How to Craft and Use Portable Workbenches

Instead of placing a crafting station on the ground and breaking it with an axe or pickaxe every time you stop while traveling, you can attach your most-used utility blocks to a wooden stick and open their menus straight from your hand.

Crafting a Station on a Stick

Every portable station in the mod follows the same basic recipe structure:

1. Gather one standard wooden Stick and one of the seven supported vanilla utility blocks.

2. Open a crafting grid and place the stick alongside the workbench block.

3. Pull the finished portable stick item into your inventory.

You can create handheld versions of the following seven blocks:

• Crafting Table
• Stonecutter
• Anvil
• Smithing Table
• Grindstone
• Loom
• Cartography Table

Opening the Menu on the Go

Once crafted, move the portable station to your hotbar. Select the slot so your character is holding the item in their hand, then press your Use Item button (right-click by default). The station's full interface opens immediately without requiring an empty block space in front of you, meaning you can craft, cut stone, or repair tools even while swimming, standing in lava-lit caves, or riding in tight tunnels.
