Polymorph+
If you play Minecraft with a lot of mods, you have probably run into the same frustrating situation: you place ingredients in a crafting grid, and the game decides for you which recipe to use. When two or more mods add recipes with the same ingredients, you get stuck with one result, often the wrong one. Polymorph+ solves this by putting the choice back in your hands. Instead of removing or altering conflicting recipes, it lets you pick which output you want from a simple selector. It is a quality-of-life mod that keeps your modpack intact and your crafting sessions stress-free.
What Does Polymorph+ Do Exactly?
At its core, Polymorph+ is a recipe conflict resolver. When your input matches more than one recipe, a small button appears above the output slot. Click it, and a list of all possible results shows up. You select the one you need, and the crafting proceeds as normal. The best part is that your selection persists as long as the ingredients stay the same, so you do not have to re-pick every single time.
Crafting Table and Crafter Support
The mod works across all the essential crafting stations. In the standard crafting table, the selector button appears whenever there is a conflict. The same applies to the vanilla Crafter block, which is great news for redstone engineers. Your choice is saved on the block entity itself, meaning that even after you reload the world, your automated systems will respect the previously selected output. No more surprise items popping out of your automated setups.
Smelting and Smithing Integration
Polymorph+ is not limited to the crafting grid. Furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers all get the same selector above their output slot. If you have multiple mods that turn the same ore into different ingots, you can decide which one you get. The choice is saved on the block, so your smelting array stays consistent. Smithing tables are covered too. When a smithing transform matches more than one recipe, the selector appears next to the result slot, letting you choose the exact upgrade you want.
User Experience and Quality of Life Features
The mod is built with convenience in mind. If you have more than seven conflicting recipes, the selector becomes scrollable. You can use your mouse wheel or the side arrows to navigate through the options. There is also a pinned panel feature. Right-click the open arrow to dock the selector for the entire session, and left-click to unpin it. The pin state is saved to a config file, so your preference sticks between game sessions.
For new users, a first-run tutorial appears with four hint bubbles in English and French. They auto-dismiss after eight seconds, so they do not get in the way. The mod also has compatibility with JEI and REI, though it is still a work in progress. The fill button in JEI and the auto-craft button in REI keep your previous selection on click. Manual selection through the Polymorph+ selector works flawlessly.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Polymorph+ is available for both NeoForge and Fabric. The stable version is for Minecraft 1.21.11, which is the recommended build for everyday play. There are also beta builds for Minecraft 26 and newer. Keep in mind that these are experimental, as the game loaders themselves are still in beta. If you decide to test those builds, always back up your worlds before loading them. The mod also includes a command, /polymorph conflicts, which scans all crafting, smelting, blasting, smoking, and smithing recipes. It writes a list of detected conflicts to the logs folder, which is handy for modpack developers.
How to Install Polymorph+ for Minecraft
Installing the mod is straightforward. First, make sure you have the correct loader installed for your Minecraft version, either NeoForge or Fabric. Then, download Polymorph+ from a trusted mod repository. Drop the JAR file into your mods folder and launch the game. That is all there is to it. If you are looking for a more streamlined approach, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Polymorph+, pulling the correct version for your loader automatically and handling updates so you always play on the latest build. It is a convenient way to manage your entire mod collection without touching file folders.
Troubleshooting and Tips
- Always match the mod version to your Minecraft version. Using a mismatched build can cause crashes.
- If you are on a server, the mod needs to be installed on both the client and the server for full functionality.
- Check the logs folder after running the conflicts command to see which recipes clash in your pack.
- Remember to back up your worlds before switching to beta builds.
