Structured Crafting

Automatic Item Creation Directly in the World

The Structured Crafting mod introduces a unique block called Structured Crafter into the game, which completely changes the approach to item creation. Instead of the traditional crafting table, you can organize an automated crafting system directly in the game space.

The main operating principle is that the block analyzes the structure of blocks around it and matches it with known crafting recipes. The process activates upon receiving a redstone signal and executes every second, ensuring continuous production.

The image above shows an example of creating a regular crafting table. Nine blocks at the base (in the direction opposite the arrow) are checked for recipe compliance. When matching the crafting table recipe, a finished item appears on the other side of the block, and the original blocks are consumed.

Flexibility and Variability

The recipe recognition system is flexible enough to work with different positions and rotations of input blocks, as demonstrated in the second screenshot.

Working with Containers

Instead of regular blocks, you can use containers such as chests, which opens up possibilities for creating complex production chains. This allows organizing a system with automatic material supply.

Combining regular blocks and containers in one system is also supported, providing maximum flexibility when designing crafting setups.

Processing Multiple Results

When a recipe involves multiple output items (for example, converting one log into four planks), the system will attempt to place the first block, and the remaining items will be dropped on top. If the item cannot be placed, all results will simply drop into the world.

Collecting Results in Containers

Containers can also be used for collecting crafting results, which is especially useful when working with recipes that yield multiple items. This allows automatically gathering all produced items in one place.

Complex Production Systems

With this mod, you can create arbitrarily complex automated crafting systems, as shown in the final example. This opens up possibilities for building full-fledged automated factories and production lines directly in the Minecraft world.
