(Update) I will add 26.x.x support when Mcreator releases its next software version. Also, I just wanted to say thanks for 120 downloads
Hey, so I made this mod because I was honestly annoyed that you can't craft half the cool items in vanilla Minecraft. This mod basically fixes that by adding simple, fair crafting recipes for every single item that you normally can't craft in survival mode.
No more grinding raids for hours or just hoping you get lucky with dungeon chest loot.
What can you craft now?
Here are a few examples of the stuff you can finally make on a crafting table:
Totem of Undying (no more endless raid farming)
Elytra
Chainmail Armor
Horse Armor (iron, gold, and diamond)
Saddles
Nametags
Tridents
How do I see the recipes?
I didn't make a custom guide for it, so I highly recommend using a mod like JEI (Just Enough Items) or REI (Roughly Enough Items) so you can see the exact recipes in-game. They are all pretty straightforward and use vanilla materials that actually make sense for the item.
Compatibility
!UPDATE! The mod will get long-term support for Fabric and Neoforge. But it will not get long-term support for Forge.
This is a super lightweight mod, so it should work fine with pretty much any other mod or modpack. It literally only adds recipes, so it doesn't change how the actual items work or break anything.
