RecursiveCraft
RecursiveCraft is a crafting helper mod for Minecraft 1.20.1. It lets you choose a target item and automatically handles the intermediate crafting steps when the required base materials are available in your inventory.
For example, if you have logs in your inventory, RecursiveCraft can craft planks and sticks as part of the same crafting chain instead of requiring you to craft each step manually.
How to use
RecursiveCraft adds two crafting tools:
- Recursive Crafter: a placeable block
- Handheld Crafter: a portable item
Right-click the Recursive Crafter block or use the Handheld Crafter to open the crafting screen.
In the screen:
- Choose the item you want to craft.
- Set the amount.
- Click Craft.
RecursiveCraft checks your inventory, plans the required crafting path, consumes the needed materials, and gives you the final crafted item if the full chain can be completed.
Important crafting rule
RecursiveCraft can only continue through normal crafting-table recipes or materials already present in your inventory.
For example:
- Logs can be turned into planks.
- Planks can be turned into sticks.
- Logs can therefore be used as part of a wooden tool crafting chain.
But for an iron axe, you still need craftable or available iron materials such as iron ingots, nuggets, or blocks. Iron ore alone is not enough, because smelting is not part of the crafting-table recipe chain.
