Patience
by 333
Patience turns instant crafting into a timed process, where clicking the output slot starts a delay before the item appears.
What it does
Crafting time workstations replace instant results with a deliberate wait. A click on an output slot begins a countdown, and the result arrives only after the countdown ends. Progress appears as a visual overlay with sound feedback. Fabric API is required on every loader. The mod runs on client and server, so both the server and each player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
The base delay scales with the number of ingredients, the stack multipliers and global settings, and it can be set per container, per ingredient, per output or per recipe. Creative mode bypasses the delay. Clayworks, Cloth Config API, Cold Sweat, Curios API, EMI, Easel Does It!, Galosphere, Hexerei, InvMove, Inventorio, Mod Menu, Sawmill and Woodworks are optional and can be installed alongside it. The config is synced to clients when they join, and it reloads without a restart.
Key features
Timed crafting output
A click on the output slot begins a countdown, and the result appears only once that countdown has finished.
Layered delay settings
Delays can be scaled by mod, item, tag, recipe type or specific recipe ID, with multipliers that apply per container or per ingredient.
Movement interrupts crafting
Moving during a craft either cancels it outright or drains its progress, depending on whether progress decay is enabled.
Optional skill check
A success zone appears mid-craft, and clicking the output slot inside it finishes early, while a miss adds a time penalty.
Hunger and experience effects
Completed crafts add exhaustion, crafting speed falls when hunger drops below a threshold, and experience level increases speed through a custom attribute.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want crafting to take time and server owners who want to tune recipe pacing. Clients and servers both need the mod, and Fabric API must be installed with it.
How it compares
Unstable Workstations! is server-side only, with files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, and it is not open source. Patience, by contrast, needs both client and server and uses the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 builds.
