Clientside Crafting
by alchemyyy
Clientside Crafting changes how crafting table results appear, predicting them on the client so the menu does not wait on the server.
What it does
The mod targets lag in crafting menus. Normally a crafting table waits for the server to send back the result of the grid, which can make the menu feel slow on a busy or distant server. Clientside Crafting works out the result locally from the local recipe manager and shows it before the server reply arrives.
Predicted outputs also follow the recipe book state, the feature flags and the limited crafting gamerule, so the preview stays within the same boundaries as the server. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for the single game version 1.21.1, and the environment is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Predicted crafting results
The result of a crafting table grid is calculated on the client and displayed before the server confirms it.
Faster crafting menus
Opening a crafting menu no longer stalls while it waits for the server to respond, which reduces lag in that screen.
Recipe book and game rule support
The preview honors recipe book settings, active feature flags and the limited crafting gamerule.
Fix for missing level access
When a crafting menu opens before the player has usable level access, the mod still displays the predicted output.

Easy Crafting Table is a server-side only option for 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and open source. Clientside Crafting differs by running on the client alone and covering only 1.21.1.
