No Crafting Inventory
by Khaimolop
No Crafting Inventory removes the 2x2 crafting grid from the player inventory screen, so crafting happens only at a crafting table or another crafting block.
What it does
Opening the inventory no longer shows the small crafting grid, and the recipe book button that normally sits beside it is hidden too. Players who want the inventory to show only storage and equipment can use the mod to remove those elements, which leaves crafting tables and other crafting blocks as the only places to craft with the full recipe book.
The change only touches the player inventory interface. Crafting tables and other crafting blocks keep their normal grids and recipe books, so no recipes are lost. The mod is client-side only, so a player can install it alone, and a server does not need to run it. Files exist for Fabric on 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, with 1.21.1-Client as the latest build, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the source is not open source.

Forcing crafting into the world
Setups that require a crafting table for every craft can use the mod to remove the shortcut from the inventory.
Who it’s for: Players who want the inventory screen simplified, and players who prefer that crafting always takes place at a crafting table or another crafting block.
How it compares
Hide The Players is client-side only and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.19 – 1.21, so it covers a wider range but hides players rather than crafting elements. Closes recipe book is open source under the MIT License, client-side only, and published for 1.20.6 – 26.3, so it targets the recipe book instead of the inventory grid. No Recipe Book works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.18 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, which makes it the option for NeoForge installs.
