Super Crafting
by XioYim
Super Crafting adds a 5×5 Super Crafting Table, a container block for recipes that go beyond the vanilla 3×3 grid, on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
The block holds up to 25 ingredient slots and works like a chest for storage. Recipes are defined in JSON files, and the table supports item tags, stack counts and NBT matching, plus custom ingredient positions. Optional mirrored recipe matching is available, and the crafting duration can be set in the config. A built-in crafting animation plays while a craft runs.
Recipes can also fire commands. A command can run when crafting starts, repeatedly at a chosen tick interval during the craft, or immediately when it completes, and each trigger may hold several entries. The repeating mode works much like a Repeating Command Block. Running these triggers requires permission level 4. Ten example recipes are included as templates for writing new ones.
The mod is aimed at modpack makers and map creators who want custom crafting mechanics. JEI is needed for full integration, and the mod still loads without it. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later, and files exist for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge only.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Modpack authors, map makers and server owners who build custom crafting systems. Players who only want a bigger crafting grid can use it too, with JEI installed for recipe lookups.
How it compares
Proximity Crafting is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on client and server for Forge 1.20.1, but it is a crafting access mod, not a larger grid. Craftable Command Block is server-side only, unlike Super Crafting, and carries an All rights reserved license. Create: Smart Crafter is another Forge 1.20.1 option that runs on client and server, under All rights reserved.
