Craft This From That
Have you ever looked at a stack of rotten flesh and thought, "You know what this needs to be? A pickaxe." Probably not, but that is exactly the kind of absurd creativity that Craft This From That was built for. This add-on takes the phrase "everything is craftable" and runs with it at full sprint, letting players forge tools, armor, and blocks out of virtually any item they can get their hands on.
What Does Craft This From That Actually Do?
At its core, the add-on expands the crafting system far beyond vanilla recipes. Instead of limiting you to wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamond, it opens the door to using whatever random materials you have lying around. That means you can build a sword out of wheat, a chestplate out of cobblestone, or a full set of armor out of something completely ridiculous like eggs or string.
The creator's stated goal is simple and ambitious: make literally everything craftable from literally every item. It is an ongoing project, so the list of supported materials keeps growing with each update. If you have ever wanted to suggest a new combination, the developer has historically welcomed community feedback through comments and Discord.
Tools, Armor, and Blocks
The add-on covers three main categories of craftable gear:
- Tools - pickaxes, swords, axes, shovels, and hoes made from unconventional materials
- Armor - helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots forged from whatever you choose
- Blocks - decorative and functional blocks crafted from items that normally would never form a block
Each crafted piece typically inherits stats or behavior tied to its source material, which makes experimentation genuinely fun. Some combinations are surprisingly practical, while others exist purely for the chaos factor.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Craft This From That is designed as a Bedrock Edition add-on, which means it works on Minecraft Bedrock platforms including Windows, mobile, and consoles where add-ons are supported. Because Bedrock add-ons rely on behavior packs and resource packs rather than Java mod loaders like Forge or Fabric, installation is handled differently than a traditional Java mod. Always check the specific version compatibility listed alongside the download, since behavior pack formats change between major Minecraft releases.
How to Install Craft This From That for Minecraft
Getting started is straightforward if you follow the right steps:
- Download Craft This From That from a trusted add-on source
- Open the .mcaddon or .mcpack file so Minecraft imports it automatically
- Create or edit a world and enable the behavior pack and resource pack
- Launch the world and start experimenting with new recipes
If you prefer a smoother path, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Craft This From That directly into its add-on catalog, so you can add it to a world with a single click instead of juggling separate files. That convenience matters a lot when you are cycling through multiple add-ons at once.
Why Players Enjoy This Add-On
Vanilla Minecraft eventually funnels every player toward the same handful of materials. Diamonds, netherite, iron, and that is about it. Craft This From That breaks that monotony by turning every inventory slot into a potential crafting ingredient. Survival challenges, joke playthroughs, and creative builds all benefit from the sheer unpredictability of what you can make.
It also pairs nicely with other add-ons. If you already run a modpack-style world with extra items, those items often become new crafting candidates too, multiplying the possibilities.
Tips for New Players
Start small. Try crafting a wooden-tier tool from a common item first to understand how stats scale. Once you get a feel for the system, move on to armor sets and blocks. Keep a chest dedicated to "experimental" materials so you do not accidentally burn through resources you need elsewhere.
Final Thoughts
Craft This From That is one of those add-ons that sounds like a joke and then quietly becomes a staple of your world. Whether you want to break survival balance, prank your friends, or simply see what a bread sword looks like in action, this add-on delivers. Grab it for Bedrock, enable it in your next world, and start crafting things that were never meant to be crafted.
