You can check how to craft an item or see what an ingredient is used for directly from your inventory or the right-side item list.

Viewing How to Craft an Item

1. Open your inventory screen and locate the target item either in your personal inventory slots or in the item list on the right.

2. Move your mouse cursor to hover directly over the item.

3. Press R on your keyboard.

4. A recipe interface will open showing the required ingredients and arrangement for standard crafting grids or modded crafting tables.

Viewing What an Item Crafts Into

If you have a raw material and want to know what you can make with it, you can check its uses:

1. Hover your cursor over the item in your inventory or in the right-side catalog.

2. Press U on your keyboard.

3. The interface will display every recipe that uses that specific item as an ingredient.

While inside a recipe screen, you can continue hovering over any displayed ingredient and pressing R or U to chain through multi-step crafting trees.
