EasyAutoCrafting
by Domi
EasyAutoCrafting is a Fabric mod that lets players build automatic crafting machines from vanilla blocks, using droppers, hoppers, comparators and a crafting table.
What it does
The mod sets up automatic crafting with a crafting table placed next to a dropper. Two methods are offered: a simpler pattern mode, where recipe items placed inside the dropper act only as reference and are not consumed, and a more advanced immediate mode, which crafts from the inventory behind the dropper as soon as a redstone pulse arrives. Hoppers feed crafting droppers one item per slot, and comparators reading a dropper's output show a signal strength equal to the number of filled slots.
The mod was inspired by the auto crafting feature of gnembon's Carpet Mod and is built to work with vanilla client compatible setups. Both changes apply only to droppers touching a crafting table. Output placement can be set to a front inventory, where crafted items and remainders such as empty buckets or bottles drop in without spilling. A one minute showcase video is available. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the server alone, so clients need nothing installed.
Key features
Pattern crafting mode
Recipe items placed inside the dropper form the pattern, and a redstone pulse crafts from the inventory behind it.
Immediate crafting mode
A second mode crafts as soon as a pulse arrives, drawing from the inventory behind the dropper and feeding hoppers as needed.
Comparator output signal
A comparator reading a crafting dropper reports a strength equal to the count of filled output slots, so machines can be monitored.
Remainder handling
Crafting remainders such as empty buckets and bottles can be placed into a front inventory, and output fills the slots in order.

EasyAutoCrafting improves automation in Minecraft. It allows you to construct automatic crafting machines with vanilla blocks. When installed on a server, clients don't need the mod!
