Logical Stairs Crafting Recipe
by Kakaunet
Logical Stairs Crafting Recipe changes the vanilla stair recipe so that six blocks yield four stairs instead of the usual arrangement.
What it does
The mod is a datapack that replaces the crafting recipe for stairs. In the vanilla recipe, six blocks produce only four stairs. The modified recipe uses three blocks to produce the same four stairs, which means each stair costs fewer blocks. A full block counts as 4/4, a stair as 3/4, and the change shows as 12/4 for four stairs made from three blocks.
Because the change ships as a datapack, it adds no items or blocks to the game and only alters how stairs are crafted. The recipe changes on any world that loads the datapack, so server owners can add it without requiring players to install anything. Files are provided for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the datapack form is also available for server platforms.
Installation requires no other mod. The server must run the datapack to apply the recipe, while a player may add the mod on their own client and still craft the cheaper stairs there. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the mod is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.9 – 26.2, with 1.1.0+mod for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features
Cheaper stair recipe
Stairs are crafted from three blocks for four stairs instead of six, so a stair costs less material.
Datapack-based change
The recipe change is delivered as a datapack and does not add new items or blocks to the game.
Vanilla stair output kept
The modified recipe still yields four stairs, so the result matches the vanilla item and only the ingredient count differs.
