Obvious-Recipes

by FOSSMan

Obvious-Recipes changes the Forge 1.12.2 crafting and smelting recipes so several vanilla results match what the items look like or contain.

What it does

The mod replaces a set of Minecraft recipes with ones that follow the logic of the items involved. Enchanted and normal golden apples are crafted from gold ingots and gold nuggets respectively. Wool yields 4 String, 8 Cobwebs come from 8 String and a Spider Eye, and a Nether Wart Block returns 9 Nether Warts. Smelting outputs also change, so Rotten Flesh smelted in a furnace gives Leather, and an Iron Door gives 6 Iron Ingots.

The recipe set also covers horse equipment and mob gear. An Iron Horse Armor requires 6 Iron Ingots and a Saddle, a Nametag is made from leather, an iron nugget and a feather, and a Totem of Undying takes Healing Potions, a Golden Helmet and a Gold Block. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. It runs on Forge for 1.12.2 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed.

Key features

  1. Corrected crafting recipes

    Golden apples, Wool, Cobwebs and Nether Wart Blocks use recipes that match the ingredients each item is made from.

  2. Altered smelting outputs

    Furnace results for items such as Iron Doors, Cauldrons, Buckets and Pressure Plates return a different number of ingots.

  3. Horse and mob gear recipes

    Iron and Gold Horse Armor, Saddles, Nametags and Mob Spawners follow revised crafting patterns.

  4. Leather armor and tool recipes

    Undamaged Leather Armor breaks back into leather pieces, and Wooden Tools return 2 Sticks when placed in the crafting grid.

  5. Totem of Undying recipe

    The Totem of Undying is crafted from Healing Potions, a Golden Helmet and a Gold Block.

What the author says

Obvious-Recipes adds a couple of recipes that just make sense. For example, 1 Nether Wart Block becomes 9 Nether Warts in crafting. Check the Gallery for the crafting recipes.
