Timber Workstations

Timber Workstations

Minecraft has a lot of different wood types, but many of its workstations still only come in one style.

Timber Workstations adds matching wood variants for several vanilla work blocks, so they can actually fit the builds they’re placed in.

Build with Spruce? Use a Spruce Crafting Table.
Making a Cherry workshop? The Loom, Smithing Table and the rest can match it too.

The goal is to keep everything simple and vanilla-friendly rather than turn the workstations into completely new machines.

Workstations

Timber Workstations currently adds variants for:

• Crafting Tables
• Looms
• Cartography Tables
• Fletching Tables
• Smithing Tables
• Composters
• Grindstones

Every vanilla wood family in Minecraft 26.3 is supported:

• Oak
• Spruce
• Birch
• Jungle
• Acacia
• Dark Oak
• Mangrove
• Cherry
• Pale Oak
• Poplar
• Bamboo
• Crimson
• Warped

Some vanilla workstations already fit a particular wood family well, so those are reused instead of adding unnecessary duplicate blocks.

For example, the normal Crafting Table fills the Oak slot, while the vanilla Cartography Table and Grindstone are used for Dark Oak.

They still work like vanilla

These aren’t decorative copies.

Each variant keeps the behavior of the vanilla block it is based on.

Crafting Tables still open the normal 3×3 crafting menu. Looms still work with banners. Cartography Tables still handle maps. Smithing Tables still use normal smithing recipes. Composters still support composting, Redstone and automation, and Grindstones still repair and disenchant items.

Villagers also recognise the new blocks as their normal job sites.

That means a Spruce Loom can be used by a Shepherd, a Cherry Composter by a Farmer, a Warped Grindstone by a Weaponsmith, and so on.

Optional wood-themed interfaces

By default, Timber Workstations keeps Minecraft’s normal workstation interfaces.

If you want the inside of the workstation to match the wood type too, you can enable the optional Themed interface style.

Themed interfaces are available for:

• Crafting Tables
• Looms
• Cartography Tables
• Smithing Tables
• Grindstones

To change the interface style, use:

/timberworkstations settings

On NeoForge, the same settings screen can also be opened from the mod’s Config button.

Available options:

• Vanilla — uses Minecraft’s standard workstation interfaces
• Themed — uses interfaces matching the workstation’s wood family

The setting is completely client-side and does not affect gameplay.

Vanilla-first design

Timber Workstations doesn’t add new materials, progression systems or custom crafting mechanics.

The idea is simply to fill a gap in the vanilla wood sets while keeping the blocks familiar to use.

Recipes follow the wood family where appropriate, mixed-wood recipes keep sensible vanilla fallback behavior, and Crimson and Warped variants retain their non-flammable properties.
