old recipes 3
Old Recipes 3 brings back two crafting recipes that many players knew from earlier releases: the Enchanted Golden Apple and the classic Apple-to-Arrow recipe.
What it does
The Enchanted Golden Apple can be crafted from eight gold blocks around one apple, the original Notch Apple recipe that uses gold blocks instead of gold nuggets. The Apple-to-Arrow recipe turns an apple into arrows, and both recipes are included with the mod and need no configuration.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs to install it and players join without installing anything. Its footprint is small, and it only alters the two recipes it restores, so the rest of vanilla crafting stays untouched.
Old Recipes 3 is published for Forge and covers the single game version 26.2. Its latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.2, first published and last updated on 2026-07-30. The code is All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
