Immersive Realism

The core idea of this mod is to create a way or recipe for obtaining items you would normally get from fantastical or non-realistic mobs (ex. Slime Balls, Gunpowder, Blaze Powder etc.). This with the purpose of making the game more realistic or immersive.
Is perfect for mods/modpacks that aim to create a realistic experience or maybe something that wouldn’t fit with some of Minecraft’s mobs, for example Zombie Apocalypse, Non-fantastic Medieval, or Sci-fi modpacks, making it easier to keep roleplay. This by effectively allowing to disable the spawn for those mobs (via other mods like Bad Mobs) without it affecting gameplay. It also adds recipes for some items that lack them and overall quality of life improvements.

I tried my best to make the recipes immersive and semi-realistic, with inspiration on a real thing (like the recipe for Slime Balls is based on hide glue, or for the gunpowder uses real ingredients). Some of the recipes are somewhat complicated or require many steps, this to maintain realism and for balancing reasons. The mod also adds recipes for some items that don’t have them, and some quality of life recipes too.
I plan on making them even more immersive, and adding more depth to the elaboration of the items.
This mod is based on a mod I had in the past called Realistic Immersion, wich I sadly lost because forgot the password to the account.

Recipes

Slime Ball: First you need to get Sinew from any raw meat, then crafting it with a Bowl and a Water Bucket to get a Sinew Bowl. After that you need to cook it on a campfire to get a Cooked Sinew Bowl. Lastly craft that with a Lime Dye to get a Slime Ball. This is based on a way to make natural glue from animal tissue.

Gunpowder: First you need to obtain Sulfur and Saltpeter from their respective ores. Then just craft 2 Saltpeter, 1 Sulfur and 1 Charcoal to get 3 Gunpowder. This is based of the real recipe for blackpowder.

Blaze Powder: First you need to get Magnesium Dust from its ore. Then craft 2 Magnesium Dust with 2 Sulfur to get 2 Blaze Powder. This is based on the actual reaction this two elements make when combined.

Blaze Rod: Craft 3 Blaze Powder and 3 Gold Ingots to get 1 Blaze Rod.

Glowstone: Craft 1 Magnesium Dust, 1 Sulfur, 1 Quartz and 1 Glowing Lichen to get 4 Glowstone. Planning on improving this one.
