DripstoneRecipeFix

Finally, get the most out of your Dripstone Blocks.

A small but handy addition that gives you the one crafting recipe Minecraft was always missing.

---

Description

Ever found yourself with a stack of Dripstone Blocks and no way to turn them back into individual Pointed Dripstone? Vanilla only lets you go one way. This adds the missing return trip.

Available in three flavours, all doing exactly the same thing: a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, a server plugin for the whole Bukkit family and Sponge, and a plain datapack for everything else. Pick whichever fits your setup.

Simple, clean, and straight to the point.

Added Recipe

Input	Output
1x Dripstone Block	4x Pointed Dripstone

Place a Dripstone Block anywhere in your crafting grid and get 4x Pointed Dripstone back. That is the exact reverse of the vanilla recipe, so nothing is created out of thin air and nothing is lost. The recipe is shapeless, unlocks itself in your recipe book once you own either item, and needs no dependencies at all.
