happyfied's Reimagined Crafting
by happyfied
happyfied's Reimagined Crafting changes the recipes for many vanilla items, so survival progression depends on crafting, smelting and smithing.
What it does
The pack replaces over 330 recipes and adds 23 new items, with the aim of making survival progression more demanding. Sugar cane, paper, honey and sugar yield less per craft, while ingots and nuggets use fewer materials. The Crafting Table, Enchanting Table and smithing recipe trees are reworked, and the crafting, smelting and smithing results are adjusted so that early materials carry more weight.
The pack also modifies the base models of the Structure Block, Jigsaw Block, Repeating Command Block and Command Block, and remembers how they are paired. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and as a Data pack. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source. Latest builds are 1.4.2 for 26.1.2, and files cover 1.21 – 26.1.2.
