Features

New smelting recipe: Plant Wax

You can obtain Plant Wax by smelting Jungle Leaves or Dead Bushes in a regular furnace (does not work in blast furnaces and smokers).

This recipe needs 10 seconds to cook (same as any other furnace recipe), and provides 0.1 xp.

Uninstallation

Since this datapack uses permanent marker entities and scheduled functions, an uninstall function is available through the command /function dnv.plant_wax:uninstall, in case you want to stop using this datapack. Using this command will kill all entity markers, scheduled functions, and scoreboards used by this datapack. Use this function before deleting the datapack files, so no unused stuff remains in your world.

Vegancraft

This is a standalone datapack, but was designed as a part of Vegancraft, a collection of datapacks with the goal of making a vegan gamestyle possible in a vanilla-like way without missing any game features.

As part of its integration on Vegancraft, this datapack includes the following additional features:

• A custom advancement tree.

If, for any reason, you want to remove these features, you can use the command /function dnv.vegancraft:toggle to disable them. You can also use that command to turn them on again.

Reasoning for the recipes

• In general, I tried to find recipes that have an analogue in real life and that I think are balanced in the game. Both recipes need shears to obtain the needed ingredient, same as to obtain honeycomb, and they force you to find certain biomes in order to get wax.
• The dead bush recipe is based on certain real-life bushes found in hot biomes –mainly candelilla wax– whose leaves produce wax. Since dead bushes are not renewable and primarily appear in deserts, I thought this was appropiate and balanced.
• The jungle leaves recipe is based on certain real-life tropical trees –mainly palm wax– whose leaves produce wax. Jungle leaves are renewable, but they are quite a pain to farm, so I thought they are still balanced.
• In both these cases, as far as I know, the wax is extracted heating the leaves (either drying them or boiling them), hence why I implemented them as furnace recipes.

Known issues and solutions

• These custom smelting recipes are implemented through a system of marker entities placed on each furnace. If you detect that one of these recipes is not working, try simply placing the furnace again (this never happened in the testing process, though). The performance of this system was stress-tested by using 100 furnaces simultaneously with these custom recipes, and no noticeable performance losses were found.
