How to Craft Without Placing a Crafting Table

Carry a full crafting grid with you while exploring, mining, or building so you never have to stop and place a block on the ground.

Crafting the Portable Table

Before heading out, check the crafting recipes in your recipe book to assemble the mod's portable crafting item. If you want extra storage space integrated right into your workspace, look for the recipe that combines an inventory with a crafting table instead of the standard portable option.

Once crafted, move the portable crafting table into an accessible slot on your hotbar or keep it inside your main inventory.

Opening and Crafting on the Go

1. Select the portable crafting table on your hotbar.

2. Use it directly from your hand to open the crafting interface without placing anything in the world.

3. Place your raw materials into the slots just as you would on a normal vanilla crafting table.

4. Pull the finished result into your inventory.

Because nothing is placed on the ground, you can craft safely while bridging over lava, standing in water, or digging through tight caves where placing and breaking a block would slow you down. When you close the interface, you can immediately switch back to your tools and keep moving.
