Recipe Reshaper
Recipe Reshaper is a Fabric and Quilt server-side utility that replaces groups of vanilla recipes with reworked versions through data packs.
What it does
Recipe reshapers are built-in data pack entries that swap whole categories of crafting recipes for altered ones, based on the originals. Several reshapers ship with the mod, including changes to 2x2 log recipes and to wooden slabs and stairs, and each one can be enabled or disabled with the standard datapack enable and disable commands. Players and server owners can also write their own reshapers as data packs.
The mod works on a dedicated server and in single-player worlds, since the changes live in the world's data packs folder. Its reshapers also fix several inconsistencies in vanilla recipes where edge cases break. Recipe Reshaper requires Fabric API, runs on Fabric and Quilt, and is not ported to Forge. The code is released under the MIT License, so anyone may port it. Files for 1.17.1 – 26.3 are published with the latest build for 26.3, dated 2026-09-27.

Use cases

A server owner can adjust crafting categories for every player by enabling or disabling reshapers in the world's data packs.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack makers who want to change vanilla crafting categories through data packs, without a client install.
How it compares
Better Stairs Recipes is also a Fabric and Quilt option for stair recipes, but it is released under the MIT License and published for 1.21 – 1.21.8, with a server required and client optional environment. No Recipe Book is client-side only, licensed as All rights reserved, and reaches 1.18 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge. Recipe Reshaper runs server-side only, so players join without installing it.

What the author says
Recipe Reshaper allows you to replace groups of recipes with new ones based on the originals. There's also fixed_inconsistencies which doesn't have any reshapers but changes some edge case vanilla recipes that break patterns (currently only changes the light weighted pressure plate recipe).
