Automated Workstations
by Amronos
Automated Workstations adds vanilla-themed workstations that process items automatically, starting with an automatic smithing table, and a redstone signal makes them eject their results.
What it does
Each workstation takes items from containers and blocks such as hoppers, droppers, crafters and other smithing tables placed in front of it, and outputs the finished result into a container. Input slots can be disabled separately, and a comparator reads a signal from the output so the state of the machine can be checked. When a redstone signal reaches a workstation, it ejects the result it has already obtained from its input slots, which allows the same item flow to be controlled from circuits.
The mod targets 1.21 and 1.21.1, with files for both versions and Fabric API required as a dependency on each loader that uses it. Automated Workstations runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Automatic smithing table
An automatic version of the smithing table processes upgrade and trim recipes without a player at the block.
Separately disabled inputs
Each input slot can be turned off on its own, so a workstation only accepts the items the builder wants it to take.
Comparator output
A comparator placed beside a workstation reads the signal from its output, so a build can detect when a result is ready.
Redstone ejection
A redstone signal makes a workstation push out the result it has obtained, and any items remaining in its inputs.

Use cases
Automated item flow
Hoppers or droppers feed a workstation, and a container placed in front of it collects the finished items.
Who it’s for: Players building automated farms, item factories or redstone machines in survival worlds, and server owners who want processing that runs without manual crafting.
How it compares
Convenient Containers is a server-side only mod for Fabric and NeoForge, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11. Remote Access is client-side only, licensed under the MIT License and covers 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it changes nothing on the server. Better Crafter (for Fabric) is server-side only, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and built for 1.21.4 only.
