Craftomatic

by OffKilterMC

Craftomatic is a Fabric block that crafts new items from a template item, with a choice of recipes and inputs for each craft.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.2 – 1.20.4

What it does

Craftomatic crafts items automatically from a template item placed in its left slot. The template tells the block what to make, and the grid updates to show the ingredients the recipe needs. Two types of crafter are being tested: a passive one that takes a hopper beneath it to collect items, and an active one that acts like a dropper. The author notes that it is unclear whether both types will be kept.

Where an item can be crafted several ways, arrows above and below the template let a player pick the recipe and choose which inputs to supply. Scrolling over the template switches between recipes, and multiple items can be used in cases such as dyes and arrows. Dropping an item into the left slot shows ghost items for what the recipe expects. The block keeps crafting until the remaining items are gone, and some recipes leave items behind, such as empty honey bottles from honey blocks, which flow out the bottom.

Installation needs Fabric API. Craftomatic runs on client and server and is published for Fabric only, across 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 1.0b2 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Template-based crafting

    The block crafts new items based on the template item placed in the left slot.

  2. Recipe selection

    Scrolling over the template switches between recipes, and arrows pick the ingredients to provide when an item has several recipes.

  3. Ghost item preview

    The left slot shows the items the chosen recipe expects, so the required inputs are visible before crafting.

  4. Leftover items

    Recipes that leave items behind, such as empty honey bottles, output them to flow out of the block's bottom.
