Crafting guide

This article is incomplete. Please help expand this article to include more useful information.

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.

Crafting guides are part of a mod, called “crafting guide mod”. Crafting guide mods are not part of Minetest Game.
