Vasi's Quality of life recipes
by TuraVasile
Vasi's Quality of life recipes adds a set of crafting and smithing recipes for Forge 1.20.1, covering sponge, trident parts, smithing templates, heart of the sea and name tags.
What it does
Players get new crafting recipes for items that are otherwise hard to obtain or assemble. The recipes cover a sponge, the head and handle parts used for a trident, a trident recipe, a heart of the sea recipe and a name tag recipe. A blank smithing template and a netherite smithing template recipe are included as well, so smithing upgrades can be made without finding the template in the world.
The mod is aimed at players who want the game to feel less tedious without adding new items, blocks or mechanics. Its scope is small: it only adds recipes, so existing progression and worldgen are left alone. The author describes it as a simple collection and states that it can be included in modpacks, with credit to the author.
Only the Forge loader is supported, and only for 1.20.1. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0.2, published 2025-06-24 after a first release on 2025-05-26. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Sponge recipe
A crafting recipe for sponge is added, giving another route to a block that is usually found only in ocean monuments.
Trident parts and recipe
Separate recipes for a trident head and a trident handle are added, along with a full trident recipe built from them.
Smithing templates
A blank smithing template and a netherite smithing template recipe let players craft the templates directly.
Heart of the sea and name tag
Crafting recipes for a heart of the sea and a name tag are added to the game.

Use cases

How it compares
No Smithing Template is a Forge 1.20.1 mod with the same client and server environment, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only and open source. NeoneX is a Forge mod for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6, not 1.20.1, and is not open source. No More Lost Tridents is server-side only and covers 1.20 – 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge; it is not open source. Vasi's Quality of life recipes differs by targeting only Forge 1.20.1 and by adding recipes alone.
