oldcraftallow plus
OldCraftAllow Plus restores crafting recipes that Minecraft once had and later removed, and adds a few survival recipes that the vanilla game never included.
What it does
Several recipes the game removed over time return with this mod, among them chainmail armor, enchanted golden apples, horse armor that fits horses, nether wart blocks, and a two-way swap between string and spider webs. Other recipes that were dropped over the years are restored in the same way, and a set of extra survival recipes sits alongside them.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin required on Fabric. Its files target 1.12.2 – 26.3 across 41 release versions, and snapshot builds are published as well. Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia are also supported as server platforms, and a plugin version exists for them.
Key features
Restored classic recipes
Crafting recipes that existed in earlier Minecraft releases are added back, so those items can be made again in survival.
Chainmail and golden apples
Chainmail armor and enchanted golden apples can be crafted with the recipes this mod restores.
Horse armor crafting
Horse armor becomes craftable, letting players equip horses with armor they make themselves.
Extra survival recipes
Useful survival recipes that vanilla never offered are included alongside the restored ones.
Configurable recipe set
Server owners can configure which recipes are active, which helps when other mods add similar recipes.

Update: Although we hadn't initially planned to offer a plugin version, we're now launching support for it to improve efficiency! Ever wondered why some items in Minecraft cannot be crafted?
