List-Based Crafting
by Nhbybnb
List-Based Crafting changes how crafting recipes are matched, so a recipe is satisfied by its required ingredients rather than by their exact arrangement in the grid.
What it does
Instead of checking a fixed pattern of slots, List-Based Crafting replaces the traditional shaped crafting system with an ingredient-based approach. Any arrangement of the needed ingredients on the crafting grid completes a recipe, as long as every required item is in the grid. Recipes from vanilla and from other mods are supported automatically, preserving the ingredient counts they define. The mod needs Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files target 26.2 only, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Position-independent recipes
Ingredients can sit in any slot of the grid, so the layout of a recipe no longer decides whether it succeeds.
Ingredient counts respected
Each recipe is matched by the items and quantities it requires, keeping the counts that the original recipes define.
Vanilla and modded recipes
Recipes from the game and from other mods are handled without extra setup, so players are not asked to memorize crafting patterns.
