Overview

Crafting Tweaks is a quality-of-life mod designed to streamline the crafting process in Minecraft. It integrates seamlessly into the standard Crafting Table GUI and many modded crafting windows, providing three primary functional buttons: Rotate, Balance, and Clear. Beyond these basic functions, the mod includes advanced features like item spreading, mass crafting, and instant compression of materials into blocks via keybinds.

As a utility-focused mod, Crafting Tweaks does not add new mobs, creatures, biomes, or dimensions. It focuses entirely on enhancing the user interface and interaction mechanics of existing crafting systems. It is designed to be 'bi-optional,' meaning it can function on the client-side even if the server does not have it installed, though certain features like external compression require server-side installation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use crafting tweaks?
Open any vanilla crafting table or your inventory crafting grid and look for the small buttons on the sides of the crafting interface. Clicking them rotates, balances, or clears the grid without needing any keybinds or items.
What do the buttons on the crafting table do?
The rotate button cycles your recipe through its different output variants, the balance button spreads your ingredients evenly across the grid, and the clear button returns everything in the grid to your inventory.
How do I rotate the crafting output?
Place your ingredients so a valid recipe appears, then click the rotate button to cycle through the alternate arrangements of that same recipe. This is useful for stairs, slabs, and other blocks that have multiple orientation or shape variants.
How do I balance items in the crafting grid?
Put a stack of ingredients in the grid and click the balance button; the mod spreads them as evenly as possible across the slots the recipe needs. This saves you from manually splitting stacks when crafting in bulk.
