Variant Crafting Tables

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Variant Crafting tables adds a new Crafting Table for each available Plank type added to your game
(where support has been provided)

All textures have been compressed (without any negative impact) to keep the mod file size to an absolute minimum.
All textures are manually created using the the appropriate planks to ensure they look correct.
Fabric load conditions have been used to ensure your console is not full of errors when compatible mods are not installed.
- It has also been used to stop any duplicate crafting tables appearing, for example : if Better Nether is installed the Warped & Crimson crafting tables are disabled.
Un-crafting for all variants back to vanilla has been included in case of any issues.
Vanilla crafting renamed to Oak and recoloured slightly to better fit the oak wood type.
