Recipes You Need
Recipes You Need adds crafting and repair recipes that vanilla Minecraft does not include, such as anvil repairs for chipped and damaged anvils, stair and slab conversions, and a name tag recipe.
What it does
The mod targets the 1.21.1 game version on NeoForge and adds recipes the author considers important to the world. Its recipes cover two chipped anvils and two damaged anvils, repairing a chipped anvil and repairing a damaged anvil, a spore blossom recipe, a name tag recipe, and a way to combine two slabs into a full block. Stair recipes and conversion recipes, such as quartz block to quartz, are also included, and the author describes them as fairer than the vanilla set.
The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code publicly available. The author states that it adds no recipes beyond the listed set and will not add more in the future.

This Mod adds a variaty of new recipes, every recipe could exist in vanilla minecraft, but minecraft has not added those recipes yet, and probably wont add them in the future.
