Create: Larger Recipe Gauges

This mod adds Factory Gauges for automating Create Mechanical Crafting larger recipes with packages.

Features

• Configure Mechanical Crafting recipes up to 6×6 with the Expanded Factory Gauge.
• Configure recipes up to 9×9 with the Industrial Factory Gauge.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.236 or newer
• Create 6.0.10

Getting started

1. Craft a gauge: two Create Factory Gauges → one Expanded Factory Gauge (6×6); two Expanded Factory Gauges → one Industrial Factory Gauge (9×9). Both recipes are shapeless.
2. Configure the recipe: set the gauge's output item and connect the ingredient gauges. Open its recipe settings and enable auto-arrangement for a matching Mechanical Crafting recipe.
3. Build the crafters: assemble and power a connected Mechanical Crafter array large enough for the recipe. It can be larger than the recipe grid; connect the crafters from behind with a wrench.
4. Deliver the packages: attach a Packager to the connected crafters, set a delivery address in the gauge, and route packages with that address to the Packager.

The crafter array does not need to match the recipe's exact shape: a 9×9 array can craft a 5×5 Crushing Wheel recipe. Empty recipe cells stay empty when packages are unpacked.
