Chain Craft Complex Items from Raw Materials

Understanding Chain Crafting

Chain crafting automatically creates intermediate components before the final product. For example, to craft a pickaxe, the mod can automatically:

1. Smelt ore into ingots (if a furnace is nearby)

2. Craft ingots into a pickaxe head

3. Craft the complete pickaxe

All steps happen in sequence from raw materials to finished item.

Setting Up Chain Crafting

1. Gather your raw materials and place them in nearby containers

2. Open your crafting table

3. Select the final recipe you want (e.g., pickaxe)

4. Queue the quantity using scroll + modifier keys

5. Confirm the craft

The mod traces the recipe tree backward and crafts all prerequisites automatically.

Requirements

Chain crafting works best when:

• All intermediate recipes are standard vanilla recipes
• Necessary crafting stations (furnaces, crafting tables) are within range
• You have enough raw materials in nearby containers

If a step requires a station you don't have nearby, the chain will pause at that point.
