Removed features

See also: Changes from vanilla

This page lists vanilla features that Matcha Flavoured removes or disables, and features the pack itself once had but later removed. Most vanilla recipes the pack replaces are blocked through the filter in the datapack's pack.mcmeta, which hides 361 vanilla recipe files and the five vanilla advancement folders.

Removed vanilla features

Stone tools

The vanilla stone tool recipes are blocked. Progression goes from wood straight to copper. See Progression. Until 1.12.9 toolsmiths and weaponsmiths could still give stone tools as hero-of-the-village gifts; since then nothing in the pack gives them.

Hunger

The food bar is hidden, and the pack gives Saturation whenever the food level falls to 8 or lower, so the player can always sprint and food matters only for healing and effects. Until 1.12.6-alpha it also gave Hunger at 10 or more to hold the level down. See Hunger.

Natural regeneration

The natural_health_regeneration gamerule is set to false on first load. The player heals by eating. See Natural regeneration.

Item loss on death

Keep inventory is turned on when the world is first loaded and when new players join. Death costs maximum health instead. See Death.

Phantoms

The spawn_phantoms gamerule is set to false.

Rotten flesh

Zombies drop tattered leather instead. The rotten flesh item ID is reused for glow berry mash.

Enchanting table and random enchanting

The enchanting table recipe is blocked; enchantments are crafted as blessings. A broken enchanting table drops its parts. The recipe was blocked in 1.10; the developer had thought it was already blocked.

Potions and brewing

The vanilla brewing stand, fermented spider eye, glistering melon and magma cream recipes are blocked, and most potion effects come from food instead. See Brewing.

Vanilla advancements

All five vanilla advancement tabs are blocked and replaced. See Advancements.

Crafting-grid repair

The vanilla repair_item recipe is blocked; equipment is repaired in an anvil, without the experience cap. See Repairing.

Blocked vanilla recipes

Besides the above, the filter blocks the vanilla recipes for ore smelting (replaced by kiln and blast furnace recipes), the furnace, smoker, blast furnace, campfire and smithing table, iron, gold, diamond and netherite equipment, rails, hoppers, buckets, cauldrons and other iron items, food such as bread, cake, cookies, stews and pumpkin pie, dyes, carpets, banners, chiseled blocks, glazed terracotta, glass, the shulker box, bundle, TNT, ender eye, ender chest, mace, wind charge, recovery compass and more. Most have pack replacements with different ingredients. These have no recipe left at all: Enchanting Table, Pumpkin Pie, Raw Estus, Recovery Compass, Stone Axe, Stone Hoe, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Shovel, Stone Spear, Stone Sword, Suspicious Stew, Turtle Shellmet and Wind Charge.

Vanilla hero-of-the-village gifts

Since 1.12.9 every villager profession gives the pack's own hero-of-the-village gifts instead of vanilla's. The vanilla gifts were the last source of pumpkin pie (from farmers) and stone tools (from toolsmiths and weaponsmiths), whose recipes the pack blocks, so neither can be obtained any more.

Sapling and stick drops from leaves

Leaves drop neither; each sapling is crafted from one of its leaves, a recipe unlocked by picking up the matching log. Removed in 0.5-alpha.

Removed pack features

Feature	Removed in	Notes
Heart containers	0.3-alpha	Replaced by crystal hearts.
Electrum horse armor	0.4-alpha	Removed "for the time being".
Enchanting table and vanilla fire charge recipe	1.10
Old foods (squid ink pasta, golden pie, stuffed mushrooms, chicken noodle soup)	1.10	Leftover recipes from earlier versions.
Herobrine	1.10	Listed as a joke in the release notes.
Cleric splash potions of Weakness, Invisibility and Poison	1.12.1-alpha	The developer plans to remove all potion trades.
Cleaver (butcher's knife) smithing recipe	1.12.1-alpha
Estus Flask	1.12.2	First removed in 1.10 because players were abusing it, kept in 1.12, and removed for good in 1.12.2 because the developer wanted food to matter most. The unlock for its missing recipe was removed in 1.12.6-alpha, and the leftover particle trigger for drinking it in 1.12.8-beta.
Redstone particles	1.12.2
Poplar stonecutter and sapling recipes	1.12.2	Added in 1.12.1-alpha, ahead of the poplar wood type, which Minecraft 26.2 doesn't have. Both returned in 1.12.6-alpha (first in the 1.12.3 alpha for 26.3), since Minecraft 26.3 has poplar wood.
Blind cave fish and blind minnow	1.12.2	Unused fish: 1.12.1-alpha had a loot table for each, but no fishing table rolled them.
Sulfurous quartz deposit drops	1.12.8-beta	Redstone ore no longer drops sulfur and quartz: it became the fossil, which drops bones. Sulfur still comes from sulfur deposits and sulfurous hellstone, and quartz from quartz deposits.
