipes, cauldron recipes and anvil recipes. Because the mod reintroduces a data attribute, a recipe can require a specific NBT value on an ingredient and produce an output with chosen NBT. Everything stays visible in the vanilla interface, and the recipe book shows the output amount for the recipes the mod adds. The mod also provides its own scripting language for more complex behavior, and the project wiki explains the features in more detail.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across 15 release versions 1.15 – 1.19.2, with snapshot builds also published. Nbt Crafting requires Fabric API. Its license is Apache License 2.0, and the mod is open source. Minor cosmetic issues can appear on the client, and the author asks people who run into bugs to open an issue on GitHub.

Use cases
