MiscRecipes

This Minecraft data pack adds recipes for crafting or cutting various items that may either be ordinarily uncraftable / non-renewable or make more sense than the standard recipes.

Recipes

• Bell

[‒] [‒] [‒]     ‒ = Stick
[/] [/] [/]     / = Gold Ingot
[/] [•] [/]     • = Gold Nugget

There is no vanilla crafting recipe for a bell; normally they can only be found in villages; trading with armorers, toolsmiths, or weaponsmiths; or there's a small chance of finding them in chests next to ruined portals.

• Bundle

  • 1 string
  • 1 leather

  Up through Minecraft 1.21.1, the bundle recipe required enabling an experimental data pack that comes with Minecraft. This provides the same recipe.

  Since Minecraft 1.21.2, the bundle recipe is available in vanilla Minecraft.

• Buttons (stonecutter)

  There are stonecutter recipes to convert blackstone, polished blackstone, or stone into 8 buttons of that stone type, which is a higher yield than the crafting table recipes which only produce 1 button per block; or cobblestone into 2 stone buttons, which normally can't be crafted into buttons at all. (For the wood button types, see the Sawmill data pack.)

• Crying Obsidian

  • 1 obsidian
  • 1 ghast tear

  Crying obsidian is normally found randomly in ruined portals or by bartering with piglins in the nether. They are mainly decorative in that portals will not work with them, but they are as blast-resistant as regular obsidian and also produce a light level of 10.

• Fungus

  • Crimson

    • 1 red mushroom
    • 1 crimson roots

  • Warped

    • 1 brown mushroom
    • 1 warped roots

  Fungus may normally be grown by using bone meal on a patch of nylium; however it's produced at a much lower rate than roots. These recipes allow you to obtain fungus more easily if you happen to have a lot of mushrooms.

• Leather

  • 4 rotten flesh

  Makes 1 leather. Normally leather is obtained from farming bovines or equines; this recipe is just a means for using excess rotten flesh you may have from zombies, as otherwise it is only useful for trading with clerics or as a (poor) emergency food source.

  • smelt (or smoke) cooked steak

  If you're farming cows for leather, this is a way to turn excess steak into more leather. You just have to cook the steak twice.

• Name Tag

  • 1 copper ingot
  • 1 chain

  There was no vanilla crafting recipe for a name tag prior to Minecraft 26.1; normally they could only be found randomly by fishing or through trading with librarians.

  As of version 1.21.9 (or dev version 25w35a), either iron or copper chain can be used in this recipe.

  As of version 26.1, the vanilla recipe will let you create name tags from a nugget and paper, which is cheaper. This alternative version of the recipe is still available.

• Nether Fence (stonecutter)

  There's a stonecutter recipe to turn a block of nether bricks into a nether fence. This is a bit less efficient than the crafting recipe (yields 25% fewer fences) but lets you be more precise in the number of fences you get out.

• Nether quartz

  • 1 quartz block

  This recipe converts quartz blocks into nether quartz, using the same ratio by which quartz is normally converted to blocks. This allows you to more efficiently store quartz and convert it back when needed.

• Ore

  There are a number of recipes here to reconstruct ore from stone and minerals. These recipes are just for decorative purposes; since breaking the ore drops a random number of minerals, the recipes require more than the average amount dropped when breaking with Fortune Ⅲ.

  • Coal Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 3 coal

  • Deepslate Coal Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 3 coal

  • Copper Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 8 raw copper or 8 copper ingots

  • Deepslate Copper Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 8 raw copper or 8 copper ingots

  • Diamond Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 3 diamonds

  • Deepslate Diamond Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 3 diamonds

  • Emerald Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 3 emeralds

  • Deepslate Emerald Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 3 emeralds

  • Gold Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 3 raw gold or gold ingots

  • Deepslate Gold Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 3 raw gold or gold ingots

  • Nether Gold Ore

    • 1 netherrack
    • 1 gold ingot

  • Iron Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 3 raw iron or iron ingots

  • Deepslate Iron Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 3 raw iron or iron ingots

  • Lapis Lazuli Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 2 blocks of lapis lazuli

  • Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 2 blocks of lapis lazuli

  • Nether Quartz Ore

    • 1 netherrack
    • 3 quartz

  • Redstone Ore

    • 1 stone
    • 6 redstone dust

  • Deepslate Redstone Ore

    • 1 deepslate
    • 6 redstone dust

• Redstone

  • 1 red sand
  • 1 block of raw copper
  • 1 block of quartz
  • 1 magma block

  Makes 4 blocks of redstone. Normally redstone dust is mined from redstone ore or looted from witches; this recipe provides another means of obtaining it in larger quantities, particularly if you do a lot of digging in the nether.

• Prismarine Crystal

  Cook a prismarine shard in a furnace or blast furnace.

• Redstone Dust

  Cook a spider eye in a (normal) furnace. Each eye takes 2½ seconds to cook, so you can smelt 4× as many eyes as most other items for a given amount of fuel.

• Sand (stonecutter)

  There are stonecutter recipes to convert netherrack into either sand or red sand. This is useful if you happen to be digging a lot of area out of the nether. Although sand is plentiful in deserts, it is an otherwise non-renewable resource.

• Sand (crafter)

This recipe converts 4 blocks of netherrack into 4 blocks of sand. It was added as an alternative to the stonecutter recipe to make conversion more convenient with the autocrafter.

• Saplings

  • Dark Oak

    • 1 stripped dark oak log
    • 1 dark oak leaves

  • Jungle

    • 1 stripped jungle log
    • 1 vine

  • Pale Oak

    • 1 stripped pale oak log
    • 1 pale oak leaves

  Each recipe makes 2 saplings. Dark oak, jungle, and pale oak saplings have a lower drop rate from breaking leaves than the other trees in Minecraft, so these recipes can help out with farming these trees, especially if you need to harvest their leaves for other purposes.
