Primitive Crafting Mod — Reference

Core Mechanics

The primary mechanic of Primitive Crafting is the ability to combine items while they are being held by the mouse cursor within the inventory screen.

Drag-and-Drop Crafting

To craft an item, follow these steps: 1. Open your inventory. 2. Pick up an ingredient stack with the left mouse button. 3. Hover the held stack over another ingredient stack in your inventory. 4. Right-click the second stack.

If the two items are part of a valid 2x2 crafting recipe, the mod will consume the necessary ingredients and produce the result. If the recipe requires more than two items (such as a Crafting Table requiring four wood planks), the mod will automatically check the rest of your inventory for the remaining required materials.

Batch Crafting

To craft multiple items at once, hold the Shift key while right-clicking. This will attempt to craft the maximum possible amount of the resulting item based on the resources available in your inventory.

Visual Feedback

When hovering an ingredient over another, the mod provides a visual preview (a "ghost item") of the resulting product next to the cursor. This allows players to verify the recipe before committing resources.

Items and Blocks

Primitive Crafting is a mechanical utility mod and does not add new blocks, items, or equipment to the game. Instead, it modifies the behavior of all existing items to make them "craftable" via the inventory interface.

It is fully compatible with: * Vanilla Items: Torches, Sticks, Planks, Buttons, etc. * Modded Items: Any item that is part of a registered 2x2 (or configured 3x3) recipe.

Recipes

The mod does not introduce new recipes; it inherits all existing recipes from the game's registry. Any recipe that can be crafted in the player's 2x2 grid is available by default.

Commonly used recipes with this mod include:
