Refined Crafter Proxy
Refined Crafter Proxy adds a proxy block and card that let Refined Storage crafters receive patterns from another linked crafter.
What it does
A crafter proxy placed in a Refined Storage network makes a crafter take patterns from another linked crafter, so one pattern can be spread across several crafters. The proxy appears in the crafting manager like a normal crafter, which lets players start crafts that run across the linked group. Refined Storage's load balancing then routes ingredients to the crafters that can work fastest, so a pattern does not need to be duplicated for each machine.
The mod also offers crafter variants whose performance characteristics differ, in the way Extra Storage adds crafters of different speeds. Its config controls the order in which crafters are matched, which affects how load balancing behaves. Refined Crafter Proxy requires Kotlin for Forge and Refined Storage, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the mod is open source.

This mod adds the crafter proxy to Refined Storage, which acts like a crafter but gets its patterns from another linked crafter. This allows you to distribute the same pattern across multiple crafters (which will automatically get load balanced by Refined Storage) without needing to duplicate the pattern. While using…
