DatapacksJava
redstono's recipes back port
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.
1.21+ Recipe Backport Datapack
Bring the future of Minecraft crafting into your favorite modded worlds!
This datapack bridges the version gap by backporting crafting recipes from Minecraft 1.21.6 and above directly into older versions of the game.
Why use this datapack?
Many massive content mods—like the Create Mod—are firmly rooted in stable versions like 1.20.1. If you want to build complex automated factories but still want access to the latest vanilla items and crafting mechanics introduced in the newer updates, this pack handles it seamlessly.
