About this Mod
Another mod... bringing back Minecraft's old or removed recipes!
Including a "normal" and "friendly" version:
"Normal" versions don't care about Minecraft's gameplay and could make items useless or unobtainable through some recipes. No extra recipes have been added apart from the listed ones on the Minecraft Wiki.
"Friendly" versions or "friendlier" versions alter or remove recipes to make sure the base experience isn't dramatically changed (i.e. Netherite crafting recipes requiring a Smithing Template) and makes sure all items are obtainable.
(not including Bedrock Edition's recipes. #JavaIsBetter)
