Better Auto Crafter

This makes autocrafting as easy as it can be. Works with most storage mods. Just download it and use it!

How to use?

The Better Auto-Crafter has a UI to set a crafting recipe. When triggered to crafts gets the recipe ingredients from connected inventories automatically and outputs the result into a connected inventory. To do this it needs to be configured to pull items from a side of the block and push to another (or even the same side). Multiple input and output faces can be set-up as shown below.

This can be configured in detail in the other settings tab with the following options:

Match NBT: It can be turned on/off to check for nbt for crafting recipes like enchantments or item damage.

Redstone: It can be controlled by different redstone controls such as Constant for continuous triggering while redstone powered, Inverted for the same while not redstone powered and execute individual crafts per redstone trigger (On Powered).

Input/Output Priority: It can either pull/push items with preference for a specific block face, or simply use round robin for using multiple inventories equally.

Safety stopping

When the output inventories can't fit any more items the crafts stop automatically, unlike vanilla crafters. This obviously also happens when the input inventories don't have the necessary input items, allowing for easy passive crafting without bothering about none of the following: wasting resources, detecting craft availability, requiring digital storage computing and requesting, or item stocking the crafter since it automatically gathers the resources from your existing inventories.

Usage with other mods

Some example cases with other mods for easy autocrafting are described below. If there is some incompatiblity with some mod comment it in this project comments, do not bother other mod creators.

Storage Drawers and similar mods

Using the input/output face connecting to a controller or IO to automatically uncraft your planks from and to the network. Just set it up in your tree farms and have a constant supply of planks forever!

Refined Storage auto-stocking

This set-up uses a detector (or a level emitter) to give a redstone signal depending on stock of a certain item.

An interface supplies the items to the better auto crafter and additionally gives an output inventory to it. This alone allows the better auto crafter to pull items from the network and back into the network without cables or having to keep a certain stock of ingredients. If the ingredients necessary are not present the craft doesn't happen.

AE2 Auto stocking with drawers

A set-up can be made for digital storage to keep a stock amount in storage while the items to craft it are present. An interface is used to keep stock of the items needed to craft the recipe, and a drawer is used to auto-stop the auto crafting when fully filled. When the torches are taken out more are crafted.

Setup:

Crafting:

Stock keeping happening when the stock goes below a certain level, new crafts start automatically.

Try the mod, it works very cleanly and easily! It is not planned to port to other version nor mod loaders but feel free to ask for it if you want it. Suggestions are also accepted.
