Better Wood Crafting
by PerryRat
Better Wood Crafting changes the vanilla wood recipes so that fewer planks are used per crafted block.
What it does
The mod gives trapdoors, doors, slabs, stairs, fences, fence gates, buttons, pressure plates and signs recipes that yield more pieces from the same planks. One plank makes six trapdoors where vanilla needs six planks for two. Each recipe is meant to reduce wood loss during building. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is released under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Efficient trapdoor recipe
One plank yields six trapdoors, compared with two trapdoors from six planks in vanilla.
More slabs and stairs per plank
Three planks produce six slabs, and six planks produce four stairs, using less wood per piece.
Recipes for the full wood set
Doors, fences, fence gates, buttons, pressure plates and signs all receive revised recipes that cut plank use.

Recipes are more efficient than in the crafting table → Example: 1 plank = 6 trapdoors instead of 6 planks for 2 trapdoors
