Wooly String
Wooly String lets players craft wool string from four wool blocks of one colour, placed anywhere in the crafting grid.
What it does
The mod adds a recipe that turns four wool of the same colour into wool string. The recipe works in the regular crafting menu, so no station or extra item is needed. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file.
Key features
Wool string recipe
Four wool blocks of one colour craft into wool string in the standard crafting menu.
Any grid placement
The four wool blocks can sit anywhere in the crafting grid, not only in a fixed shape.
Colour-matched output
The string takes the colour of the wool used, so each dye colour produces its own string.

What the author says
Adds the ability to craft wool of any colour into 4 string by putting it anywhere in the crafting menu. Inspired by Boffy forgetting that you can make wool with 4 string. Hopefully he enjoys having his mistake immortalised on the internet!
