Waste Not

by pythonnerd2000

Waste Not gives players a way to turn items they rarely use into something worth keeping, through new recipes, trades and a few mobs.

What it does

The mod adds uses for items that are mostly useless in vanilla play. Its stated purpose is to make those items useful, so fewer of them end up discarded. Recipes cover coral blocks, warped fungus concentrate, blurp concentrate and minecart crafting, and the author shows many of them in a gallery of images on the wiki.

Several items can be traded or traded in: trash can be exchanged for cash, and four soul sand or soul soil can be traded for an emerald. The mod also adds a sea beacon and places bundles in loot tables. Blurp mobs drop gold nuggets or gold ingots after eating fungus, and the mega blurp can open and close doors.

Waste Not runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for Minecraft 26.1.2, with Fabric 1.6 and NeoForge 1.3 as the latest builds. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
