Visual Crafting
Visualizes the crafting process
Compatibility
Compatible with Spigot & Paper 1.16.5 - 1.21.9
How it works
1.16.5-1.19.3: The plugin downloads the Minecraft textures directly from Mojang and displays them on invisible maps. Please note that not all items and blocks can be displayed (for example stairs).
1.19.4+: The plugin utilizes the new item display entities to display the items. All items and blocks are supported, even custom ones from resource packs.
Visual Crafting compared to other similar plugins
Visual Crafting is a lightweight alternative to many other more performance intensive plugins.
- Visual Crafting does not store any items in any blocks
- Visual Crafting only supports crafting tables (for now)
- Visual Crafting utilizes invisible item frames, maps and display entities (completely client side)
- Visual Crafting does not utilize armor stands or any server side entities
- Visual Crafting is free
To sum it all up: Visual Crafting has less features than other similar plugins, but it doesn't cause any lag and it's completely free.
Installation
- Download the plugin
- Drop the plugin into your plugins folder
- Restart your server
- (Optional) Configure the plugin (permission etc)
It's that simple! On 1.16.5-1.19.3 the first start might take a little while depending on your server hardware since the plugin has to download all of the textures.
