Grids Are Dumb (GAD) – A Crafting Overhaul

G.A.D: Grids Are Dumb

GAD is a crafting screen replacement that changes the menu from the grid based puzzle mechanic to a crafting list menu similar to other survival games.

– Are you tired of sprawling around wikis just to find that one modded item’s crafting recipe?
– Are you someone like those streamers trying to craft a pickaxe using porkchops?
– Do you find Minecraft’s crafting system overly complicated?

Then GAD is probably the mod for you!

This mod is made for pack devs in mind, everything is configurable and you can even reenable the crafting grid if you so desire.

If a recipe is too large, it will require a crafting table in proximity of the player. (Configurable)

– Recipe menu openable via keybind.
