# CraftAnyway - Dynamic Crafting Planner & Auto-Crafter

Tired of manually clicking through complex recipes, calculating raw materials in your head, and trying to remember exactly how many planks, sticks, or gears you need for that end-game machine?

**CraftAnyway** is the ultimate client-side companion mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). It seamlessly integrates with **Just Enough Items (JEI)** to bring you a fully interactive visual planning tree, exact inventory-aware quantity calculations, an explorer's HUD shopping list, and an autonomous state-machine-driven auto-crafter!

## Key Features

### 🌲 Interactive Visual Planning Tree (`Plan Screen`)

- Hover over any item in your **JEI panel** and press **P** to instantly calculate a complete crafting tree.

- A beautiful, full-screen panning and zooming GUI opens, displaying a visual node tree. The target item sits at the top, branching down into every sub-ingredient via sleek connecting lines.

- Request multiple outputs using the `[+]` and `[-]` quantity scaling buttons in the top left, and watch the entire tree dynamically scale!

- Select between multiple valid crafting paths (e.g. different wood types or alternative recipe recipes) side-by-side.

### ⚖️ Exact Dynamic Mass Calculations & Virtual Leftovers

- **Virtual Inventory Simulator:** Unlike other calculators, CraftAnyway dynamically evaluates your actual inventory as it traverses the tree.

- **Yield Leftovers Simulation:** Recipes that produce multiple items (like Planks from Logs) are accurately modeled. Leftover items from a sub-craft (e.g., crafting 4 Planks when you only need 2, leaving 2 leftovers) are virtually placed back into your inventory to satisfy other sibling recipe slots!

- **Dynamic Child Scaling:** Child requirements scale down dynamically based on possessed intermediate components. If you need 8 Planks and have 6 Planks, the mod knows you only need to craft 2 Planks, accurately scaling the child requirement down to 1 Log (instead of 2!).

### 💎 Premium "Alternatives" HUD

- Intermediate components that you *partially* possess are tracked and displayed in a dedicated **Alternatives** section on both the HUD shopping list and the Plan Screen.

- **GCD Fraction Simplification:** Inventory counts are mathematically simplified using Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) logic! Having 6 out of 8 required Oak Planks is beautifully formatted as `3/4 (6/8) Oak Planks`, giving you a premium, intuitive readout.

### 🛒 Persistent HUD & Chest Shopping List

- Once a plan is selected, a persistent shopping list overlay sits on your main HUD while exploring, showing exactly what raw materials you are missing.

- When you open a Chest, the list automatically docks to the side, allowing you to see what you need to grab in real-time.

- Items are automatically removed from the list as soon as you have gathered enough, keeping your view completely clean.

### ⚡ Smart Packet-Safe Auto-Crafting

- Open a Crafting Table and press **Craft Plan** to let the mod automatically assemble your items.

- **Dynamic Execution Scheduling:** The auto-crafter reads your actual inventory slots and schedules only the exact missing crafts needed, perfectly skipping sub-crafts if you already possess intermediate components.

- **Safe Click Sequences:** Uses a highly robust click loop (Left-click to grab a stack, Right-click to place exactly 1 item in the grid, Left-click to return the stack) to prevent dumping entire stacks into a slot.

- **Leftover Sweeper:** At the end of each craft, the executor automatically sweeps the grid and shift-clicks any leftovers (like empty buckets) back into your inventory.

- **Smart Pause & Resume:** If a recipe requires a non-crafting step (e.g., Smelting or Crushing), the mod safely pauses, informs you via chat what to produce, and resumes right where you left off when you click the button again.

## How to Use

1. **Plan a Craft:** Open your inventory or recipe book, hover over any item in the JEI panel, and press **P**.

2. **Review the Tree:** Drag with your mouse to pan around, scroll to zoom, adjust the target quantity with `[+]` or `[-]`, and click **Select Path** on your preferred crafting route.

3. **Gather Materials:** Explore or search chests while tracking your missing raw materials and simplified intermediates on your HUD shopping list.

4. **Auto-Craft:** Open a Crafting Table and click the **Craft Plan** button in the top left. Watch as the mod dynamically handles all sub-crafts, placing items precisely and clearing the grid for you!
