Mason is a datapack for Minecraft 1.20 that aims to reduce inventory clutter by simplifying block drops and recipes.
This repository functions as a datapack that can be dropped into a Minecraft world's "datapacks" folder. Once placed into the datapacks folder and once the world is reloaded, it will replace all vanilla block drops and recipes.
This datapack uses scripts written in Python paired with spreadsheets in CSV format to generate almost all the data files needed to replace vanilla block drops and recipes.
The source spreadsheets with usage notes are provided on Google Sheets at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e1b9jBrNWyr_0TeIGuodv0pg3ZAfBQGJ3JTmPyZcpbY/edit?usp=sharing. You can edit these for personal use via "File > Make a copy." Each tab can be downloaded in CSV format via "File > Download > Comma Separated Values (.csv)."

To read block drops from data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks and store them as sources/loot_tables/blocks_to_csv.csv, run scripts/loot_tables/blocks_to_csv.py.
To overwrite data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks with block drops from sources/loot_tables/blocks.csv, run scripts/loot_tables/blocks.py.
This datapack is designed to support Loot Table Output Specification (aka ltos) by gibbsly (https://github.com/gibbsly/ltos). Support is not enabled by default. To add support to all block drops currently in data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks, run scripts/loot_tables/ltos.py.
To read recipes from data/minecraft/recipes and data/mason/recipes and store them as sources/recipes/recipes_to_csv.csv, run scripts/recipes/recipes_to_csv.py.
To overwrite data/mason/recipes with recipes from sources/recipes/recipes.csv, run scripts/recipes/recipes.py.
Compsogbrickus - Datapack Creator. I wrote pretty much everything here!
Misode - Recipe and Block Drop structure templates. It would have been much, much more difficult to create standardized templates without the tools at https://misode.github.io/.
Asometric - Inspiration! This datapack was originally built to extend a handwritten collection of block loot tables created for the map Crimson Bay's Treasure. You can check out his work at https://www.crowdford.com/.
Additional Credits - Gibbsly, for putting up with my confusion over ltos.
