One Time Crafting
by danZiKr1
With One Time Crafting installed, each recipe can be made only once per world, so players must choose carefully which items to build.
What it does
Each crafting recipe can be used a single time in a given world. After a player makes an item from a recipe, that recipe is marked as spent for the world and cannot be crafted again by any player on it. The mod works with the survival inventory crafting grid as well as the crafting table, so the limit applies to both.
The restriction suits survival worlds and multiplayer servers that want crafting to feel scarce. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds exist for Fabric only, covering game versions 26.1.2 – 26.2, and the code is under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
A reset command clears the used-recipe record, which lets players craft recipes again. Using that command requires cheats to be enabled in the world, so server owners control when the restriction can be lifted.
Key features
Single-use recipes
Every crafting recipe can be used once per world, after which it stays locked for all players.
Survival inventory support
The limit also applies to recipes crafted in the 2x2 inventory grid, not only at a crafting table.
Reset command
A command clears the record of used crafts so that all recipes become available again.
Cheat-gated reset
The reset command works only when cheats are enabled, which keeps it out of normal play.

Use cases
Scarcity on a survival server
Server owners who want resources to matter can use the mod so that each recipe is a one-off decision.
Who it’s for: Players who want crafting to be a limited choice rather than an unlimited action, and server owners who run survival or challenge-style worlds.
How it compares
No Crafting Table is server-side only and built for 1.21.8, so players join without installing it, while One Time Crafting needs both sides for 26.1.2 – 26.2. No Crafting Table Challenge is server-side only for 1.21.4 and is also under All rights reserved. Day By Day is a client and server mod for 26.2 under the MIT License and is not open source, like One Time Crafting.
