CraftAnyway is the ultimate client-side companion mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). It integrates directly with Just Enough Items (JEI) to provide an interactive panning/zooming visual tech tree, exact inventory-aware mass calculations, a persistent HUD shopping list, and an automated state-machine-driven auto-crafter.
- Hover over any item in the JEI panel and press P to open a visual node tree.
- Pan around with your mouse, scroll to zoom, and scale target quantities dynamically using the top-left
[+]and[-]controls. - Compare multiple crafting pathways side-by-side and lock in your route!
- Top-Down Virtual Inventory Consumption: Automatically consumes matching inventory items during plan analysis.
- Leftover Yield Tracking: If a sub-craft yields 4 items (like Planks) but you only need 2, the remaining 2 are tracked as virtual "leftovers" to satisfy sibling nodes.
- Accurate Child Scaling: Child requirements scale down dynamically based on possessed intermediate components (e.g., having 6/8 Planks scales the Log requirement to 1 Log instead of 2!).
- Dynamically tracks intermediate components you partially possess.
- Displays counts as simplified fractions using Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) math (e.g. possessing 6 of 8 required Planks renders as
3/4 (6/8) Oak Planks!).
- Displays remaining missing raw materials on your main HUD.
- Automatically docks next to Chests and containers.
- Automatically hides items as soon as they are fully satisfied.
- Click Craft Plan inside a Crafting Table to let the state machine automatically place items.
- Dynamic Scheduling: Reads container slots at start time and only schedules the exact sub-craft steps needed to create missing components.
- Safe Click Loop: Uses a bulletproof Left-click (grab) -> Right-click (place 1) -> Left-click (return) sequence to prevent stack dumps.
- Leftover Sweeper: Automatically shift-clicks recipe leftovers (like empty buckets) back to your inventory.
- Smart Pausing: Pauses on non-crafting steps (like Smelting) and resumes when clicked again.
