# Archive Project has been archived indefinetely. Ill try and work on it asap but can't promise anything. # Overview !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/9b9f87d1178969e077269ae4e4d380e59ab52540_0.webp) **Thoughtful Recipes** is a datapack that aims to add recipes that fit into the vanilla game, and adding consistency, fixes, and more to the vanilla ones, while not giving the player any unfair advantage or making things that are meant to be uncraftable obtainable through crafting. # List of changes: ### You can copy pottery sherd with bricks and other items, similarly to trims. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/f4ebf174dd6a3364b15e0a8d24ffe5538245deff_0.webp) ### You can craft minecarts with hoppers, chests, furnaces, TNTs and boats with chests directly in one single recipe or use 2 logs instead of a chest in the hopper recipe. Some recipes now have "Bulk" versions. For example, you can craft 32 sticks with two logs, you can smelt raw ore blocks directly into blocks, and more. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/52ffa7b0fc37cef2657b1278a1b888efbcb23027_0.webp) ### Woodcutting: all woods can be turned into slabs, stairs and trapdoors with a stonecutter. 4 logs now make 4 Woods, 6 Planks now craft 12 trapdoors, not 2. Iron and copper trapdoor are also crafted the same way. but only give 4. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/b95a62666a0e197a27c62aa0e9dff833bd28ac4f_0.webp) ### Diorite, calcite and tuff recipes have been added or tweaked. Dripstone blocks can be broke down into pointed dripstone in a stonecutter. You can use a crafting table to turn grass blocks into dirt, deepslate into cobbled deepslate, stone into cobblestone, and more. You can now "unpack" various blocks, like wool, clay, bricks, quartz blocks and blue or packed ice. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/7e20fd9c8612069fbbcc94f634f8f00646abd3bf_0.webp) ### Flowers now give you the correct dye color and dyes can be mixed more easily or obtained from different materials or plants. Dead bushes and dry grass can be turned into normal grass and bushes with bone meal and vice versa with smelting. Dead bushes can also be turned into a stick. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/5fe6742d264f1f838e99a48601c9519bcb01d6ae_0.webp) # Detailed recipe list <details> <summary>Expand</summary> ### Backports: - (1.20-1.21.5 only) backported **saddle** and **lead** recipes. ### Bulk: - Iron blocks and ingots make 9 **chains** at once - Bamboo blocks, logs and planks instead of sticks to make more **ladders** at once - **Raw ore blocks** can be smelted directly into their metal block variant (9x the time, 9x the XP) ### Dyes: - Coal or charcoal into **black dye** - Nether sprouts, twisting vines and warped roots to **cyan dye** - Flowering azaleas and spore blossoms to **pink dye** - Crimson roots, redstone and weeping vines to **red dye** - Oxeye daisy and white tulip to **light gray dye** - Torchflowers to **orange dye** - **Brown dye** from: blue + orange, red + green, yellow + purple or yellow + red + blue - **Green dye** from: lime + black or yellow + blue ### Grass: - Bushes, grass and tall grass can be smelted into **dead/dry variants** - The opposite is true with **bonemeal** in a crafting table ### "Optimized" recipes: - **Chest boats** can be crafted directly with 5 planks and a chest or two logs - **Tnt**, **furnace**, **hopper** and **chest** minecarts can be crafted directly with 5 ingots and the respective item - **Hoppers** and **hopper minecarts** can be crafted with 2 logs instead of a chest ### Sherds: **Sherds** can be duplicated (like trims) with the original sherd, 3 bricks, and a special item: - Angler -> Any fish - Archer -> Any arrow - Arms Up -> Apple - Blade -> Iron ingot - Brewer -> Any potion - Burn -> Netherrack - Danger -> Gunpowder - Explorer -> Any boat - Flow -> Breeze rod - Friend -> Emerald - Guster -> Wind charge - Heart -> Glistering melon - Heartbreak -> Fermented spider eye - Howl -> Bone - Miner -> Cobblestone - Mourner -> Echo shard - Plenty -> Chest - Prize -> Diamond - Scrape -> Honeycomb - Sheaf -> Wheat - Shelter -> Any sapling - Skull -> bone - Snort -> Torchflower or pitcher plant ### Stones: - **Diorite** can be crafted with cobblestone and quartz - **Calcite** can be crafted with cobblestone and 2 quartz or diorite and quartz - **Andesite** can be crafted with cobblestone and diorite - **Tuff** can be crafted with 3 cobblestone and 3 quartz or calcite and andesite ### Unpacking: - **Blue** to 9 packed ice - **Carpet** and **wool** to strings - **Bricks**, **nether bricks**, **prismarine bricks**, **resin bricks** and **quartz blocks** to their respective bricks - **Deepslate** and grass to cobbled deepslate and dirt ### Woodcutting: - Planks ~~and logs~~ to **buttons**, **slabs**, **stairs** and **trapdoors** in the stonecutter - ~~Planks and logs to **sticks** and **doo
