A crafting guide is a GUI element which the player can use to look up which items are neccessary to craft a certain item by providing crafting recipes. A crafting guide may also include smelting recipes, but not neccessarily so. Many subgames already bring their own crafting guide. A notable exception is Minetest Game.

For subgames without a crafting guide, you can add one by installing and using a crafting guide mod (see below).

  1. Maximum size can be increased by setting but it will impact performance for very large recipes

Meaning of the columns

  • Access: How the crafting guide is accessed
  • Maximum recipe size: The maximum supported size of shaped crafting recipes before this mod fails. It is probably safe to say that supporting recipes of a size of up to 5×5 is more than enough, as larger recipes would become too unwieldy
  • Shaped: Supports shaped recipes
  • Shapeless:
    • Yes: Supports shapeless recipes and clearly distinguishes them from shaped recipes
    • l.s.: “like shaped”. Shapeless is supported, but these recipes are displayed as if they were shaped recipes
  • Output count: Whether the output count of all recipes is displayed correctly
  • Cooking:
    • Yes: Supports cooking recipes and shows cooking times for cooked items
    • Basic: Supports cooking recipes
  • Groups
    • Yes: Group slots are clearly distinguished and the required group (or groups) are mentioned correctly
    • Partial: Group slots are correctly distinguished, but it is not directly clear to the user or the group names are not or not correctly accessible
    • Poor: Only concrete (but correct) recipes are given for group-based recipes
    • No: Group-based recipes are broken
  • Fuels: Lists available fuels
    • Yes: Shows available fuels with burning time
    • Basic: Shows available fuels
  • Replacements: Support for recipes in which one item is replaced with another after crafting
  • Repairing: Displays the special tool repairing recipe (and repair bonus)
