Easycraft is a mod for easy crafting recipes of many common but hard to make items, especially in singleplayer survival without tedious searching. This was forked from Easy Wool (and can be used to be a drop-in replacement) by Tim7 and goes a lot further. I do plan to add more easy recipes over time to make this more friendly to single player survival modders who simply want to craft without the tedious hassle of hunting down materials, though I intend to keep this base game friendly. This include rare ores, tools, and other things that people who just want to build in survival mode may not want to waste so much time searching for.
Anyone wanting to use my mod to patch them to play nice or use mine as a base to change others is welcome, pursuant to the MIT license. This should work with all versions of Minetest 5.0+, send me comments and suggestions for further improvement or bug reports if need be.
1.3 fixes gold lump recipe overlapping with map recipe, now both should work.
So Easy It's Almost Cheating [Rewrite]
The description wasn't clear to me, so here it is: It's a bunch of recipies to make many (maybe all) of the base game items with leaves and stones – anything a player might struggle to find can be crafted… except maybe leaves and stones. By that measure it appears clean and comprehensive. Personally, I think it's a little too simple, but clearly I'm not the intended audience.
My original review was quickly responded to by the dev, reasonably and with respect, so of course I'm rewriting it. 😀 A cleanly written project, by a dev who remains attentive years after it's needed any maintinence, and who treats others with reason and respect is not something I take lightly. So if making iron from leaves and stones will improve your game or make you happy, go for it.
Also, if you want a code example that a beginner can make sense of, the package is only a couple of simple, clearly written and formatted files.
