Bigger Crafting Tables
This mod expands crafting possibilities in Minecraft by adding enlarged workbenches: 5×5, 7×7, and 9×9 slots.
Why Do We Need Larger Crafting Tables?
Many players wonder: why additional crafting tables when there are mods like Avaritia? The answer is simple — Dire Crafting Table requires enormous resources to craft, making it inaccessible in the early game stages. With Bigger Crafting Tables, you can create complex recipes for beginner players without forcing them through painful grinding.
Technical Advantages
Standard Minecraft crafting tables work inefficiently — every time an item is placed, the game checks ALL existing recipes. During quick crafting (for example, shift+click to create an entire stack), this causes noticeable "freezes" since the check is repeated multiple times.
Bigger Crafting Tables uses an innovative "Recipe Key" system that identifies recipes based on width, height, and crafting size. This significantly reduces CPU load and speeds up the item creation process.
