Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Alpha Recipes

A datapack/mod by Wilozyx

Alpha recipes is an adjacent project to beta recipes - this project focuses on faithfully bringing back all recipes from around alpha 1.1.2_01

All recipes are returned 1:1 to how they were, and new, modern, recipes are disabled, making crafting and smelting equal to alpha's

Some of the more noteworthy changes from alpha minecraft's recipes:

NOTE

Alpha Recipes and all of my other works are completely public property, meaning everyone is 100% free to put this into their own modpacks/put this into their own datapacks/edit/tweak/share/etc!
