Autocrafters
by iluha168
Autocrafters adds Crafter-style blocks that craft items on a redstone signal, so hoppers and droppers can feed them without manual input.
What it does
Each AutoCrafter works like a manual workbench but is driven by redstone. When it receives a signal, it crafts the recipe set in its grid and places the result into the inventory in front of it. Item-transfer blocks such as hoppers and droppers can feed ingredients into an AutoCrafter, and hoppers can pull its input items back out. Redstone comparators can read its state as well, and several players can open the same GUI.
The mod also adds counterparts for other manual workbenches, such as the loom and the grindstone, so those jobs can be automated the same way. The default output amount follows the non-empty slots, and crafting can still be done by hand whenever a player wants to. Precise machine work is possible by applying more layers of redstone than the hand-operated default of 15.
Autocrafters requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is open source under the MIT License. The author notes that AutoCrafters integrates well with AE2 and is welcome in modpacks.

And yes, you are more than welcome to use this mod in modpacks. For example, AutoCrafters integrate nicely with AE2. Precise machine work can apply more layers than doing so by hand (15 by default)!
