Panda Crafter
by TreeOfSelf
Panda Crafter adds a simpler auto-crafter to Fabric servers, built from a dropper placed over a Crafter block.
What it does
A player crafts the block by placing a dropper over a Crafter block, and the result looks like a dropper. Recipe patterns go into the dropper, and a storage block placed behind it, such as a chest, supplies the ingredients. Powered by redstone, the block produces the recipe result from the stored items. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it requires Fabric API. Its only published files target 1.21.11 – 26.3, with 2.1+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest, released 2026-10-04 under the MIT License and open source.
