RPG Crafting
by TheRedBrain
RPG Crafting replaces the grid-based crafting table with a recipe system where players pick a recipe from a list of available ones and choose their ingredients.
What it does
Instead of arranging items in a grid, a crafting recipe in RPG Crafting is chosen from the list of recipes the player can currently make. Ingredients are drawn by default from the player's inventory, and several recipes can share the same ingredients, so the choice of result depends on what is selected. Each recipe uses a simple ingredient list, similar in structure to the stonecutter recipe type, and a single input slot can accept several item types.
The system is an addition or a replacement for traditional crafting, and the mod adds several blocks that open different screens for interacting with recipes. Ingredient amounts are restricted, and some recipes require unique patterns. The author describes the design as inspired by survival games such as Valheim and Terraria. RPG Crafting needs Fabric API, Fzzy Config and Slot Customization API, and Inventory Size Attributes is optional. It is open source under the MIT License, is published for Fabric only, and targets 1.21.1 with 1.3.0 as the latest file, released on 2025-09-24. It runs on client and server.
