Random Crafts

Random Crafts

When you create a new world for the first time, this mod generates a datapack with randomized crafting recipes and automatically applies it.

The randomization isn’t completely chaotic — it’s slightly controlled to keep the game balanced and actually playable on any seed. The random seed is also tied to the world seed, so every world gets its own unique crafting chaos.

Compatible with other mods that add recipes, but randomized recipes may change progression: some items might appear earlier or later than usual.

How to randomize crafting

When creating a new world, enable “Randomize Crafting” in the Game Rules section.

That’s it — once the world loads, the mod will generate and apply the randomized recipes automatically.

How do I unlock recipes in Survival?

At the start of the game, only the crafting table recipe is unlocked.

To unlock recipes for other items, you must obtain ingredients from their vanilla recipes.
For example, to unlock the furnace recipe, you still need to collect cobblestone — even though the randomized recipe itself may use completely different ingredients.

This keeps progression familiar, but unpredictable.

Management & Commands (v.1.2.0+)

You can manage the randomization using the /rc command (requires cheats enabled for management):

• /rc generate [seed] — Generates a new set of recipes. You can specify a custom seed or leave it blank to use the world's seed.
• /rc clear — Disables randomization and restores all original vanilla recipes instantly.
• /rc seed — Shows the current randomization seed used in your world (available for all players).

How to restore original recipes

The easiest way to go back to vanilla crafting is to use the /rc clear command.

Alternatively, you can manually delete the randomcrafts datapack from your world's datapacks folder. After a world reload or using the /reload command, all original recipes will be restored.
