Craft Redstone Components, Chests, and Minecarts Faster
Crafting+ removes tedious intermediate steps when building storage rooms, rail lines, and redstone contraptions. Instead of crafting base parts one by one, you can assemble finished blocks directly in a Crafting Table.
Skip Intermediate Crafting Steps
- Chests and Trapped Chests: Arrange Logs directly in the crafting grid instead of converting them into planks first. Place a Tripwire Hook in the center of the log ring to craft a Trapped Chest immediately.
- Ladders: Convert Logs directly into Ladders without crafting sticks.
- Minecart Variants: Place 5 Iron Ingots in the standard minecart U-shape and put the matching functional block (such as TNT or a Furnace) directly in the middle slot.
- Redstone Repeaters: Craft Repeaters using Stone, Redstone Dust, and Sticks directly, skipping the step of pre-crafting Redstone Torches. Check the in-game Recipe Book if you need to confirm the exact slot layout.
Craft Items in Bulk
Dealing with non-stackable items like Bows makes vanilla Dispenser crafting slow. With Crafting+, place a Dropper in the crafting grid and arrange the Sticks and String for a Bow directly around it to mass-produce Dispensers in a single batch.
You can also use the Recipe Book to view bulk-crafting layouts for Bowls, Cauldrons, Chains, Ender Eyes, Minecarts, and Gold or Iron Pressure Plates so you can process full stacks of raw materials at once.
