CraftReach – Nearby Storage Crafting

CraftReach

CraftReach lets you craft using materials stored nearby without moving everything into your inventory first.

Open your normal inventory or crafting table and CraftReach automatically makes items from nearby chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and ender chests available for crafting.

Features

• Craft directly from nearby storage
• 8-64 Blocks of Range. Configurable with Mod menu
• Works with the player crafting grid and crafting tables
• Supports chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and ender chests
• The vanilla recipe book recognizes materials stored nearby
• Optional REI integration for recipe filling and missing-item detection
• Only pulls the ingredients actually needed
• Tracks where borrowed items came from and returns unused items to storage
• Includes a simple Nearby ON/OFF toggle
• Return Items button sends borrowed materials back to storage
• Supports crafting multiple items at once
• Designed to feel like a natural extension of vanilla crafting

How it works

When nearby crafting is enabled, CraftReach scans storage around you and makes those materials available to the crafting system.

Items are only moved when they are actually needed for a recipe. Any unused materials can be returned to their original storage automatically or with the Return Items button.

Ender chest contents remain player-specific, just like in vanilla Minecraft.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.2
• Fabric
• Fabric API
• Installed on both client and server for multiplayer

REI and Mod Menu are optional.
