Adds a Smart Crafter block that automates crafting with recipe locking patterns and intelligent inventory management for redstone systems.

If you're tired of hoppers clogging up your auto-crafters or having to build massive redstone clocks just to craft a few items, I made this mod to fix that.
It adds the Smart Crafter, which is basically a one-block replacement for complex auto-crafting setups.
Why it’s actually better:
- It doesn't get clogged: You can lock a recipe (ghost slots), and the block forces input slots to only hold 1 item at a time. No more hoppers dumping 64 iron into the wrong slot and breaking the machine.
- No Redstone needed: You can toggle "Smart Mode" to make it craft instantly whenever it has ingredients. No clocks or timers required.
- Lag Friendly: It has an internal buffer for output items, so it doesn't spew entities onto the floor and lag your server.
