Uncraftable
by roteroam
Uncraftable makes a set of vanilla items impossible to obtain through their normal recipes, turning them into rewards that only exist in a restricted form.
What it does
The mod targets items that players would normally craft or smelt, such as gold ore, iron ore, a dead bush, a totem of undying and an enchanted golden apple, along with iron and golden horse armour and a name tag. For these items the usual route is removed, so they can no longer be made through standard means in survival play. It works on a Fabric install for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the Fabric loader is the only one with files.
Because the change touches recipes, it applies to every player who joins a server running the mod, and the server and clients both need it. Installation requires Fabric on the loader, with 1.20 and 1.20.1 as the listed game versions. Uncraftable is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source, and the latest file, 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, dates from 2023-08-14.
Key features
Removed normal recipes
Selected items lose their standard crafting or smelting recipes, so they cannot be made the usual way.
Covered vanilla items
The list covers gold ore, iron ore, dead bush, totem of undying, enchanted golden apple, name tags and horse armour.
Horse armour changes
Both iron horse armour and golden horse armour are affected, so horses lose a normal way to receive them.

Use cases
Restricted survival
A server owner can run a survival world where certain vanilla items are only found in the world, not crafted.
Challenge runs
Players who want a harder run can use the mod to remove shortcuts to the listed items.
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and players who want a survival experience where some vanilla items cannot be obtained through recipes, and it fits a Fabric setup for Minecraft 1.20.1.
How it compares
Craftable OP Apple is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 that runs client and server, with a MIT License and no open source status, and it works in the other direction by adding a recipe for the enchanted golden apple. Craftable Totem is server-side only for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, also under the MIT License, and it adds a recipe for the totem of undying rather than removing one. CraftingEnhanced is open source under the MIT License, server required and client optional, and it covers 1.13 – 1.21.11.
