Smelt Ore Blocks, Make Leather, and Craft Custom Terrain

Crafting+ adds furnace shortcuts to speed up post-mining cleanup and introduces crafting recipes for natural blocks that normally require Silk Touch or tedious farming.

Furnace Shortcuts

Load these items into a standard Furnace (or Blast Furnace where applicable) with fuel to save time and obtain scarce resources:

• Raw Ore Blocks: Smelt compacted Raw Ore Blocks directly into their finished metal block variants—for example, smelting a Raw Iron Block straight into an Iron Block in one operation instead of smelting nine individual ores.
• Leather from Rotten Flesh: Smelt Rotten Flesh in a furnace to convert zombie drops directly into usable Leather.
• Dead Bushes: Smelt any tree Sapling to turn it into a Dead Bush for desert builds or stick supply.

Craft Natural and Nether Terrain Blocks

You can assemble decorative foliage and soil blocks right on a Crafting Table:

• Grass Blocks and Rooted Dirt: Place a Dirt block underneath Grass, Tall Grass, or a Moss Carpet to make a Grass Block. Place a Hanging Root directly below a Dirt block to craft Rooted Dirt.
• Nether Blocks and Vines: Place Netherrack below Crimson or Warped "grass" (Roots) to craft Crimson or Warped Nylium, or line up 3 of that respective Nether grass in a row to craft Weeping or Twisting Vines. Combine a Glowstone Block with a Mushroom Stem to craft a Shroomlight.
• Guaranteed Flint and Mushroom Blocks: Craft Gravel directly into Flint without repeatedly placing and breaking blocks, and arrange 4 Red or Brown Mushrooms to make their full Mushroom Blocks.
