Cheap Chain Crafting Datapack ⛓️✨
Tired of spending valuable iron ingots just to craft a few chains? Well, this datapack makes crafting cheap and easy! Instead of requiring iron ingots, you can now craft chains using only 2 iron nuggets. That’s right—no more wasting precious iron for a simple decoration!
🛠️ Features
The default chain recipe (which uses iron ingots) is replaced with a cheaper version. Simply use 2 iron nuggets to craft a chain—because let’s be honest, chains shouldn’t cost more than a full set of iron armor.

The recipe is balanced, so you don’t feel like you’re mining iron just to hang a lantern.
🎨 Why Use This Datapack?
✅ Affordable Decoration – Build without worrying about iron shortages!
✅ Survival friendly - You can craft chains in your inventory crafting gird.
✅ No More Iron Sacrifices – Keep that iron for tools and armor instead.
