Autocrafter Early
Autocrafter Early brings a Crafter-style block to Fabric builds for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, so players on those versions can automate crafting grids.
What it does
The mod adds a block that fills a crafting grid from a chosen pattern, letting players automate recipes in their 1.20.x worlds. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for the game versions 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and the latest file was released on 2024-05-04. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Automated crafting grid
A block that places items into a grid and crafts from a pattern the player sets up.
Redstone-driven output
The block can be triggered by redstone signals, so a crafting chain can run without manual input.
Adjusted tick cooldown
The crafting cooldown is tuned to the tick system of the 1.20.x line, so the block crafts at a steady pace.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
This mod adds the Crafter block from the 1.21 update to 1.20.x. 1.21 is not out yet, so I made this mod to appease those who want this now (mainly me). My implementation does not include the tick cooldown change.
