Old Recipes
by cherritrg.
Old Recipes brings back crafting recipes that Minecraft removed over its versions, so items once made from them become obtainable again.
What it does
The mod reimplements recipes that were taken out of Minecraft in earlier releases, and it also adds a set of extra recipes beyond the ones listed on the Minecraft Wiki. A separate friendlier variant changes some recipes so that the base experience stays intact. Netherite crafting requires a Smithing Template, which keeps those items obtainable. Both client and server need the mod, and Polymorph is an optional dependency. Files are published for NeoForge across 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, and the latest is 1.0.3 for 1.21.4.
Key features

Extra recipes
Additional recipes are included beyond those documented on the Minecraft Wiki, widening what players can craft.
Friendlier variant
A friendlier option alters some recipes so the base experience is not dramatically changed.

What the author says
Another mod... bringing back Minecraft's old or removed recipes! "Normal" versions don't care about Minecraft's gameplay and could make items useless or unobtainable through some recipes. No extra recipes have been added apart from the listed ones on the Minecraft Wiki.
