🗑️ BinSlot – The Smart Crafting Trash Slot Mod for Minecraft

BinSlot is a Minecraft mod that introduces a custom crafting table with a unique and intuitive twist: automatic management and disposal of leftover items during the crafting process.

Designed to improve the player’s crafting experience, BinSlot adds a new crafting interface that allows automatic disposal of recipe byproducts, saving you from cluttered inventories and tedious item management. This feature is especially handy when crafting recipes that leave behind extra containers like buckets, bottles, or tools.

⚙️ What Does BinSlot Offer?

✅ A custom container with the familiar 3x3 crafting grid
✅ A dynamic result slot that works just like a regular crafting table
✅ Automatic handling of leftover items – send them to the trash or your inventory
✅ Full integration with Minecraft’s vanilla recipe system
✅ Clean and simple design, perfect for survival players, builders, or tech modpacks
✅ Compatible with most other item/recipe mods (as long as they use the standard recipe system)

🎯 Why Is It Useful?

In vanilla Minecraft, crafting certain items (e.g. cakes, potions) results in leftover items such as empty buckets or bottles. These items typically return to the player’s inventory, which can quickly lead to inventory overflow and constant micromanagement.

BinSlot solves this elegantly:

Useful leftovers return to your inventory (if there’s room).
If there’s no space, they are automatically trashed.
With future updates, items can even be routed to custom containers or pipes.

🛠️ Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.x (or whichever version you're targeting)
Forge (or another loader like Fabric/NeoForge if adapted)
Optional: inventory/recipe-related mods (like JEI) for enhanced support

💡 Use Cases

Automation: Combine with pipes, redstone, or storage mods for auto-crafting systems.
Survival: Craft faster without worrying about clutter.
Modded gameplay: Streamline crafting in packs with hundreds of custom recipes.

🔧 Planned Features

BinSlot is under active development, with more features on the roadmap:

Configurable item handling (whitelists/blacklists for trash behavior)
Support for mods like Tinkers' Construct, Thermal Series, and Botania
Customizable UI themes
Integration with datapacks for recipe overrides
