Better Building Block Recipes
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
Overview
Improves the game's building experience by changing all stair and slab recipes to be craftable in the inventory's 2x2 crafting grid, adding ways to convert stairs, slabs, and walls back into their original block, and improves upon the stonecutter by adding a plethora of missing recipes, such as for all wood planks as well as interchanging between different stone variants; cobblestone to stone bricks and back, or polished variants back to their raw stones. Recipes that would be conflicting, such as pressure plates and carpets, are changed as well to the closest reasonable recipe I could think of.
Versions
the same Version 1.0 file supports all versions from 26.1 to 26.3+. In the event that newer updates add new building block variants, this datapack will be updated shortly after to support those too (if I remember).
