Includes recipes for bulk crafting: buckets from iron blocks bowls from logs compass from iron blocks and a redstone block chains from iron ingots and blocks composters from logs lightning rods from copper blocks doors from logs/blocks trapdoors from logs/blocks pressure plates from logs/blocks stairs from logs slabs from logs boats from logs chests from logs sticks from logs ladders from logs
Also adds single-craft shortcuts for things that normally take multiple steps: trapped chest from a tripwire hook and 8 planks minecart variants from the base item plus iron (eg a hopper minecart from a hopper and 5 iron) chest boats from a chest and 5 planks
Plus a few misc shapeless recipes like shulker boxes, bread (also craftable from hay bales), magma cream and eyes of ender from rods, dispensers, and more.
And a few other misc things like beacons and end crystals using any type of glass, and a repeater using sticks and redstone dust instead of torches.
