About this project

What does Balanced Recipes and Copper add?

**BALANCED RECIPES**

This mod/datapack adds useful crafting recipes to Minecraft, focusing on obtaining items from scratch that normally cannot be obtained or depend on loot, but at a fair cost, using a reasonable amount of materials.

This project has the following objectives:

Create hard-to-obtain items at a fair price.
Make use of useless items (tuff, copper, trims, horse armor, amethyst).
Keep rare items such as horse armor and elytra in that state.

Some examples

Copper's fishing rod, crafter, saddle and nametag.
Craft enchanted apple, trial keys (optional), debug stick, invisible item frame (with amethyst) and upgrade template.
Unpack quartz, glowstone and cowbweb (also craftable with 9 string).
Shapeless recipe to bread, cookies, paper, shulker box and 2x2 smithing table and others...
Recycle: leather (armor, saddle), netherite/gold (neth gear).
Rotten flesh to leather.
Stick from logs.

Note: 1.7 has a special version *without trial keys* crafting

Future plans: More amethyst uses
