Crafting Takes Time Mod introduces a very unique mechanic into the game, where crafting accelerates the time in your world. This newly added time mechanic to crafting can change how the game is played, since it adds a strategic approach to how and what should be crafted and at what time. The items used in the crafting recipe, will also affect how much time has passed by. You can open the crafting GUI at night time, craft some diamond block and then close the GUI to find that it is morning. The images given below will help you understand the concept better.

It is now midnight.

Nine stacks of diamonds are crafted into diamond blocks.


As it can be seen, the crafting process has accelerated time to the next day.
