Structured Crafting
by rubensworks
Structured Crafting lets a single block build recipes from nine input blocks or inventories placed around it, instead of a crafting table in a player's hand.
What it does
The mod adds one new block, the Structured Crafter. When it receives a redstone signal, it reads the structure around itself and checks whether the nine blocks in its base, read in the direction of its arrow, match a crafting recipe. Recipe detection handles different positions and rotations of the input blocks, and inputs can also come from chests and other inventories. When a match is found, the input items are consumed and the output is placed or dropped into the world, so systems can be built around automated crafting.
Required dependency: Cyclops Core, a library that must be installed on every loader alongside this mod. Optional dependency: Forge Config API Port. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 19 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3. The code is MIT licensed and open source, and the mod collects anonymized startup data unless the config file disables it, following Minecraft's snooper settings.
Key features
Structure-based crafting
The block reads the nine positions around it and crafts when they form a recipe the game already knows.
Redstone trigger
A redstone signal makes the block attempt a craft, so crafting can be automated with ordinary circuits.
Inventory inputs
Chests and other inventories can supply ingredients in place of loose blocks, which suits storage-fed systems.
Multiple outputs
Recipes with several output items are supported, and inventories can capture the results instead of dropping them.

This block will try to craft every second on the condition that it has an active redstone signal. This first image below shows an example on how…
