Cheat-Recipe
Cheat-Recipe gives players alternative, simpler crafting recipes for items that are normally very hard to obtain, such as Bedrock Barrier Blocks, Debug Sticks and Nether Stars.
What it does
Some survival items take a long time to collect, and the mod replaces their vanilla recipes with shorter ones so they can be crafted. Items that are otherwise hard to get become craftable, and an extra recipe lets players craft Nether Stars. The recipes are meant to be cost-effective, so a player can reach a feature without grinding for it. The author created it for friends who wanted to avoid repetitive farming, and describes it as a small, hobby-scale utility.
The mod is for survival players who want more freedom in building without switching to Creative Mode, and for server owners who prefer that access to rare items is not tied to long farming. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, and the code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
