Why Can’t I Craft That?

A mod to make the uncraftable craftable in a vanilla-friendly way.

Ever get annoyed with all the things you can’t craft, or need to fight a monster or seek out hidden ruins to obtain what feels like a fairly everyday item? Ever wish you could replicate the feats of old, enchanting golden apples or casting that mysterious alloy known only today as ancient debris?
