Project Station
The Project Station is the double bench you get when a Project Bench Slab joins another slab or a Project Bench. It opens as one wide window with two grids. Both halves share their storage.
| Type | Double bench (two joined blocks) |
| Stack size | Not an item |
| Obtained by | Joining a slab to a slab or a bench |
| Config section | Slab and Project Station, Project Station colours |
Place a slab next to another slab or a bench, facing the same way. See Joining for the rules.
The Project Station window: two grids, each with its own blueprint, result and storage
Open either half. The window has these parts:
- Two grids: one for each half. Each has its own blueprint slot, dye slot, result and recipe button.
- Auto, Balance and Clear: one set for each grid. They always work on their own grid.
- Active grid switch, Showcase and Share: one of each for the pair.
- Record and Fill: one of each. They work on the active grid.
- Storage: both halves' storage. Each half has its own tint colour, so you can tell them apart.
- Archive panel and chest panel: the archives and chests next to either half.
Both grids always craft. One of them is the active grid, marked in the window. Items from outside go to the active grid:
- Shift-clicks from your inventory or from a chest tab.
- JEI and EMI recipe filling.
- Polymorph's recipe picker.
- Record and Fill.
The active grid belongs to the Station, not to you. When someone switches it, everyone in the window sees the change. A new Station starts on the first grid.
The two halves share their storage:
- A craft on either grid refills from both storages, its own half first.
- Fill, Clear and crafting leftovers use both storages, its own half first.
- Shift-click from your inventory fills the active half's storage first, then the other.
Share is one switch for the pair. Press it on either half and both change.
- The chest panel lists the chests next to both halves, up to eight tabs.
- A double chest touching both halves counts once.
- The archive panel lists the archives touching either half.
Break either half and the window closes. Each half drops its own items.

- Keep one recipe laid out in each grid, and craft from both without switching.
- Switch the active grid with Tab before you shift-click a stack in.
- Put a different blueprint in each half for two recipes that share ingredients.
- JEI and EMI: fill the active grid, taking from the active half's storage, then the other's, then yours.
- Jade: shows both grids' recipes when you look at either half.
- Inventory Profiles Next: sorts both halves' storage.
Details are on Works With Other Mods.
Server owners can turn off the shared storage, so each half uses only its own. Each player picks the two tint colours. See Slab and Project Station and Project Station colours.
