FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.16 – 1.21.8

What it does

Saddles and name tags can be crafted with copper, and the recipes are shapeless. The 1.21.8 build replaces the vanilla iron and copper recipe. Installing the mod on a server is enough to change crafting for every player, while the client needs nothing extra. Files cover 1.16 – 1.21.8 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a datapack version for Minecraft 1.16 that uses a Forge tag.

Key features

  1. Copper saddle recipe

    Saddles and name tags can be crafted from copper, adding a cheaper route to these items.

  2. Shapeless recipes

    The added recipes are shapeless, so ingredients can be placed in any slot of the crafting grid.

  3. Balanced recipe changes

    The 1.21.8 build replaces the vanilla iron and copper recipe, and other mods can use copper in similar recipes.
