# What are the changes this Datapack provides?<\/p>\n
Here is a summarized list of what this pack has to offer:<\/p>\n Around 30+ new recipes. All are mentioned in the gallery. But pretty much all of them appear on your recipe book. <\/p>\n ### Special recipes:<\/p>\n Two sticks, one armor stand for the armed armor stand [Read more in the below features] One glass pane, one item frame or glow item frame for the diphanous item frame [Read more in the below features] One blaze power, X glow stone dust for a light block. Vanilla recipes like furnaces & droppers can be made with any type of rock. (stone, basalt, granite ..etc)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Dyeing glass doesn’t require it to be uncolored anymore. So you can dye stained glass. (this feature will be added to wool & concrete later).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Loyalty tridents can no longer disappear in the void. Normally, throwing your loyalty trident into the void kills it, but now it will return back to you. So you don’t have to worry about using yout trident in the end. Leashed mobs will no longer die of fall damage. Therefore transferring them with an elytra or just running and jumping off cliffs doesn’t pose much of a threat.. for the mob at least \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<\/details>\n All piglin trades along side any gold material cannot be picked up by piglin babies. So those brats can no longer steal your precious gold.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n A special type of armor stands that has arms, can be crafted with a normal armor stand and two sticks. The recipe is unshaped. Breaking the armed armor stand will drop a normal armor stand and two sticks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Special type of frames which are invisible, can be crafted with one frame and a glass pane. Works with normal & glow item frames.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Horses, donkeys, mules, and camels can all be used to cross water gaps now. Naturally you have no control in water while riding any of those, and you’d eventually get dismounted. But now, you can swim up normally like you would for a normal player.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Sugar canes and most plants can now be planted on farmlands. to avoid Annoyance of having to return the farm land into a dirt block.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Copper blocks can be used as beacon base blocks. Though it must not be oxidized. Making it a good temporary beacon-base block.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n All glass variants are now considered blocks mineable with pickaxes, the better the pickaxe the faster the block is mined. Though, you shouldn’t forget silk touch if you want the block itself. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n Raw ore blocks can be smelted as they are. Not needing to convert them into 9 pierces. Though it takes longer time to smelt than normal raw ores.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Budding amethyst is now mineable with silktouch. Some materials that were smeltable exclusively in a normal furnace, can now be smelted in a blast furnace now.(Clayballs, Netherrack, Quartz Block, Stone, Sandstone, Red Sandstone, Basalt, Clay Block, Sand & Red Sand)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n And those are all the currently available features!
