Balanced Crafting Recipes

20260709 — Minecraft 26.2 Support & Major Cleanup

Now supports Minecraft Java 1.21.11 → 26.2 "Chaos Cubed" (pack format 94.1–107.1, previously 88–94)

✨ Added

26.2 Chaos Cubed content

• 6× stair crafting for all Sulfur & Cinnabar variants (sulfur / polished / bricks, cinnabar / polished / bricks)
• Reverse recipes: sulfur & cinnabar stairs/slabs back to full blocks
• 32 wall → block reverse recipes — every wall in the game (incl. new sulfur/cinnabar walls) converts back to 4 full blocks
• Cinnabar works in #raw_stone stonecutting recipes
• Arrows can now be tipped with Sulfur Spikes
• Spear smithing gear upgrades: copper → iron → gold → diamond

Stairs rebalance completed

• ALL 64 craftable stairs now yield 6 (vanilla: 4) — added the 30 missing ones (stone, sandstone/quartz/purpur/prismarine/tuff families, all polished stone variants, spruce/warped/pale oak, weathered & all waxed copper, resin brick, red nether brick)

Stonecutter

• Every wood type (12, mangrove added): 1 plank → 1 stair

Furnace

• Concrete powder (16 colors) now smelts into matching stained glass

New recipes

• Hay block → bread (2 variants)
• TNT accepts red sand & concrete powders in place of sand
• Cheaper hopper (chest/barrel + iron) & one-step hopper minecart
• Writable book from book + dye
• Dye conversions: light blue→blue, light gray→gray, lime→green, magenta→purple, pink→red
• Load banner: "BCR | v. Loaded!" message + anvil sound on load and on player join

🔧 Fixed

• Universal dyeing: lime & magenta were unusable (copies of black/light gray) — all 160 dye recipes rebuilt, ingredient lists corrected
• One-step colored beds (15) never loaded — invalid multi-character key
• Carpet → wool (16) never loaded — invalid file names (@, ()); all outputs were white-only, blue was missing entirely
• Log → trapdoor stonecutting (11 woods) never loaded — file names contained a space
• Crimson/Warped chest boat recipes removed — these items don't exist and crashed the 26.2 recipe loader
• Tinted glass: tag inside item list (26.2 parser error)
• chain → iron_chain (renamed in 1.21.9) in iron nugget smelting
• "snout" pottery sherd → snort (item doesn't exist); 6 sherd dupe recipes had an unfilled @ placeholder
• rose → poppy in red dye recipe; beacon glass tag typo; dark oak button used non-existent item
• Sulfur/cinnabar misspellings ("surfur", "poilshed", "birck") across ~15 files & file names — several stair recipes weren't overriding vanilla because of this
• pack.mcmeta encoding — description colors now render correctly

⚖ Changed

• Lead: 3 string → 2 leads (simplified from string+slime pattern)
