Random Crafting
Random Crafting scrambles crafting recipes, so a stick can turn into an iron block or a netherite ingot can come from three cobblestones.
What it does
Crafting grids produce results that are not the usual ones, and the changes apply across the game rather than to a single item. The author describes it as a way to mess up recipes for fun, including as a prank on friends during live streams or modpack showcases. Players still finish the game with it installed, since the outputs are shuffled rather than locked. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the server needs it while players may leave it out, with 13 release versions covering 1.18 – 1.20.4.
Key features
Scrambled recipes
Crafting recipes are altered so familiar inputs can produce unexpected outputs.
Unlikely results
Combinations such as a stick to an iron block or three cobblestones to a netherite ingot become possible.
Prank-friendly setup
The changes suit live streams, modpacks and jokes among friends, and the game stays finishable.

What the author says
You may be able to get a stick from a iron block, or get a netherite ingot from three cobblestones. With this mod, you can fool your friends, make the game harder and more hilarious (maybe especially in live streams or modpacks?), and do whatever you want!
