LazyCraft
LazyCraft is a client-side crafting helper that lets the recipe book craft missing ingredients and chains of recipes in one action.
What it does
When a recipe needs ingredients the player lacks, LazyCraft crafts those intermediate items first, working through recursive chains so the final result comes out in a single step. Double-clicking a recipe in the recipe book places the crafted result into the inventory automatically. Recursive crafting also works through the recipe book itself, and the crafting table can draw from the player's inventory.
The mod supports modded crafting recipes and additional crafting stations, and it offers configuration options for how its features behave. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need to install it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and builds cover 1.21.2 – 26.3.
