Portable Crafting Table FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I craft a Portable Crafting Table?
Place a crafting table in the center of your crafting grid, then place a stick on either side of it (left and right). This will give you the Portable Crafting Table item.
How do I use the Portable Crafting Table?
Hold the Portable Crafting Table in your hand and right-click to open the 3×3 crafting grid. You can then craft any recipe that requires a full-size crafting table without needing to place one down.
Can I use the Portable Crafting Table in my inventory or do I need to hold it?
You must hold it in your hand and right-click to access the crafting grid; simply having it in your inventory won't work.
Does the Portable Crafting Table work with JEI?
Yes, the mod integrates with Just Enough Items (JEI), allowing you to look up recipes and see crafting information while using the Portable Crafting Table.
Can I still use regular crafting tables after installing this mod?
Yes, regular crafting tables work exactly as before. The Portable Crafting Table is an alternative convenience item, not a replacement.
What's the difference between the Portable Crafting Table and the 2×2 inventory grid?
The Portable Crafting Table gives you a full 3×3 grid like a regular crafting table, while your inventory only has a 2×2 grid. The 3×3 grid lets you craft items that the smaller grid cannot.
Does the Portable Crafting Table take up inventory space?
Yes, it occupies one inventory slot. You can carry it alongside other items, or store it when you don't need it.
Can I craft multiple Portable Crafting Tables?
Yes, you can craft as many as you want using the same recipe (one crafting table and two sticks per table).
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod is lightweight and should not cause noticeable performance issues, as it only adds one item and doesn't generate new blocks or complex mechanics.
Will the Portable Crafting Table work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, as long as the server has the mod installed, the Portable Crafting Table will function the same way it does in single-player.
