The Big Bench Theory
by Platymemo
The Big Bench Theory is a Fabric library that extends the crafting grid to a larger 9x9 layout for mods and datapacks that need it.
What it does
Crafting recipes on Fabric are normally limited to a 3x3 grid, and this library lets other mods register recipes on a 9x9 grid instead. Client and server both need it installed, so servers and every player run it together. Builds cover 1.16.2 – 1.18.1, with 1.2.0 for 1.18.1 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and open source.
Key features

Recipes can use a 9x9 layout of ingredients instead of the standard 3x3 arrangement.
Library for other mods
