Random Crafts

Random Crafts

When you create a new world for the first time, this mod generates a datapack with randomized crafting recipes and automatically applies it.

The randomization isn’t completely chaotic — it’s slightly controlled to keep the game balanced and actually playable on any seed. The random seed is also tied to the world seed, so every world gets its own unique crafting chaos.

Compatible with other mods that add recipes, but randomized recipes may change progression: some items might appear earlier or later than usual.

How to randomize crafting

When creating a new world, enable “Randomize Crafting” in the Game Rules section.

That’s it — once the world loads, the mod will generate and apply the randomized recipes automatically.

How do I unlock recipes in Survival?

At the start of the game, only the crafting table recipe is unlocked.

To unlock recipes for other items, you must obtain ingredients from their vanilla recipes.
For example, to unlock the furnace recipe, you still need to collect cobblestone — even though the randomized recipe itself may use completely different ingredients.

This keeps progression familiar, but unpredictable.

How to restore original recipes

If you want to go back to vanilla crafting, simply delete the randomcrafts datapack from your world folder.

After re-entering the world, all original recipes will be restored automatically.
