Why Use Recipes Plus Mod?
Minecraft’s base crafting system often limits access to aesthetic blocks or utility gear, forcing players into tedious collection tasks or loot dependency. Recipes Plus changes that by giving players agency through logical, lore-friendly crafting paths. It’s perfect for:
- Builders needing easy access to block variants
- Survival players who want saddles, bundles, or armor without rare loot drops
- Modpack makers aiming for more balanced progression
- Quality-of-life improvements that don’t alter core mechanics
FAQs
Do these recipes replace vanilla ones?
No, the mod adds new recipes without overriding any existing vanilla recipes. It extends the crafting and stonecutting system rather than changing it.
Are the new dye recipes compatible with other mods?
Yes, the dye system is designed with mod compatibility in mind. If other mods add dyes, many of them will work with the same recipe patterns.
Can I craft elytra using this mod?
You cannot craft elytra from scratch, but you can fortify them using custom recipes to enhance durability, giving them longer lifespan.
Is this mod configurable?
Most recipes follow a pre-configured logic, but modpack authors can override or remove specific recipes using standard data pack or CraftTweaker methods.
Does it work on all major mod loaders?
Yes, Recipes Plus supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt—making it ideal for nearly any modded Minecraft environment.
