What it does

The mod adds crafting recipes that produce ink sacs, glow ink sacs and black dye from vegan ingredients. Black dye can be made from charcoal, coal or coal blocks. Leather can be obtained through smelting, smoking or cooking rotten flesh, and string can be made from wool or wheat. Honey bottles, flowers, sugar and water bottles can also feed the recipe chain, and honeycomb, honey and bone meal can be composted. Rabbit hide, paper, string and honeycomb are accepted for making leather.

The recipes are provided by a data pack, and the Craftable Vegan Ink Sacs pack works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3. The server must run the pack, while players may leave it out, so it works on the server alone. Latest files are 1.6+mod for 26.3, dated 2026-10-05.

Key features

  1. Vegan ink sac recipes

    Ink sacs are crafted from plant and mineral ingredients, so squid do not need to be hunted for them.

  2. Glow ink sacs

    Glow ink sacs combine glowstone dust or glow berries with leather and string in a recipe of their own.

  3. Black dye from coal and charcoal

    Charcoal, coal and coal blocks can each be turned into black dye through a dedicated recipe.

  4. Leather from rotten flesh and rabbit hide

    Leather is reachable through cooking routes from rotten flesh, and through rabbit hide, paper or honeycomb.

Use cases
