Block Drop Changes
Golden Tools Mechanics
Golden tools now have the "Silk Touch" effect by default. For example, if you break a
Grass Block with a
Golden Shovel, it will drop the block itself.
Important!
This feature is implemented via loot table conditions. It will only work with vanilla blocks. Adding support for any modded blocks at the datapack level is impossible.

Miscellaneous Changes

Modularity
The project features a convenient module system. If you do not need certain recipes or entire crafting categories, you can easily remove them by simply deleting the corresponding folder from the archive.
Structure
Folder Structure:
The internal structure is identical for both the recipes folder (recipe) and the conditions for unlocking them in the recipe book (advancement/recipes). The root folders are categorized by the method of item creation:
crafting—
Crafting Table and the inventory crafting grid;smelting—
Furnace;blasting—
Blast Furnace;stonecutting—
Stonecutter;smithing_transform—
Smithing Table.
Inside these folders, files are divided into logical categories. For example, the crafting/wood_types/acacia folder contains all alternative crafts using
Acacia Planks and
Acacia Logs.
File Naming Convention:
All file names follow a logical pattern: [what_item_is_crafted]_[from_what_material].json.
For example, the path data/ccore/recipe/crafting/utility/chest_logs.json means crafting a
Chest directly from
Logs.
Instructions for removing modules (using the stonecutter as an example)
If you want to completely disable all new recipes for the
Stonecutter, follow these steps:
- Open the
.jaror.zipfile of the datapack using any archiver (e.g., 7-Zip or WinRAR). - Navigate to the path
data/ccore/recipe/stonecuttingand delete thestonecuttingfolder. - Navigate to the path
data/ccore/advancement/recipes/stonecuttingand delete thestonecuttingfolder as well (this will prevent error logs from appearing in the server console). - Run the
/reloadcommand in-game or restart the server to apply the changes.

CraftCore server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is CraftCore compatible with datapack and fabric and forge?
CraftCore officially supports datapack, fabric, forge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with CraftCore – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CraftCore consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
