About this Mod
TemplateCrafter is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds a simple recipe template system to the vanilla Crafter.
Each Crafter can store one saved recipe template. Once saved, the template is displayed directly in the Crafter UI as ghost items, unused slots are disabled automatically, and invalid item insertion is blocked to help keep the recipe layout clean and consistent.
Features:
- Save one template per Crafter
- Clear the saved template at any time
- Ghost recipe display directly in the vanilla Crafter UI
- Automatic disabling of unused slots
- Invalid item insertion protection
- Support for manual insertion, shift-click interactions, and hopper input
- Per-Crafter template persistence after world reload
TemplateCrafter is designed to stay lightweight and focused: one Crafter, one template, simple and practical.
