Plant Based

Many important items in Minecraft can only be crafted with animal ingredients. Plant Based is a Minecraft mod which adds alternate, plant (or mineral) based recipes for important items that would otherwise use animals ingredients.

NOTE: The mod is compatible with Minecraft 1.21.2 and later, but no recipes since 1.18 have been added, since I don't currently play Minecraft and haven't kept track of new additions. Feel free to open issues on the issue tracker for new recipes.
