NewCraft
by Heikos
NewCraft adds crafting recipes for items that vanilla Minecraft does not let players make, such as bells, saddles, totems and chainmail armor.
What it does
Players can make a range of items they otherwise could not craft, covering gravel, cobwebs, nametags and other everyday materials, and the mod reports more than 260 new recipes in total. The server must run the mod, while a client may leave it out and still join. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, across 33 release versions 1.16 – 1.21.11, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Because the recipes are additions rather than changes to existing items, a world keeps its normal progression. NewCraft is also available as a data pack for server platforms that do not use a mod loader.
Key features
Bell crafting
Bells become craftable from ordinary materials, so players no longer need to find one in the world.
Saddles and nametags
Saddles and nametags join the list of craftable items, making it easier to outfit mounts and name animals.
Chainmail armor set
Chainmail armor pieces can be crafted, adding a set that is not part of the standard recipe list.
