Substitute Stone, Obsidian, and Glow Materials in Recipes

If your chests are overflowing with underground clutter or you are stuck in the Nether or End without Cobblestone, Crafting+ expands which blocks count as valid ingredients for tools and utility stations.

Use Any Stone for Tools and Machines

You no longer need strictly Cobblestone or Blackstone for basic survival recipes. You can substitute Cobblestone, Granite, Andesite, Diorite, Tuff, Cobbled Deepslate, End Stone, Blackstone, or Netherrack when crafting:

• Stone Pickaxes, Axes, Shovels, Hoes, and Swords
• Furnaces and Brewing Stands
• Pistons (which also accept mixed wood types), Observers, Droppers, Dispensers, and Levers

Mix Glass, Obsidian, and Dyes

High-tier utility blocks and decorations are also much less restrictive:

• Beacons and Enchanting Tables: Enchanting Tables accept any Obsidian variant (such as Crying Obsidian), and Beacons accept both any Obsidian block and any Glass variant.
• Spectral Arrows: If you are short on Glowstone Dust, you can craft Spectral Arrows using Glow Berries or Glow Ink Sacs instead, or turn Glow Berries directly into Glowstone.
• Redyeing: Beds, Carpets, and Wool of any existing color can be redyed directly in a crafting grid without needing white variants first.
