Craftle

Craftle

Wordle type crafting puzzle

Every day there is one secret crafting recipe, and it's the same recipe for everyone. You get ten guesses to work out what it is: place ingredients into the 3x3 grid, press Craft, and every cell you filled comes back colour-coded.

How to play

Run /craftle. Pick an ingredient from the palette, click the grid to place it, right-click a cell to clear it, then press Craft to submit a guess.

Each cell of your guess comes back as one of three colours:

Empty cells give nothing away, and recipes smaller than 3x3 are always anchored to the top-left of the grid.

Every attempt you make stays on screen as a colour-coded mini grid down the sides of the board, so you can cross-reference all ten guesses. Your last attempt also stays on the crafting grid itself, so your next guess can be a one-cell tweak rather than a rebuild.

Commands

Features

• A global daily. The puzzle is derived from the calendar day, so every server running the same Minecraft version has the same daily. It resets at midnight UTC. !
• Chat announcements. Solve it and the server announces it — Player solved today's Craftle in 4/10! Burn all ten guesses and it announces that too, without giving the answer away to anyone still playing.
• Streaks and stats. Games played, games won, current streak and best streak, shown on the board when you finish.
• Practice mode that never deals you today's daily, so it can't spoil it. !
• High contrast mode for colourblind players, in the help page — swaps green/orange for a blue/orange pair.
• Nothing to cheat with. The server holds the answer and grades your guesses; the answer is never sent to your client until the game is over.
• Picks up your recipes. Puzzles come from the server's own recipe list, so datapack recipes built from the ingredient palette are eligible too.
• Saves your progress. Log out mid-puzzle and pick up exactly where you left off.

Installation

Craftle must be installed on both the client and the server, along with Fabric API.

1. Install the Fabric loader for Minecraft 26.2
2. Drop the Craftle jar and the Fabric API jar into your mods folder
3. In singleplayer it just works. On a server, install it on both sides.

Players without the mod installed simply can't open the board — the command tells them what's missing, and nothing else breaks for them.
