In the latest Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot 23w44a Mojang have introduced the crafter, an automatic crafting block that allows us to make industrial automatic crafting machines. This giant Minecraft saw mill takes Minecraft logs of any type, turns them into planks then sends into an autocrafter which converts them into a specific Minecraft item.

  1. The crafter has a serious problem with just how much redstone-knowledge you need for it to be of any use. Really not good for the average player.
    So either we need a way to lock-in a recipe into the crafter it self, or have crafting-patterns.

    Personally more a fan of locking the recipe, but having a crafting-pattern would fit more with the existing blocks.
    Crafting-Patterns could be made similar to banner-patterns – maybe by using a map + Lapis + crafting-recipe to create it?

  2. Here's a feature idea that Mojang aught to implement:
    A crafter's output can be toggled. When disabled, it acts like a dropper and can output the crafting materials to other storage blocks.
    When one crafter outputs it's input materials to another crafter, it outputs it to the SAME crafter slot that it came from in the first slot.
    When the target slot in the second crafter is not available for insert, it outputs from the second crafter with the same slot behavior.

    By chaining crafters together, with each but the last allowing only a single slot, you can control the exact recipe that gets produced.

  3. Wow! Would be neat if you could tell it how many stacks of an item to make so you could really go afk with it. Something where maybe you could put a certain number of items in a locked hopper that would represent how many stacks to craft, and then every time that it crafted a stack you could read that output and cycle one item through the locked hopper. Eventually the items in the locked hopper would decrease to 0, and the total items should be the stacks requested..

  4. So the next step is to setup it up to a storage unit, and resource farms, that can counts 'full' containers and you have it auto make you materials? Or will that just destroy the computer?

  5. Is quasi connectivity working with crafters now? I was actually surprised that it didn't in the first place considering that qc is a mechanic created by copy pasting. It shows that they actually coded the crafter from scratch. Hopefully this doesn't lead to other inconsistencies between the autocrafter and the rest of the redstone components palette
