Compact Crafting Mod (1.19.2, 1.18.2) – The Next Generation of Crafting

Compact Crafting Mod is inspired from the Miniaturization Crafting mechanic from the Compact Machines mod. It’s a brand new update featuring improved recipe loading, datapack support, fancy new client-side features, and a modernized codebase. The goal for Compact Crafting is to streamline the usage of the crafting mechanics, to make it painless for users and modpack developers alike.

Features:

JEI layer-by-layer view:

• The JEI interface has been completely overhauled to show recipes in an exploded view (for a quick peek into the center of a recipe) or, if you want to get nitty-gritty, you can even view the recipes layer-by-layer! Huge credits to Elucent for the sprite work for the controls for this.

Recipe layers:

• Previously in Compact Machines 3, the crafting mechanic forced a recipe designer to be incredibly explicit about how recipe layers were defined. Given that this means a lot more work on a designer rather than letting the mod itself “figure it out,” it meant that custom recipes felt like a second-class citizen to the mod. In Compact Crafting, this system was overhauled to make layer definitions more streamlined.
