About this project
What does Crafting Tweaks add?
This mod adds buttons to many supported Crafting Tables allowing you to quickly rotate, balance or clear the crafting grid.
Additionally, holding shift on the balance button you can also quickly spread a single stack over the entire grid, right-clicking the result slot will craft an entire stack, and there's a keybind for compressing stacks of items to its 3x3 or 2x2 recipe through a key press.
This mod requires Balm, which must be installed alongside the mod.
- Rotate the outer circle of the crafting grid
- Balance the materials in the crafting grid to even stack sizes
- Clear the crafting grid into your inventory
- Transfer items into the grid by holding the W key while clicking them (Shift+W transfers all of type)
- Instantly compress or decompress blocks into their block/ingot forms through a keybind
- Right-click the result slot to craft a full stack
- Supports many modded Crafting Tables
- Bi-optional. Only those who want to use it need to install it, and if the server doesn't have it installed, it will still work for people who do have it installed.
