Renewable Resources Minecraft Datapack

Precious Resource Replenishment System

In vanilla Minecraft, numerous blocks and items exist in finite quantities within each world, or their renewal methods are so impractical they might as well be non-renewable. This datapack introduces sensible alternative acquisition methods, making these valuable resources farmable and sustainable for long-term gameplay.

Additional Crafting Formulas

A comprehensive collection of new recipes enables creation of previously scarce materials:

• Calcite Production: 2 quartz + 2 diorite = 2 calcite blocks
• Web Construction: 8 string + 1 slimeball = 1 cobweb
• Living Coral: 2 coral pieces + 2 coral fans (matching color) = 1 coral block
• Dead Vegetation: 1 blaze powder + 1 fern = 1 dead bush
• Geological Transformation: 4 stone + 4 blackstone + 1 obsidian = 9 deepslate units
• End Dimension Material: 4 blaze powder + 4 stone + 1 popped chorus fruit = 4 end stone
• Nether Rock Formation: 4 nether wart + 4 stone + 1 magma cream = 4 netherrack
• Equine Protection: 7 iron/gold/diamond ingots = corresponding horse armor piece

Numerous additional formulations exist for red sand, drip leaf variants, spore blossoms, geological formations, enchanted golden apples, ore blocks, rooted soil, banner patterns and many other scarce resources.

Reconstructing Ancient Pottery

Pottery sherd replication follows the established smithing template pattern, requiring an original sherd specimen, 7 brick units and a thematic component material.

The association system is intuitive - fishing rods for Angler sherds, bows for Archer fragments, totems of undying for Arms Up pieces, demonstrating thoughtful thematic connections.

Enhanced Mob Harvesting

Creatures now provide additional rewards:

• Guardians: contain 2.5% chance to drop moist sponges (unaffected by looting enchantments)
• Husks: decompose into 0-4 sand units upon defeat
• Special Music Discs: unlock through specific creature interactions (skeleton vs husk combat, drowned by skeletons, piglin conflicts, enderman encounters with wardens)
• Dragon Loot: Ender dragon can yield both its distinctive skull and elytra wing membranes (25% probability for either)
• Sculk Resonance: breaking catalysts without silk touch yields echo shards

Supplemental World Interactions

• Enchantment Availability: Librarian villagers can now trade Swift Sneak and Wind Burst enchantments
• Sniffer Prospecting: These ancient creatures can excavate Ancient Debris in the Nether (1% success rate)
• End Exploration: Sniffers digging in the End dimension can uncover Diamonds (1% occurrence)
• Disc Fragment Recovery: Deep Dark excavations yield Disc Fragments approximately 3% of attempts
• Extended Digging Capability: Sniffers can now operate on soul variants, nylium types and end stone alongside their standard excavation surfaces
