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.
Craftable Items Include:
Elytra (using a custom Elytra Wing item)

The Trident is now craftable using custom components:

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