Autocrafter
by DeLaRosaPlay
AutoCrafter adds a Crafter-style block to Forge for 1.20.1, letting players automate crafting with redstone and hoppers.
What it does
AutoCrafter adds a block that works like the vanilla Crafter, and it is available on Forge for 1.20.1. Ingredients are placed on a standard 3x3 grid, and a redstone signal activates the block to craft an item automatically. Hoppers can feed ingredients into the block, which makes it possible to build compact item production lines without manual input.
Items are distributed one by one across the enabled input slots in round-robin order, with empty slots filled before stacking takes place. Each of the nine input slots can be enabled or disabled individually, and disabled slots accept any item that is part of a crafting recipe. The mod is a Technology mod in the Game mechanics category, and the Forge file is for 1.20.1 only.
AutoCrafter runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, with a single Forge file dated 2026-03-08.
Key features
Crafter-style crafting
The block brings the behavior of the vanilla Crafter to the 1.20.1 Forge version of the game.
Toggleable input slots
Each of the nine input slots can be enabled or disabled separately to control which items the block accepts.
Redstone activation
A redstone signal triggers the block, which then crafts the matching recipe automatically.
Hopper feeding
Hoppers can supply ingredients to the block, so output can run continuously from connected storage.
Round-robin distribution
Incoming items are spread one at a time across enabled slots, filling empty slots before stacking.

How it compares
Creative Crafter is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, open source under the MIT License and also client and server. Crafter God covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and is client and server under All rights reserved, not open source. Revert 23w46a is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, for 1.20.3 – 1.21.4, so it is not an alternative for a 1.20.1 client.
