\n \"portable
\n Open crafting screens from your inventory.
\n Works server-side, with extra polish when installed on the client.
\n Requires Connector and FFAPI on (neo)forge.
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

### Server Features<\/p>\n

– Open workstation blocks by right-clicking them in the inventory (or using them from the hotbar)
\n – Supports crafting, smithing, stonecutting, grinding, looms, cartography tables, and anvils by default
\n – Supports all vanilla and most modded non-container workstations via the config (see below)<\/p>\n

### Mixed-Side Features
\n – Opening workstations is seamless, with no ping-dependent “ghost pickup” while the screen is loading
\n – Quickly open your crafting table via a hotkey (Default: `v`)
\n – Swap to portable workstations using Inventory Tabs

## Modpack Configuration<\/p>\n

You add and change which workstations are portable via `config\/portable_crafting.toml`.
\nBlocks _must_ open the specified screen handler on use, or this will not work.<\/p>\n

“`toml
\n[blockItemScreens]
\n\t“minecraft:crafting_table” = “minecraft:crafting”
\n\t“…block_item” = “…screen_handler”<\/p>\n

[blockItemTags]
\n\t“c:player_workstations\/crafting_tables” = “minecraft:crafting_table”
\n\t“…item_tag” = “…block_item_from_above”
\n“`<\/p>\n

Modded non-container workstations that use vanilla code conventions will work. Others crash, so test as you go.
\nThe config is synchronised to the client when mixed-side to display tabs and apply seam-hiding changes.<\/p>\n

#### Incompatible Blocks<\/p>\n

Don’t file issues for modded workstations! We can’t fix them on our side.
\nTo function as portable workstations, blocks must:
\n– Have no state\/container, i.e. items cannot be left in them
\n– Override `getMenuProvider` \/ `createScreenHandlerFactory` to open their screen
\n– Have a screen that doesn’t rely on the existence of a block at the position provided at any time
\n– Have a screen that can be uniquely identified by a screen handler type<\/p>\n

## Afterword<\/p>\n

All mods are built on the work of many others.<\/p>\n

This mod specifically is inspired by a similar feature from Svenhjol’s Charm – one of the few implementations of portable crafting grids that didn’t introduce new items at the time.<\/p>\n

We made this mod for Tinkerer’s Quilt – our modpack about ease of play and vanilla content.<\/p>\n
