FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.01.21 – 26.2

What it does

The recipes cover a handful of items that servers often use in combat-focused play: golden apples, experience bottles and enchanted golden apples. Each recipe is made cheaper than its vanilla cost, so a player can rebuild a stock of these items quickly after a fight. Only a few recipes are changed or added, and the rest of crafting stays as it is in the game.

Because the mod affects crafting results, it is mainly used on servers that want to shorten the time players spend regearing between rounds. The server must run it, while a player who joins can leave it out and still play normally. The latest build, 1.2+mod, targets 26.2 and is dated 2026-04-11.

The mod is listed for 16 release versions, including 1.21.11, 26.1 and 26.1.2. Only the server has to run it, so players join without installing anything. It can also be used as a data pack on servers that prefer that form. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

Cheaper golden apples

The recipe for experience bottles is changed to reduce the cost of making them.
Enchanted golden apples
Enchanted golden apples are made from a modified recipe, aimed at restocking quickly on a server.
Limited recipe set
Only a few PVP-related recipes are touched, so the rest of crafting is unchanged.
