ConvenientCrafting
by Nero-os
With ConvenientCrafting, a player can press G and craft from a compact panel that draws materials from the inventory and from open containers.
What it does
ConvenientCrafting is a lightweight NeoForge utility in the Management category, aimed at routine crafting, looking up recipes, tidying storage and quick survival tasks. The compact crafting panel can be opened anywhere and works without placing a crafting table first, drawing ingredients from the inventory and from supported storage bags and containers. Nested crafting simulates the whole recipe chain before anything is made, and when the final item cannot be made, a scrollable missing-material tree shows the raw materials still needed.
Out of the box, the crafting panel handles several vanilla workstation recipe types, and each type gets its own list, so a stonecutter recipe never appears alongside a crafting table recipe that uses similar ingredients. The mod keeps the vanilla feel intact and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge across two game versions, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, and the latest is 1.6.0 for 1.21.2. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Crafting without a workstation
Recipes can be crafted from the panel anywhere, with no crafting table placed beforehand.
Recipe search and filters
The search box matches recipe names, ids, mods, tooltips, tags and ingredients, with JEI-style advanced filters and an option to show only craftable recipes.
Batch and one-click crafting
Items can be crafted once or in batches, and sorting inventories and containers takes a compact one-click button.
Recipe lookup hotkeys
Displayed items can be clicked with hotkeys to look up their recipes and usages, and they can be interacted with directly from the recipe list.

How it compares
Craft From Here is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, client and server, under the MIT License and open source, so it covers a narrower set of crafting actions. Portable Structure Containers is also NeoForge for 1.21.1 with the same environment and MIT License, and it focuses on portable containers rather than crafting. ConvenientCrafting spans 1.21.1 and 1.21.2 and is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
