I like the idea of combining the crafting systems. The old pixelmon system was ok, but i feel like it was too focused on apricorns, since all balls were just different color combinations, so the weakest and the strongest balls were all just a base, a button and three apricorns. And since you can make apricorn farms, and get infinite of every color, noone would ever have to use any balls other than ultraballs, since they have the best catch rate across the board, and inventory is limited.
So id suggest to use the colored apricorns for the 7 ball types from the second gen, with the metal base, and button.
using any apricorn with a tumble stone makes a budget old timey pokeball
for other types, id make completely new recipes for the discs (keeping the metal base and button crafting recipe)
like using red dye on an iron or aluminum disc would make a red pokeball disc, adding lapis to that, upgrades it to a great ball disc, and maybe blazerods upgrade that further to ultraball discs.
prismarine shards could be used to craft dive ball discs, using gold could give luxury ball discs, spiderwebs could be an ingredient for net ball discs. timer ball discs could require minecraft clocks.
also of note is that the new "heavy ball" is different from the heavy ball we know, the modern heavy ball made from black apricorns is called heavy, cause it works best on heavy pokemon, but the old timey heavy ball is called "heavy" cause the ball itself is heavier, and only seems to have a heightened catch rate when used outside of battle.
