Recipe Tweaks

by iNkoR_the_2nd

Recipe Tweaks is a data pack that changes crafting recipes, and it is the only mod on this card's list of loaders that installs as a data pack instead of a jar.

What it does

The pack modifies recipes in the crafting system, so the changes apply to the crafting grid, furnaces and other recipe screens that a world loads. The author describes the goal as improving crafting, covering both items players never knew they lacked and items they already wanted. Because the pack only reads recipe files, the existing items keep their behavior and no new blocks or entities appear.

The mod runs on the server, so server owners install it in the datapacks folder of the world, and players may also add it to single-player worlds. Recipe Tweaks is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus as a data pack, and the files cover 1.18 – 1.21.11 with 1.6+mod for 1.21.10 as the latest build. The license is All rights reserved, so the pack is not open source.

The author's wiki lists the recipe changes, and the pack is credited to iNkoR_the_2nd, first published on 2024-03-25 and last updated on 2026-02-02. The data pack and the loader builds share one version number.

Key features

  1. Recipe changes

    Recipes in the crafting system are altered so that existing items can be made in new ways.

  2. Recipes for missing items

    Items that vanilla lacks a path to craft are given recipes, based on the author's list of things players tend to need.

  3. Recipes for wanted items

    Items players already want are given easier or alternative recipes, so they are no longer hard to reach.

  4. Wiki reference

    The author's wiki documents the changed recipes, so players can check each one before installing.

Use cases

Survival progression

Players in a survival world can reach certain items earlier through the altered recipes instead of waiting for later stages.

Server recipe changes

A server owner can add the pack to a world's datapacks folder so every player on the server gets the same crafting changes.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change crafting for everyone on a world, and players who prefer a datapack over a mod jar to get altered recipes.
