As the mod is MIT I am allowed to make a fork and update it
Compact Crafting is inspired from the Miniaturization Crafting mechanic from the Compact Machines mod. It's a brand new update featuring improved recipe loading, datapack support, fancy new client-side features, and a modernized codebase. The goal for Compact Crafting is to streamline the usage of the crafting mechanics, to make it painless for users and modpack developers alike.
The JEI interface has been completely overhauled to show recipes in an exploded view (for a quick peek into the center of a recipe) or, if you want to get nitty-gritty, you can even view the recipes layer-by-layer! Huge credits to Elucent for the sprite work for the controls for this.
Previously in Compact Machines 3, the crafting mechanic forced a recipe designer to be incredibly explicit about how recipe layers were defined. Given that this means a lot more work on a designer rather than letting the mod itself "figure it out," it meant that custom recipes felt like a second-class citizen to the mod. In Compact Crafting, this system was overhauled to make layer definitions more streamlined.
Recipe specification comparison here - for now, take a look at the wiki link to see how layers work.
All of Compact Mods are free to use on modpacks. If you re-host the mod outside of Curseforge, please provide a link back to the mod page if your publishing platform supports it. Thank you!
Compact Crafting is a full rewrite of the logic of Miniaturization crafting, so issues are expected. You can log them on the public repository on GitHub under the issue tracker.
