Quality of Recipes [QoR]
Quality of Recipes [QoR] changes how a set of vanilla recipes work, so Minecraft's crafting system follows more common-sense logic.
What it does
Quality of Recipes is a Data pack that adds more than 90 recipes to the game, with the goal of removing repetitive grinding and filling gaps in vanilla crafting. Rare items that are normally hard to get can be crafted from realistic component combinations, and some items can be smelted back into their base ingredients through recycling. The changes are meant to stay balanced and do not alter the core progression.
The mod ships as a vanilla-friendly datapack for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Its recipes cover campfire and smoker processing, nature farming and green dye, and several specific cases such as smelting saplings, leaves and wheat, or crafting with dirt, bonemeal and wheat seeds. Because the server runs it, the environment is server required with client optional. Files target 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest build is 1.21.1 for 1.21.1.
