QuickBench
by Ampflower
QuickBench speeds up shift-click crafting in crafting tables by skipping the recipe matrix calculation on each click, and it runs only on the server.
What it does
Shift-clicking items in a crafting table normally triggers a full recipe matrix calculation for every stack moved. QuickBench avoids that repeated work and reduces the network traffic the process generates, which is the optimisation the mod is built around. It reintroduces the ability to learn recipes by mimicking vanilla behaviour, so it can be used with vanilla crafting tables and with modded tables that use vanilla classes.
Because it is server-side only, the server alone needs the mod and players join without installing anything, while every player still benefits from the faster crafting. The crafting output slot works with mods that broke with FastBench, and the mod is based on the Fast Workbench and FastBench lineage for Fabric and Forge. Files cover Fabric and Quilt for 1.17 – 1.21.1, and the code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Faster shift-click crafting
Shift-clicking items in a crafting table skips the repeated recipe matrix calculation, so moving many stacks is quicker.
Lower network traffic
Crafting updates generate less traffic between server and players, which reduces load on busy servers.
Vanilla recipe learning
Recipes are learned by mimicking vanilla behaviour, which lets the mod work with vanilla and modded crafting tables.
Output slot compatibility
The crafting output slot works with mods that broke with FastBench, so existing setups keep functioning.

How it compares
Crafting Table Plus is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 26.2, with client and server both running it. Portable Crafting UI is server-side only and open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, but it targets Fabric alone for 1.21 – 1.21.5. Unstable Workstations! is server-side only, not open source, and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, which is a different approach to crafting stations.
