About this Mod
Fabric finally gets its 9x9 crafting!
For too long have we waited for needlessly large crafting to appear in fabric so modpack devs can gate content behind crazy recipes, but that ends today!
This mod adds crafting tables of the size 1x1, 5x5, 7x7, and 9x9.
Note: This mod does not add any new recipes beyond the ones for the tables themselves. This mod is meant for modpack devs or people who want to make their own recipes.
Refer to the GitHub README to see how to add recipes, as any greater in width or height than the normal crafting table, or with more than 9 ingredients, needs to be in the "bigbenchtheory" namespace.
