Overview

Craftssentials is my response to "I wish I could craft ___" while playing vanilla Minecraft. I noticed no one mod condenses every crafting recipe tweak into one, so I decided to make my own rendition of a crafting addition datapack. Craftssentials adds 500+ new recipes to the base game, ranging from quality-of-life recipes to adding recipes for items that can't even be crafted! Craftssentials is balanced too-- nothing game-breaking or considered "cheating", and the usual items that are impossible to get are balanced to still be a challenge to craft. Don't play vanilla Minecraft without Craftssentials!
