Open crafting screens from your inventory.
Works server-side, with extra polish when installed on the client.
Requires Connector and FFAPI on (neo)forge.
Server Features
- Open workstation blocks by right-clicking them in the inventory (or using them from the hotbar)
- Supports crafting, smithing, stonecutting, grinding, looms, cartography tables, and anvils by default
- Supports all vanilla and most modded non-container workstations via the config (see below)
Mixed-Side Features
- Opening workstations is seamless, with no ping-dependent "ghost pickup" while the screen is loading
- Quickly open your crafting table via a hotkey (Default:
v
) - Swap to portable workstations using Inventory Tabs
Modpack Configuration
You add and change which workstations are portable via config/portable_crafting.toml
.
Blocks must open the specified screen handler on use, or this will not work.
[blockItemScreens]
"minecraft:crafting_table" = "minecraft:crafting"
"...block_item" = "...screen_handler"
[blockItemTags]
"c:player_workstations/crafting_tables" = "minecraft:crafting_table"
"...item_tag" = "...block_item_from_above"
Modded non-container workstations that use vanilla code conventions will work. Others crash, so test as you go.
The config is synchronised to the client when mixed-side to display tabs and apply seam-hiding changes.
Incompatible Blocks
Don't file issues for modded workstations! We can't fix them on our side.
To function as portable workstations, blocks must:
- Have no state/container, i.e. items cannot be left in them
- Override
getMenuProvider
/createScreenHandlerFactory
to open their screen - Have a screen that doesn't rely on the existence of a block at the position provided at any time
- Have a screen that can be uniquely identified by a screen handler type
Afterword
All mods are built on the work of many others.
This mod specifically is inspired by a similar feature from Svenhjol's Charm - one of the few implementations of portable crafting grids that didn't introduce new items at the time.
We made this mod for Tinkerer's Quilt - our modpack about ease of play and vanilla content.
