What it does

The content ships as a datapack that adds new recipes in the style of vanilla Minecraft, so the game still feels familiar. Crafting some items becomes a bit easier than in the base game. The mod is for server owners, and the author has collected recipe ideas for future datapack updates. Builds cover Fabric and Forge across 11 release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.6, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Vanilla-themed recipes

    New crafting recipes follow the look and logic of the existing vanilla recipe set.

  2. Easier crafting

    Certain items take fewer steps or cheaper materials to craft than they do in the base game.

  3. Datapack delivery

    The additions are packaged as a datapack, so they load without changing the game's core behavior.
