material_plannner
by ghlim
material_plannner is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that helps players work out, collect and prepare the materials a building project needs.
What it does
Planning a large build in survival often means counting blocks by hand and running back and forth to a chest. The mod is meant to keep that counting in one place, so the materials needed for a project can be calculated and managed before construction starts. It is aimed at survival players who want to keep building as the main activity rather than spend most of their time gathering.
The mod includes a dedicated QuantityWorkbench, a workbench that crafts only an exact number of items. A required quantity can be typed in, pasted as a number, or adjusted with the mouse wheel. JEI integration lets recipes be inserted directly from the recipe view. Material Planner is listed as included in modpacks, and the author asks that modified versions not be redistributed or reuploaded separately.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, on the beta channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
