PufferfishGaming's craft tweaks
PufferfishGaming's craft tweaks is a datapack that rebalances vanilla crafting recipes, and it can be loaded through Fabric, Forge or Quilt.
What it does
The datapack changes vanilla crafting so that items such as notch apples and tridents can be crafted, and it adds craftable enchanted golden apples. Players can also grind down armor and tools to recover material. The author describes further recipe changes for players to explore.
The package is built for the 1.20 game version only and is marked as a beta release. A server owner must install it for the recipes to apply, while players can join without it. The Apache License 2.0 covers the files, which are not open source. The first and latest release is dated 2024-06-13, and the same 1.0+mod for 1.20 file is published for each of Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with the datapack also offered for data pack servers.
Key features
Craftable notch apples
Vanilla crafting gains recipes for notch apples and tridents, which are not craftable in the unmodified game.
Craftable enchanted golden apples
Enchanted golden apples can be crafted as part of the datapack's rebalanced recipe set.
Armor and tool grinding
Armor and tools can be ground down to recover the materials they were made from.

The datapack can be updated or downgraded between its release files as the author publishes changes.

Use cases
Server recipe tuning

Who it’s for: Server owners who want rebalanced crafting recipes in a 1.20 world, and modpack builders who include recipe changes alongside other content.
How it compares
Hach's CraftTweaks works on the server alone, with clients free to skip it, but it is listed for 1.20.1 and uses a custom license that is not open source. Crafted Tweaks covers 1.20 – 1.20.2 under All rights reserved, and players can join without installing it. Enchant Tweaker is the open source option among these: it is released under the MIT License, works on Fabric and Quilt only, and is published for 1.19 – 1.20.4.
