Variant Crafting Tables
by xanthian
With Variant Crafting Tables, each plank type in the game gets its own crafting table, and the vanilla table is renamed to Oak.
What it does
Each wood type that has planks in the game receives a matching crafting table, where support has been provided by the wood mod. The textures of these tables are drawn by hand from the planks of their wood type, so each one looks like the material it is made from. Un-crafting any variant returns it to the vanilla crafting table, which serves as a fallback if something goes wrong.
The mod also checks whether compatible mods are installed before loading its variants, so the log stays free of errors when a wood mod is missing. When Better Nether is present, the Warped table and the other nether variants are switched off to prevent duplicate crafting tables. Every texture is compressed to keep the file size small.
The mod runs on Fabric and Quilt for game versions 1.20 – 1.20.4, with five release versions in that range. Client and server must both run it, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Crafting table per wood type
A new crafting table is added for each plank type that the game includes, from the matching wood.
Hand-made textures
Each table texture is drawn from the planks of its wood type, so the block matches its material.
Duplicate prevention
Variants from other mods are disabled when a compatible mod is also installed, so no table appears twice.
Un-crafting to vanilla
Any variant can be un-crafted back to the vanilla crafting table if an issue appears.
Renamed oak table
The vanilla crafting table is renamed to Oak and recoloured slightly to suit the oak wood type.
