Random Crafts
by weyneee
With Random Crafts, the crafting recipes of a new world are shuffled into a generated datapack, so each world gets its own set of recipes.
What it does
The mod is server required and client optional. Servers generate a standard datapack when a new world is created, with randomized crafting recipes tied to the world seed. Players who join without the mod still receive the datapack, so a client can connect without installing anything. Recipes change only when the datapack is generated, and the server must run the mod to create them.
Randomization is controlled rather than fully chaotic, which keeps the game balanced. A Randomize Crafting section in the world creation screen and the rc command manage the generation settings. In Survival, only the crafting table recipe is available at the start, and the RC Dynamic Recipe Discovery gamerule, introduced in v1.6.0, decides how further recipes become available. The rc clear command or deleting the randomcrafts datapack restores vanilla recipes after a reload.
Random Crafts requires Architectury API on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. On Fabric and Quilt it also needs the Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL). The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Randomized recipes per world

Dynamic recipe discovery
A gamerule governs how further recipes become available, starting from the crafting table recipe alone in Survival.

How it compares
Minecraft, But a Random Effect Happens Every 30 Seconds (Chaos) is also server-side, with a client that is optional, but it is licensed as All rights reserved and is published only for 1.21.11. RandomAll works with a server alone, so players need nothing, and it is under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.21 – 1.21.11. Random Chunks needs both the client and the server, and it is not open source, targeting 1.20.4 – 26.1.2.

What the author says
When you create a new world, this mod generates a datapack with randomized crafting recipes and automatically applies it. The randomization isn’t completely chaotic — it’s slightly controlled to keep the game balanced (_you can configure this_).
