Nie's Improved Recipes
A simple datapack to add or alter recipes which just make sense!
About this Mod
Note of warning; I 100% intended this as a datapack and just used Modrinths inner mod maker to convert the datapack into a mod so if a bug exists in the mod version but not in the datapack version, I cannot fix it and I apologise.
Datapacks however are cool. You just need to put them into .minecraft/saves/
