NoCraft
by humbertoccs
NoCraft stops the 2x2 inventory grid and the 3x3 crafting table from making new items, so players must find or trade for what they use.
What it does
The mod disables crafting in the player's inventory and at the crafting table, so only items naturally generated in the world can be used. It is meant for players who want a challenge and prefer to rely on what they find, such as farms and buildings they come across. Crafting can be switched off and back on through a command, and the option is stored in the mod's configuration.
NoCraft is a server-side only mod for Fabric, with files for 1.21.4 released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything.
