Uncrafting is a Fabric mod for Minecraft that adds crafting recipes for items that are normally unobtainable through crafting, while keeping the game balanced and progression-friendly.
The goal of the mod is to reduce reliance on RNG, villagers, or rare structures, without making powerful items too easy to obtain.
The mod does not add new items or blocks. It simply expands vanilla crafting in a logical and fair way.
