Aerell Crafter
by fernaerell
Aerell Crafter changes how the Crafter block decides when to craft, so it runs only when its template matches a valid item setup.
What it does
The mod enhances the vanilla Crafter block with more consistent logic. The block activates only when the template holds the correct number of items, and when conditions are not met it cancels the update instead of crafting. The aim is to prevent accidental, unwanted crafting caused by an incomplete or invalid template. The server must run it, while players may add it. Published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 7 release versions on 1.20.2 – 1.21.11.
