About this Mod
About Datapack / Mod
Make Me Shapeless (MMS) is a datapack / mod that changes few vanilla recipes. It makes them shapeless and that allows you to craft them faster with shift-clicking and also craft them in the 2x2 inventory crafting space.
Recipes
This datapack / mod changes 14 recipes to their shapeless variant. If you think I should modify more recipes, contact me on the Discord, which you can find on the left panel.
Future datapack / mod support and backporting
This datapack / mod will be updated once every full release of Minecraft as soon as possible. I do not plan on backporting this datapack / mod, unless requested on Discord, but you can only request backporting to 1.20.x. I won't be backporting to older versions.
Compatibility with mods or plugins
If you know a mod or plugin that could use some shapeless recipes, let me know on the Discord and I will make an add-on (separate project in this case)!
