Crafting Station

Crafting Station

A crafting table that shows the container behind it. Lay out a recipe and pull the
ingredients across without closing the screen or walking back and forth.

How It Works

Place the Crafting Station against a container — it faces you when placed, so the block it
reads is the one directly behind it. Opening the station shows two halves: the container’s
slots on the left, under its own name, and the usual 3×3 grid with your inventory on the
right.

Both halves are live. Drag or shift-click between them like you would in any container
screen. Shift-clicking from the container sends items straight to the crafting grid, which is
what you opened the station for.

The grid keeps what you leave in it, so a station can stay set up with a recipe between two
visits. A comparator placed against it reads how full the grid is.

Supported Containers

Detection uses the same vanilla helper a hopper uses, so anything a hopper can pull from
works here:

| | |
|—|—|
| Chest, trapped chest | 27 slots |
| Double chest | 54 slots, shown as one panel |
| Barrel, shulker box | 27 slots |
| Dispenser, dropper | 9 slots |
| Hopper | 5 slots |
| Modded containers | whatever they hold |

The Panel

The panel sizes itself to the container. A hopper behind the station shows five slots, a
double chest shows all fifty-four, and anything taller scrolls — mouse wheel or the scrollbar
on the right, whose handle is sized to the share you are looking at.

Recipe
