VCFix

by Nischhelm

VCFix corrects a set of behaviours in the Carpentry Bench of Varied Commodities, covering shift clicks, number keys, leftover items and recipe matching.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2

What it does

VCFix changes how the Carpentry Bench screen handles common actions. Shift-clicking an item from the hotbar or main inventory now moves the stack into the crafting grid on the first attempt. Pressing number keys inside the bench works the way it does elsewhere, and leftover items are returned to the player's inventory when the screen is closed instead of being dropped on the ground. Recipe matching is also changed so it no longer runs lazily, which removes an unexpected behaviour that could be exploited with some special recipes.

The bench's recipes get their own section in JEI, shown larger than the vanilla 3x3 grid can display. A JEI compatibility layer is included, and a separate addon carries the fixes for Varied Commodities. The mod depends on FermiumBooter, Varied Commodities and JEI. It is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, with 1.0.4 as the latest file dated 2026-09-05. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Shift-click fix

    Shift-clicking a hotbar or inventory stack moves it into the crafting grid on the first try.

  2. Leftover items returned

    Items left in the grid when the bench is closed go back to the player's inventory before anything is dropped.

  3. Number key handling

    Number keys work inside the Carpentry Bench screen, where they previously stopped working.

  4. Recipe matching

    Recipes are matched eagerly rather than lazily, which removes an exploitable edge case with special recipes.

  5. Larger JEI section

    Carpentry Bench recipes appear in their own JEI section, sized for the bench's 4x4 grid.
