About this project
What does HP's Portable Workstations add?
Portable Workstations adds a hold-to-open workstation wheel for accessing vanilla workstations without placing them in the world.
Unlock a workstation by right-clicking while holding the matching vanilla workstation block. Once unlocked, hold the default R key to open the workstation wheel, move your mouse to select a workstation, then use:
- Left Click: Open the selected workstation
- Right Click: Retrieve the workstation
- The key binding can be changed in Minecraft's Controls menu

Features
Portable workstations use the original vanilla workstation menus and recipes.
Furnaces, blast furnaces, and brewing stands preserve their contents and internal progress. Their input items, fuel, output items, smelting progress, and brewing data are retained when the workstation is retrieved.
Anvils support normal, chipped, and damaged variants and follow the vanilla anvil damage mechanics. The portable anvil can become damaged or eventually break just like a normal anvil.
The portable enchanting table supports up to 15 bookshelf levels. After unlocking the enchanting table, use bookshelves while holding them to add enchanting power. Bookshelves are consumed when added and cannot be retrieved.
The portable Ender Chest opens the player's personal Ender Chest inventory.
Player Data
Unlocked workstations are stored as player data and persist through respawning, changing dimensions, and rejoining the world or server.
Only one workstation of each type can be unlocked at a time.
