Sticky
by N_Blue
Sticky is a Fabric and Quilt game mechanics mod that changes how sticks and planks are crafted, with a fix for stick overproduction and new crafting recipes.
What it does
Sticky changes the crafting recipes so that oak planks can be turned into sticks, a route the vanilla game does not offer. A separate fix addresses the recipe that turned sticks back into wood planks, so a stack of sticks no longer leads to an unexpected loss of planks in a crafting grid. The mod is intended for players who find that sticks pile up faster than they are used.
Sticky also includes a set of test worlds that the author built while developing it. These are a superflat world, a one block world, and a stuck desert savanna, which can be used to check the recipes in isolation. Sticky runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Installation requires Fabric Loader 0.18.4 and Fabric API on Fabric; Quilt is also supported. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build, under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Stick surplus
A player whose storage fills with sticks can use the planks-to-sticks recipe in a different way and avoid the recipe loop.
Recipe testing
A mod developer can load the superflat or one block world to watch how the crafting recipes behave with nothing else around.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want a smaller, focused change to stick and plank crafting, rather than a full set of new items or structures.
