RecipeBuff
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.

This datapack changes many recipes, like the wooden pickaxe, to be much more complicated and tedious to create. Along with changes to crafting, mobs have been buffed to annihilate you in three seconds. When you are injured, you become weaker and have effects like slowness.
Recipes changed include (but not limited to):
- All tools (except shovels)
- Crafting Table and Furnace
- Armor
