This mod changes and adds a few crafting recipes to be more balanced and practical.
Slabs to blocks - reuse slabs you no longer need
Smelting sand in blast furnaces - smelting Sand and Red Sand into Glass in Blast Furnace
Cooked Carrots - Normal Carrots, but you eat them twice as fast
Craft 6 stairs instead of 4 - crafting stairs in a crafting table will yield the same amount of stairs as if you were using a stonecutter
Use Blackstone and Endstone to craft stone tools
Nether Wart Blocks to Nether Warts
Blasting Netherrack into Nether Bricks
Blasting Raw Metal Blocks into Blocks - smelt Raw Iron, Copper and Gold blocks in a Blast Furnace
Blasting Clay - smelt Clay Blocks into Terracotta Blocks and Clay Balls into Bricks in a Blast Furnace
Blasting Cobblestone - smelt Cobblestone into Stone and Cobbled Deepslate into Deepslate in a Blast Furnace
