Iron Lodestones Backport is a simple datapack that replaces changes the lodestone crafting recipe to use iron rather than netherite. This is a backport of a change in 1.21.5.

It is intended to support every version that contains lodestones until the vanilla change. It has been tested on these versions:

20w13a
1.16
1.20.4
24w07a
24w09a
1.20.6
24w20a
24w21a
1.21
1.21.1
24w33a
1.21.4

These versions were selected on account of being before or after relevant datapack changes, so it should cover all versions in between, but I can't promise 100% certainty to work with every version. Note: Some of these versions will indicate that the pack is made for a newer version of Minecraft; that is known to occur on some working versions, so it is not a sufficient indicator of failure.
