Portable Tablets FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft my first tablet?
Tablets are crafted like normal items in your crafting table using standard materials. Check the crafting recipes in your recipe book or JEI/NEI mod to see what each tablet requires—they vary depending on which tablet you want to make.
Do tablets take up inventory space?
Yes, tablets are items that occupy inventory slots just like any other tool or block. You can store them in chests, ender chests, or drop them on the ground if you need to free up space.
Can I use multiple tablets at the same time?
You can carry multiple tablets in your inventory and switch between them by holding different ones in your hand. However, you can only have one tablet active (in your hand) at a time.
Does the 
Auto Crafting Tablet work with modded items?
The Auto 
Crafting Tablet should work with any recipe that exists in your crafting system, including modded recipes, as long as the recipe is registered properly in the game.

Enchanting Tablet giving me level 30 enchantments?
Make sure you've added the required number of bookshelves to the tablet's bookshelf slot before attempting to enchant. The tablet needs to be fully configured before it will offer maximum-level enchantments.
Can I use the 
Smelting Tablet to cook food?
The Smelting Tablet switches between furnace, smoker, and blast furnace modes. Use furnace mode for general cooking and smelting, smoker mode for food items, and blast furnace mode for ores and metals.

Tablets are designed to be lightweight alternatives to placed blocks, so they should not cause significant performance problems. However, having many tablets with active processes (like auto-smelting) running simultaneously may have minor performance impact depending on your system.
Can I use the Brewing Tablet without sugar cane or nether wart nearby?
Yes, that's the main advantage of the Brewing Tablet—you can brew potions anywhere without needing to build a brewing setup or gather ingredients from specific biomes. Just have the ingredients in your inventory.
What happens if I drop a tablet in lava or water?
Tablets are items and will behave like normal items in liquids—they can be destroyed by lava or flow away with water currents. Treat them like any other valuable tool and keep them safe from hazards.
