QoL Crafting
by CooledBeans
QoL Crafting adds recipes for woodcutting full blocks, slabs and carpets, smelting raw ore, and other crafting shortcuts that the vanilla game lacks.
What it does
Players gain new crafting recipes and a few changed ones. Stonecutters can cut wood items, and Sandstone, Red Sandstone, Sand and Red Sand each have a stonecutter recipe. Decorative blocks such as banners and concrete can be crafted in more combinations, and candles can be dyed or redyed.
Several recipes make bulk crafting cheaper. Four chests can be crafted once from logs, dispensers can be crafted in bulk from droppers, string and sticks, and chest boats can be crafted in bulk from planks and chests. Raw ore blocks smelt at one ninth of the usual speed.
The mod keeps the vanilla feel and balance. Its advancements and recipes appear in the recipe book without a separate menu. It runs on the server, and the server requires it, while clients may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 32 release versions, 1.14.1 – 1.21.4. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so the mod is not open source.
