How to Rotate, Balance, and Clear Your Crafting Grid

Speed up repetitive crafting recipes by using the three management buttons added directly to the crafting interface.

Finding the Grid Controls

Open either the portable crafting table or the combined inventory and crafting table. Alongside the crafting slots, you will see three dedicated control buttons. These provide the management functionalities known from Crafting Tweaks right inside your portable workspace.

Using Each Management Button

  • Rotate Contents: Click the rotate button to shift the items around the outer ring of the crafting grid. This is useful when a directional recipe is oriented the wrong way or when turning minor arrangement mistakes into a valid pattern.
  • Distribute Equally: Place a stack or several uneven piles of the same ingredient into the slots you want to use, then click the distribute button. The mod automatically splits the items into equal amounts across those occupied slots so you can craft the maximum number of items at once.
  • Empty with One Click: When you want to switch recipes or cancel what you are making, click the empty button to clear the entire crafting inventory back into your storage with a single click instead of dragging each stack out manually.
