by laman28

UsefulRecipes adds a small set of extra crafting recipes to a survival world through a data pack.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 or later1.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

The mod ships as a data pack that adds some useful recipes for survival play, including an enchanted golden apple and an elytra recipe. Its recipe files sit under data/usefulrecipes/recipes, so the additions appear in the normal crafting system without any new blocks or items. It works on single-player worlds and on Minecraft Survival servers. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.4, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Enchanted golden apple recipe

    A crafting recipe for the enchanted golden apple is added, so players can make it at a crafting table.

  2. Elytra recipe

    An elytra recipe is added as a crafting option alongside the existing items.

  3. Plain data pack format

    The additions are plain recipe files that server owners can read, copy or remove from the data pack.

Questions

Does UsefulRecipes need to be installed on the client?

No. Either side can run the data pack, and the client can skip it, so only the server needs it to add the recipes.
