Added missing items + balance changes
Go to this datapack's page

This is mainly a balance patch to address some issues found by players in the Vegan Minecraft server. Until recently I didn’t have any feedback at all on the datapack so I was balancing things judging by my own experince. It’s nice to now have other players trying it and giving me ideas :)

Gunpowder and leather were found to be too expensive, so it was decided to multiply their outputs by 3. Since the complaint about leather was about using it to craft item frames, I also added a new recipe for item frames that doesn’t require leather (I don’t know why this isn’t already the case in the base game).

Another complaint was about the expensiveness of the Nether star. This recipe was and is just a placeholder, as ideally I would like to implement a more immersive mechanic similar to summoning the Wither but in a pacifist way in order to obtain a Nether star. Nevertheless, I cheapened the Nether star recipe, and I also added it to ancient city loot, as per a player’s suggestion (and I think it makes sense).

There are other small changes listed below.

  Previous release: v1.2

Changes

Ethical textiles:

  • Increased the output yield of faux leather recipes from 1 to 3.
  • Added a new recipe for item frames which uses paper instead of leather.

Other:

  • Added a new recipe for the Eye of Ender (which I forgot in the previous update): it’s crafted with a compass, blaze powder, and crying obsidian.
  • Increased the output yield of the gunpowder recipe from 1 to 3.
  • Tide armor trims can now be found in ocean ruin chests with around a 10% chance.
  • Sponges can now be found by brushing suspicious sand/gravel in ocean ruins with a 6.7% chance (they replace iron axes in the vanilla loot table).
  • End’s mist recipe (Dragon’s breath) now uses a glass bottle instead of an experience bottle.
  • Killing piglins no longer counts as killing a non-hostile animal for the purpose of a hidden advancement.
  • The nether star recipe was changed to be cheaper. Now it requires 4 netherite ingots instead of a netherite block. The recipe now is: blaze powder surrounded by 4 diamonds and 4 netherite ingots.
  • Nether star now appears as a rare loot in ancient city chests (same probability as disc fragments and enchanted golden apples).
