Predictable Crafting
by apelsin
Predictable Crafting changes the crafting table screen so the output slot shows how many items can be made from the materials in the inventory.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric addition that changes how the crafting interface displays results. It calculates the maximum number of items a recipe can produce from the materials available in the player's inventory, then shows that quantity on the result slot. Output stacks also get a visual rendering change so the count is readable at a glance. The author describes the calculation as matching how the vanilla crafting table works out its output quantities.
Predictable Crafting requires Fabric API and uses YACL for its configuration screen. It is published for Minecraft 1.21.11, 26.1 and 26.1.1, with the latest Fabric file, 1.3, built for 26.1.1 and dated 2026-04-06. Because it only runs on the client, a server does not need to install it, and players in multiplayer can use it alone.
The source code and issue tracker are public. The project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
