About this Mod

DESCRIPTION

This datapack simply makes the new bamboo wood from 1.20 behave like other wood types, while also balancing the number of sticks you can get from the same amount of materials.

The list of features are:

Bamboo logs can be smelted into charcoal
1 bamboo log can be crafted into 4 planks (instead of 2)
2 bamboo planks can be crafted into 2 sticks
4 bamboo can be crafted into a single plank

(go to the gallery tab for images)

INSTALLATION GUIDE

go to your saves folder located here on Windows:

C:\Users(your name)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

put the zipped file in the data packs folder, and either restart your world or execute /reload

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

the new plank recipe buff is balanced by nerfing the stick recipe as you get 4 sticks from 1 bamboo log and 4 sticks from 9 bamboo as well
