SmartCraft

by Kakasta

SmartCraft shows a recipe viewer for items on the Fabric loader, opened by a click on an item to show how it is crafted or used.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Left-clicking an item opens its crafting recipes, covering the Crafting Table, Furnace, Smoking, Blasting and Stonecutter types. A right-click instead lists the recipes in which the item serves as an ingredient, so a player can trace where a material leads. Buttons move between several recipes or usages without leaving the screen.

Each entry lists details such as the cook time, the experience gained and the recipe type, alongside item names. The interface uses a modern layout with color highlights, and the text is arranged for quick reading. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can use it on single-player and multiplayer worlds alike.

SmartCraft is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its first file, version 1.0.0, is a beta built for 1.20.6, and the mod is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 across six release versions. It loads on the Fabric loader only, and the catalog holds no Forge or NeoForge build.

Key features

  1. Recipe lookup by click

    A left-click on an item shows the recipes that produce it, so the crafting path is visible without an external guide.

  2. Usage lookup by right-click

    A right-click lists the recipes that consume the item, which shows where an ingredient can be spent.

  3. Multiple recipe types

    Crafting Table, Furnace, Smoking, Blasting and Stonecutter recipes all appear in the same viewer.

  4. Recipe details

    Entries show cook time, experience gained, recipe type and item names next to each recipe.
