Inventory Crafting Grid
by Lothrazar
Inventory Crafting Grid gives the player inventory screen a 3x3 crafting area, so recipes can be made without a crafting table.
What it does
Players open their inventory and craft on a 3x3 grid placed in the right-hand part of the screen, where a crafting table would normally be needed. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge and is published for 12 release versions, 1.7.10 – 26.1.2. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run the same build. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
The author notes that it works in single player and on multiplayer servers, and that it is meant for survival play. The author also reports a conflict risk with other mods and asks for reports through the issue tracker. Creative mode with the pick block button can produce odd results, according to the author, and the crafting book is noted as a known problem with JEI and Curios.
