Recipe heavy core
by M7MDFT
Recipe heavy core is a NeoForge server mod that makes the Heavy Core item craftable with a simple recipe, so players can obtain it without other means.
What it does
Heavy Core is normally out of reach for survival play, and this mod gives it a crafting recipe instead. Players who want the item can build it at a crafting table, and the rest of vanilla gameplay stays as it was. Nothing else in the game is altered, and the mod changes no mechanics beyond that recipe.
The mod runs on a server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is built for NeoForge 1.21.1, with a single file, 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-07-18. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source. The author notes that later updates may add optional recipe configurations, but no such option exists in this release.
