Craftify
A hand-crafted data pack, tailored to the way your community plays.
Craftify is a Minecraft data pack (Java Edition) built for our Survival (SMP) server. Rather than being a plugin, it works entirely through vanilla data-pack mechanics — recipes, advancements, loot tables, and functions — so it runs on any vanilla or Paper/Spigot server with no extra software to install.
It bundles a set of gameplay enhancements into one pack: extra and revamped crafting recipes, custom advancements, an in-game warp system driven by a tool book, and a handful of quality-of-life and moderation mechanics.
Craftify currently targets Minecraft 26.2. The pack declares min_format [107, 1]
and max_format 107 in pack.mcmeta. Loading it on an older version will report an
incompatible pack format.
Why Craftify
- Pure vanilla — no plugins, mods, or server software required. Just a data pack.
- All-in-one — recipes, advancements, warps, and mechanics in a single pack.
- Survival-friendly — designed around long-running SMP play.
- Drop-in — add it to your world's
datapacks/folder and/reload.
