Misplaced a dye? Re-dye the block. Over-built with slabs? Turn them back into planks. Got a worn-out anvil or a low-tier tool? Upgrade it at the smithing table instead of starting over. Found a rare pottery sherd? Duplicate it. Every change keeps the vanilla feel — recipes stay intuitive and roughly cost-fair — while cutting out the busywork and the resource bleed that vanilla crafting often forces on you. ## ✨ Features - **♻️ Recycle blocks back into materials** — Turn any copper block variant (waxed, oxidized, cut, chiseled, grate — every state) back into **9 copper ingots**. Smelt iron/gold blocks and other items back into their base resources. - **🔄 Reverse crafting** — Convert slabs, stairs, walls, fences, doors, buttons, and glass panes back into the block or planks they came from. No more being stuck with the wrong shape. - **⚒️ Smithing-table gear upgrade tree** — Promote tools and armor through tiers at the smithing table (e.g. **stone → copper → … → diamond**) instead of re-crafting from scratch. Includes **anvil repair** (damaged → chipped → anvil). - **🪓 Stonecutter, now for wood & more** — Use the stonecutter to cut **logs into planks, slabs, stairs, doors, signs**, and to turn **raw deepslate into bricks/tiles/cobbled** variants. Far less waste than the crafting grid. - **🎨 Universal dyeing (8× output)** — Re-dye **any** color of wool, carpet, bed, banner, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta, glazed terracotta, stained glass, glass panes, and bundles into another color — 8 at a time. Wrong-colored blocks are never garbage again. - **📦 One-step & bulk crafting** — Craft **chest boats straight from planks + a chest**, make chest/furnace/hopper/TNT minecarts in one step, and produce colored beds, banners, bundles, and carpets directly. Plus bulk recipes like **16 sticks from logs**, **4 paper from a filled map**, and a **4× beehive**. - **💎 Duplicate rare items** — Surround a **pottery sherd** with bricks to get **4 copies**, and craft **armor-trim smithing templates** (×2) so you never permanently lose one. - **🧰 Quality-of-life extras** — Craftable **tinted glass** from any glass + amethyst, a cheaper **lodestone**, a new **stone spear**, ice ⇄ packed ice ⇄ blue ice conversions, and more. > 💡 The recurring theme: if vanilla makes you re-grind, re-gather, or discard — this pack gives you a sensible recipe instead. ## 🖼️ Screenshots |Stone Axe Crafting|Iron Pickaxe Smithing Upgrade| |-------|-------| |![axe. thats it.](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/d939a7e998737e10da9b9f2e4d66af50c25d792e.gif)|![Smithing table upgrading a copper pickaxe into a iron pickaxe](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/d55962deac7812dc431110619d75952af32f9d9b.gif)| ## 🔧 Installation This is a **data pack**, not a mod — no loader needed. **Single world** 1. Download the `.zip` (do **not** unzip it). 2. Place it in your world folder: `saves//datapacks/`. 3. In-game, run `/reload`, or leave and rejoin the world. **Dedicated server** 1. Drop the `.zip` into `world/datapacks/`. 2. Run `/reload` or restart the server. **Apply to every new world** - On the *Create New World* screen, open **Data Packs** and drag the `.zip` in before creating the world. ## ⚙️ Compatibility - **Minecraft:** Java Edition **1.21.9+** (pack format 88–95) - **Environment:** Works on both **single-player and servers** - **Mods:** None required — fully vanilla. Compatible with most resource/data packs. - **Heads-up:** Because this pack overrides some vanilla recipe files, it may conflict with **other datapacks that change the same recipes**. If two packs edit the same recipe, **load order** decides which one wins. ## ❓ FAQ

Do I need Fabric, Forge, or any mod?

No. It's a pure data pack and runs on unmodified Minecraft.

Will it break my existing world or recipes?

It only adds or overrides crafting/smithing/stonecutting recipes — it doesn't touch your blocks, items, or saves. You can remove it at any time with `/datapack disable`.

Does it work on older versions like 1.20?

No. It targets 1.21.9 and newer (it relies on recent items such as copper tools/armor and shelves). Older versions use a different pack format.

Can I use it in a modpack on Modrinth?

Yes — you may include this pack in any Modrinth modpack, as long as you credit the original page.
