Nearby Crafting Reforged

Forge 1.20.1 fork of Nearby Crafting with extra features. Allows crafting and cooking to access nearby chests or other containers, because that's how it should be!

 

Nearby Crafting Reforged is a fork of Fabric version of Nearby Crafting which enables crafting and cooking (with FD installed) from nearby container blocks, such as barrels and chests. 
A massive timesaver, and absolute essential for your survival world or server modpacks.

Nearby Crafting Demonstration

 

Important notice

The original mod works flawlessly through Sinytra Connector on Forge 1.20.1. I am publishing this fork specifically for people like me who do not want to rely on Sinytra Connector and in turn reduce the mod bloat. Fabric version requires Recipe Book Access API also created by Jomlom. This version has the API included so the mod works standalone.

 

Features

Crafting and cooking from nearby containers

This works for crafting tables, crafting within the player's inventory or cooking (with FD installed)

Completley Customisable

Nearby crafting or cooking supports customising the reach radius, or toggling the reach functionality altogether.

This can be done seperatley for different scenarios (i.e. Crafting Tables and Player Inventory Crafting) 
By default, the reach functionality is enabled and the radius is 8 blocks for all scenarios.

These can be changed using modmenu, or commands.
If you are playing on a server, you must use commands to change the config, the modmenu config page will only affect the clients settings for singleplayer.

Commands Guide

Use the /nearbycrafting command to customize server-wide behavior for Nearby Crafting. You must be a server operator to change the server's Nearby Crafting configuration.
The command follows a simple, modular format:

/nearbycrafting <target> <action> [value]

Command Structure

<target>

This defines which crafting scenario you're configuring:

  • craftingtable – Affects vanilla crafting tables.
  • playerinventorycrafting – Affects the player's inventory crafting (2x2 crafting grid).

<action>

Defines the type of action you want to perform:

  • enable – Turns the functionality ON.
  • disable – Turns the functionality OFF.
  • setReach <number> – Sets the radius (in blocks) from which inventories are accessible.
  • getReach – Displays the current reach radius.

Examples

Enable crafting table inventory access:

/nearbycrafting craftingtable enable

Disable player inventory crafting access:

/nearbycrafting playerinventorycrafting disable

Set reach radius to 10 blocks for crafting tables:

/nearbycrafting craftingtable setReach 10

Check current reach radius for player inventory crafting:

/nearbycrafting playerinventorycrafting getReach

Note: These commands require operator permissions on the server.

To Do:

  • add a command to configure cooking pot interaction
  • (possibly?) add compatibility with mods that remove player's recipe cache such as SaveMyRecipeBook
