Crafting Improved
About
A simple mod that adds new crafting recipes and modifys some existing ones. Use this if you think certain minecraft crafting recipes are unbalanced. I know there are already plenty of other data packs and mods just like this but I really think that mine is better than the ones I've seen.
Tips
I've added things you must do to unlock the recipes in the recipe book. (mostly getting items that you need to craft the thing)
To find all recipes added on a world where you have access you cheats use this command that gives you every recipe in the game, then search the in game recipe book for recipes that you see in the list at the bottom of this description.
