Custom Crafting by Selah
Adds & improves crafting recipes with lightweight data packs (nothing crazy going on behind the scenes). The main pack tries to keep everything feeling fair and balanced. The Unbalanced pack is just that: everything, even if it breaks the game balance.

Readme File:
(with added markdown)
This is the generic readme file for all Alpha, Beta, and Release versions of my Custom Crafting packs. Please visit the Modrinth website for more details of each pack.
WARNING: IF YOU DOWNLOADED THIS FROM A SOURCE OTHER THAN MODRINTH, IT IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC VERSION AND MAY (or may not) CONTAIN VIRUSES OR MALWARE. THE ONLY VALID DOWNLOAD IS https://modrinth.com/datapack/custom-crafting-by-selah
Starting with installation:
- Put the datapack in your "/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/saves/[Your World Here]/datapack" folder.
- If you changed where Minecraft loads from, find that location and use that "saves" folder.
- For servers, put it in your world folder that matches where your server.properties file says.
- DO NOT put the datapack in your "/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/resourcepacks" folder.
For advanced users:
- IF you want to store it in your ".minecraft" folder, CREATE a folder called "datapack" and put it there.
- From there, when you create a world and go to add datapacks, you can simply go to this folder and grab what you need.
NOTE: SOME VERSIONS WILL SHOW INCOMPATIBLILITY. This is because the "pack_format" does not match the current version.
- As long as the pack_format is older than or the same as the version you are using, everything should load fine.
- If the pack_format is newer than the version you are using, everything SHOULD work, BUT it is UNTESTED! There will also likely be console errors for items not in the game.
- There are some packs that are just broken when upgrading from one version to the next - ALWAYS use the pack associated with the version as listed on Modrinth.
This pack was made by Selah (AspieGamer13). If you want to use this pack in your single player worlds or multiplayer servers, just use them. This is what they're meant for. If you want to use this pack in your custom modpack or similar, there is ONE condition: Make sure you give proper credit for these packs. There is NO authorization to modify elements of this pack with intent to redistribute. You may ONLY modify elements of this pack FOR PERSONAL USE.

Datapack version is formatted as A.B.C
- A matches the lowest supported "Pack Format" version
- B is either a significant addition/change within the same "Pack Format" range OR
is a minor change extending supported formats range (as of "Pack Format" 16) - C is a change that adds, removes, or fixes recipes from the specific pack (such as retroactively adding "Red Sand" to Beta and Release packs, for example)
Datapacks were not a thing before 1.13. There is no way to make these compatible older than 1.13.
1.17, 1.20.5, & 1.21 all have major breaking changes to datapacks
1.17: Breaks Advancements which are used to unlock recipes without commands
1.20.5: Breaks ALL Recipes
1.21: Breaks Folder Structure

Known Issues
Alpha 41.0.0 and Beta 41.0.0 Packs have the wrong Pack Format
value in pack.mcmeta.
This was only fixed in the Release 41.0.1 versions as it is a minor issue, but one to avoid in the full release versions.
