Cheaper lantern recipes

This was my very first idea for a minecraft datapack, and now I'm revisiting this, with a lot more experience.

  • deleting the vanilla recipe: no risc of using the old recipe and wasting iron
  • granting the recipe: just like in vanilla
  • unlike other datapacks: updated to the newest versions and support for copper lanterns!

The recipes:

4 nuggets around a torch -> lantern 4 iron copper nuggets around a copper torch -> copper lantern 4 iron nuggets around a soul torch ->soul lantern

Tip: craft 36, 72/64+8 or 16x64 if you don't want any leftover nuggets

roadmap

1| soul lantern recipes---> Release 1.0!

2| backporting all the way back to the first lantern, of course, copper and soul lanterns only untill their respective versions.

  I found an issue with this: there is no easy way to get the datapack to load unless you make a seperate metadata for every single version. I don't think that's worth it, I will reconsider this when the project reaches more downloads.

If I decide to expand this project more:

3| config for even cheaper lanterns, 2 and 1 nugget

4|adding config for special crafting recipes, like with full ingots and 9 torches for faster crafting, and disabling the copper recipe for if you think copper is already cheap enough.

behind the scenes: my test world

crafting table in front of the plain village fountain, an oak block with a lantern on either side, copper and iron, chest on the left, a hill behind the village on the left, almost sunset, you can see the sun setting behind the fountain
