How to Set Up Basic Automated Crafting

Setting Up the Crafting Grid and Output

Place the Crafting Automat so that its front face points toward your intended destination. If connected to an adjacent container, such as a chest or a chest cart, the block automatically dispenses completed items directly into it. If the front face is left open, it spits crafted items out into the world much like a vanilla dropper.

Open the block's interface and set up the recipe you want to craft. The Crafting Automat functions like a standard crafting table with a persistent inventory, meaning your items remain inside the matrix after you close the interface.

Triggering the Crafting Process

To craft an item, send a redstone pulse to the Crafting Automat:

1. Run redstone dust, a button, or an observer clock into the block. The triggering rules mirror those of vanilla droppers and pistons.

2. When powered by a single pulse, the block checks the crafting matrix for a valid recipe.

3. If valid ingredients are found, the machine performs one crafting operation and outputs the result.

A single craft takes 24 game ticks to complete, which includes a 16-tick cooldown before it can process another craft.
