CraftTree is a crafting progression guide for players who want to see more than just a recipe list.
Instead of opening a recipe viewer and checking one item at a time, CraftTree builds a progression tree from the recipes in your world. It shows what an item is made from, what that item unlocks next, and how far you have already progressed through the chain.
Craft something once, and CraftTree remembers it. Items you have crafted are marked as completed, while items you have not crafted yet stay greyed out. Progress is saved per player, so it works properly on servers and shared worlds.
The mod also includes a small in-game hint that suggests your next crafting goal. If you are working toward better tools, machines, food, armor, or modded items, CraftTree can point you toward the next useful step and show what you are still missing.
To open the full guide, use the CraftTree Book. Every player receives one when they join the world, and it can also be crafted with a Book and a Feather. Right-click the book to open the CraftTree screen, where you can search items, browse categories, and look through the crafting graph.
CraftTree does not need manual setup. It reads the recipes and item tags already loaded by Minecraft, Forge, datapacks, and other mods. That means it can work with modpacks out of the box, including recipes added by other mods.

CraftTree is not meant to replace JEI or REI. Those mods are great for looking up recipes. CraftTree is for understanding progression: where an item comes from, what it leads to, and what you should craft next.
