About this Mod

🔹 Vanilla-Friendly by Design

Marxx’s Recipes Plus is a survival-focused, vanilla-friendly mod that expands Minecraft without changing how the game feels.

The goal of this mod is simple:

Give Minecraft logical, immersive and balanced crafting recipes for items that normally have no real way to be crafted, while respecting vanilla progression.

No shortcuts.
No overpowered machines.
No modded-style complexity.

Everything fits naturally into survival gameplay.

🟠 Copper Tools & Armor

Minecraft has Copper… but no real use for it.

This mod adds:

Copper tools

Copper armor

Designed as an early-game tier:

Better than stone

Weaker than iron

Fully balanced for survival

Copper finally has a purpose without replacing iron.

🛠️ New Crafting Recipes (Vanilla Items)

This mod adds realistic and survival-friendly recipes for many vanilla items that normally:

Have no crafting recipe

Are locked behind RNG

Or are too tedious to obtain

All recipes are balanced and progression-aware.

Elytra (using a custom Elytra Wing item)

.

.

Trident

.

Sculk Sensor

Chainmail Armor (full set)

It's the same as any normal vanilla armor recipe but with iron chains

Trident Rework

The Trident is now craftable using custom components:

Trident Stick

.

Trident Heart

.

Trident Teeth

.

This keeps it rare, valuable, and lore-friendly.

🔥 Expanded Netherite Progression (4 New Tiers)

Has full armor sets

⚖️ Balance Philosophy

No “OP modded tools”

No progression skipping

Everything feels like it could have been vanilla

This mod is designed for players who love Minecraft as it is, but always wished it had more logical recipes and deeper progression.

⚙️ Recommendation:
It is recommended to use the JEI mod with this mod to see all the recipes within the game, although they can be seen in the photos above.
