Auto Crafting
This module adds the Auto Crafting Table to the game, a multiblock structure that allows for crafting of recipes upon a redstone signal. Alongside, the module also adds all vanilla crafting recipes to Custom Crafters (and thereby also Auto Crafting Tables).

Features
The Auto Crafting Table can craft items upon a redstone pulse. To do this, the user must first set the recipe shape within the user interface (any item may be used to set the shape!), and then supply the items used to populate the shape in left-to-right top-to-bottom order.
Crafting & Multi-Block Structure
The Auto Crafting Table base block can be crafted in a Custom Crafter with the following recipe:
| Item | Ingredients | Recipe (Custom Crafter) | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forming Press | Piston +
Cobblestone + Comparator + Furnace |
Auto Crafter |
This base block must then be embedded in a multiblock structure consisting of:
| Amount | Block |
|---|---|
| 8 | Wooden Stairs |
| 2 | Barrels |
| 2 | Glass Blocks |
| 1 | Piston |
Automation
Crafting an item in an Auto Crafter requires some setup, but once set up it can be automated easily.
Getting Started
To get started, a multiblock structure must be constructed and configured.
- Craft an Auto Crafter base block.
- Construct the multi-block structure according the the images and materials above.
- Configure the Auto Crafter using the UI of the base block. Here you can set the shape of the recipe the Auto Crafter is supposed to craft. For example, an Auto Crafter with the following shape configured in its UI is able to craft all types of shovels:
Set Shape
Note that the type of item used in this interface does not matter, as the interface only sets the shape of the recipe, not the materials used.
Using the Auto Crafter
To use the Auto Crafter, items must be supplied to it and the Auto Crafter must be activated by redstone:
- Supply the items you want to use to the input barrel on the top of the Auto Crafter. This is done in left-to-right top-to-bottom order. The Auto Crafter will populate a virtual buffer with the supplied items, in the shape of the shape configured above. In the case of the shovels example from above, this would mean supplying a tool material and then two sticks to the Auto Crafter.
- Pulse the piston with a redstone signal to execute the crafting operation.
- Extract the output items from the output barrel at the bottom of the Auto Crafter. This could either be the result of the crafting recipe, if the recipe was valid, or the items used in the crafting attempt if the recipe failed (invalid shape or input order).
