Visual Workbench
Items stay inside of crafting tables and are also rendered on top. It's really fancy!
Quick answer
Which Visual Workbench release should I use?
Visual Workbench [NEOFORGE] [26.2.x] v26.2.1 targets 26.2 with NeoForge. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server. All 1 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Visual Workbench required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does Visual Workbench [NEOFORGE] [26.2.x] v26.2.1 need?
[NEOFORGE] [26.2.x] v26.2.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Puzzles Lib first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Visual Workbench add?




Visual Workbench makes items put into a crafting table stay inside. Breaking the block drops everything on the ground, just like you'd expect. Oh, and crafting ingredients as well as the resulting item are also rendered on top. Really fancy if you ask me!





⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER
⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)
⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)
⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)


If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.


🌟 Thanks to Prototik for the original idea and most of the rendering code from their RealBench mod.
🌟 Thanks to Tfarecnim for the Just Enough Items plugin code from their Crafting Station mod.
🌟 Thanks to Daomephsta from the Fabric Discord for pointing me into the right direction for supporting modded crafting tables on Fabric.
