Portable Crafting

Portable Crafting

A lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.10 that lets you use a crafting table without placing it down. Hold the Portable Crafting Table in your hand, right-click in the air, and a full 3×3 crafting screen opens anywhere.

About

The item is crafted from 9 regular crafting tables and lives in your inventory. Opening it gives you the exact vanilla crafting interface recipe book included, and anything left on the grid goes back to your inventory when the screen closes.

Features

• Right-click in the air (or at any block) with the item to open a crafting screen
• Optional keybind (default C) works with the item in either hand
• The vanilla 3×3 crafting UI, with recipe book
• Config file: enable/disable, cooldown, stack size

Crafting

9 × crafting table (3×3) → 1 × Portable Crafting Table

Configuration

On first launch the mod creates config/portable-crafting.json
(in your game folder or your server folder):

| Option | Default | Description |
|—|—|—|
| enabled | true | Turns the mod’s feature on/off |
| cooldownSeconds | 0 | Seconds between uses (0 = no cooldown) |
| maxStackSize | 64 | How many Portable Crafting Tables stack together (1–64) |

The file is read at startup edit it, then restart.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.10
• Fabric Loader 0.18.3 or newer
• Fabric API
• Java 21 or newer

Installation

Singleplayer

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API on your instance
2. Put the jar in your mods/ folder

Multiplayer

1. Install the mod on the server (in its mods/ folder)
2. Every player also installs it on their own client, like above

Notes

• The crafting screen works everywhere over lava, in the Nether, mid-air.
• Opening a real block (chest, door, …) with the item in hand still opens that block first, like any normal item.
