• The enchanting table recipe has been improved:
    - the current game icon features a red carpet, so a red carpet is now included in the crafting recipe.
    - And since all four corners are made of diamond, it now requires four diamonds instead of two.
It's just a little more expensive to craft. Bright side? It now costs one less piece of obsidian ;)

EDITED VANILLA RECIPES (ADVANCED)

Some vanilla recipes have been modified or added thanks to new features included in this add-on.

• Now it's possible to create the Chainmail Armor thanks to the new item: "Chainmail"

The Chainmail Armor cost a total of 18 Iron Ingots with this recipe (since it has a ratio of 80% compared to Iron Armor), after obtained the Chainmail item, simply craft the armor like every other minecraft armor.

• Is it too easy to craft the game's main item, the Crafting Table, right?
Well, thanks to this add-on, it will now be more difficult to craft one, at least in the beginning of the game, becoming a precious item not to be left everywhere.

From now you can't break logs with your bare hands, only with axes.

But don't worry, to obtain it in the beginning, you need a couple of new tools: 

The knife! More specifically, a Flint Knife:

The first axe you can ever craft, a Flint Axe:

Both are sharper than stone but more fragile than wood, so the survival challenge starts right from the beginning.

As you can see, to craft the Flint Axe you need of a new item, it is a Grass Blade.

To obtain it you have to break the grass you find on grass blocks with the Flint Knife. You can obtain 1 from Short Grass and 2 from Tall Grass.

 

• Thanks to the new ingredient, Grass Blade, now it's possible to compact sticks together to have more free space into the inventory, you can compact 4 of them into a Sticks Bundle, this is the recipe:

NEW BLOCKS

This add-on also implements new blocks.

️WARNING

If you install this add-on in an existing world you may not see blocks spawning in the world, in which case you need to move to chunks that have never been loaded into the world yet.

 

• What's that shiny thing sticking out of the sand? Salt? I wonder what kind of applications it has..

Showing Salt Sand block

You can find it resurfaced in small formations in beach or ocean biomes. By digging this block of Salt Sand you can obtain up to 3 Salt, it will be useful for the recipes.

 

COOKING RECIPES

It's time to turn Steve into a chef! In this add-on the recipes of some foods change, making cooking a process step.

NEW INGREDIENTS

• Flour

Flour recipe

• Salt (obtained by digging the Salt Sand block)

 

RECIPE BOOK
