Mechanics – Crafting Ways Mod 1.12.2 adds some crafting mechanics to spice up modpacks. By itself, this mod adds nothing to the game, and must be configured to add recipes. All of the recipes are available through CraftTweaker.
A good companion mod to this one is In World Crafting, which adds other possibilities that will not be covered by this mod.
Other mods like this:
