RecipeStages for NeoForge 1.21.1 is a progression addon that allows modpack creators to restrict recipes based on player stages.
The mod works with GameStages-style progression systems and gives modpack developers control over when crafting, smelting, and other recipe types become available. Recipes can be locked until the player reaches a required stage, making it possible to build structured progression paths across large modpacks.
For players, RecipeStages makes crafting progression feel more intentional. Instead of every recipe being available from the start, new crafting options can unlock after quests, boss fights, dimensions, chapters, or other milestones. This helps guide players through a pack step by step and makes major achievements feel more rewarding.
For example, a pack can hide or block advanced machinery recipes until the player reaches a technology stage, lock magic recipes until a magic questline begins, or require boss progression before crafting endgame equipment.
Features include:
- Stage-based recipe restrictions.
- Support for milestone-based modpack progression.
- Useful for crafting, smelting, machines, magic recipes, and custom recipe types.
- Helps prevent players from skipping progression.
- Designed for NeoForge 1.21.1 modpacks.
RecipeStages is mainly intended for modpack creators who want to organize crafting progression and control how content unlocks throughout gameplay.
