About this Mod

     

Visual Workbench makes crafting tables feel more alive by keeping items inside the grid while you work. 🧰 No more disappearing ingredients. Everything stays visible and organized as you craft.

If you break the block, all contents drop on the ground just as you would expect. 📦 Crafting ingredients and the resulting item are also rendered directly on top, giving the table a clean and satisfying visual touch.

Simple, intuitive, and a nice visual upgrade to a familiar block. ✨

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Thanks to Prototik for the original idea and most of the rendering code from their RealBench mod.

🌟 Thanks to Tfarecnim for the Just Enough Items plugin code from their Crafting Station mod.

🌟 Thanks to Daomephsta from the Fabric Discord for pointing me into the right direction for supporting modded crafting tables on Fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Visual Workbench server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.3). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Visual Workbench compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Visual Workbench officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Visual Workbench – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Visual Workbench consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
