Title

Wishful recipes is a fully configurable server-side mod. Adding a bunch of recipes that should already be part of the base game. It's highly compatible with other mods, thanks to its ability to scan already loaded recipes and to generate new ones based on them.

Automatically generates shapeless recipes that convert 2 slabs of the same type into their full block variant. Adds 2x2 stair recipes usable directly from your inventory. The output matches the stonecutter’s yield. Alternative and more flexible recipe for converting stairs back into slabs. Disabled by default. Config keys: alternative_stairs_to_blocks_enable,alternative_stairs_to_blocks_amount Automatically generates shapeless recipes that convert walls into their full block variants. Automatically generates blasting recipes for full blocks of raw metals. (Optionally also smelting recipes) Adds blasting recipes for all stonecutter-compatible blocks that can be smelted.

For items in a config list, it generates alternative recipes where all cobblestone is replaced with the vanilla tag #minecraft:stone_crafting_materials. Meaning you can craft these items using any item from the tag. By default, the tag includes Cobblestone, Blackstone, and Cobbled Deepslate. Config keys: use_stone_crafting_materials_list, use_stone_crafting_materials_enable Unlocks all recipes in the recipe book. Disabled by default. Config key: unlock_all_recipes

If you want to learn in more detail how this mod and its config options work be sure to check out its wiki. The dynamic recipe generation should make this mod highly compatible with other mods, but if you encounter any incompatible mods, please report it to me, and I will try to make them compatible. Also, when reporting this or any other bug, please do not forget to include the Minecraft version, mod loader, and the other mods you are using.
