Low Tech Crafting

The Low Tech Crafting mod adds just one new block to the game - an improved crafting table. This block functions similarly to the standard crafting table from vanilla Minecraft, but has an important advantage: it features a persistent inventory that is maintained through the use of BlockEntity.

The main purpose of this crafting table is the ability to automate processes. Various devices such as hoppers, pipes, and other mechanisms can be connected to it for automatic item input and extraction.

Automation Features:

• When automatically loading items through hoppers and similar devices, the maximum stack size for each crafting grid slot is limited to one item
• The slot for finished items is the first one during automatic extraction, which simplifies the process - no filtering by output item type is required

This system allows automatically filling the crafting grid with necessary ingredients, then removing excess "filler" items from empty recipe slots, and finally - extracting the finished crafted items.

The mod was originally created by Xcom6000 with the goal of showing Mojang developers how the standard crafting table could be improved to support automated crafting systems.
