I have an idea for a datapack!!!
What if there was a progression system in minecraft where you have to find recipe books to be able to learn and use certain crafting recipes?
I know there already is a gamerule which disables crafting without knowing the recipe but for this idea to work there would have to be a way to disable getting recipes by crafting other things but having to get the books to do so.
Maybe you would not be allowed to craft advanced tools whenever you wanted to, but you would have to first find the books that contain the recipes from chests.
So for example to get a recipe for a crossbow you would first have to get its equivalent recipe book from a pillager outpost, getting better pickaxes would require you to find recipe books in mineshafts.
This could obviously apply to many other items not just tools and armour. It could also be a thing for ender chests, conduits, beacons, end crystals, etc.
You could also make this a thing to slow down the early game progression making the game a lot more challenging and slower paced. This would encourage even more exploration.
It could also work very well with multiplayer as some items could be really rare while not rare at all for others. This would create a really interesting economy system where players would trade items they cannot obtain for items the other person does not have. Maybe if it was possible they could even trade recipe books which could have some really high values.
I would love to see this idea to be turned into a datapack !!! I would do it myself but I am unfortunately really not experienced in it and dont know how to make one.
So anyone who has a lot of free time on their hands feel free to turn this into a datapack! I would be eternally grateful to them. (let me know if you make one)
Thank you for listening to my suggestion.

This sounds interesting! I can give it a try. Only problem is I think it'd be hard to balance. It'd be quite annoying to not be able to craft an iron pickaxe unless you spend hours exploring until you finally find that book. But if the chance to get it is very high, then the pack wouldn't really change anything.
And maybe it's a good idea to also allow villagers to trade and mobs to drop the recipe books?

Oh yeah I can immagine it being really tricky to balance certain items so getting recipes for them is not too hard but not too easy either.
Though I am sure i would pay off greatly if handled correctly!
