Simple Crafting Pool Extender

Simple Crafting Pool Extender

A small helper mod for other mods.

It lets mods add a 4th crafting tab (and beyond) to vanilla Simple-Crafting workbenches — starting with the Iron Workbench — so their items actually appear in the crafting UI instead of being silently dropped.

Do I need this?

Only if another mod you use lists it as a dependency. On its own it adds nothing you can see — it's plumbing that other mods rely on. If a mod requires it, your mod manager and mod.io will prompt you to install both.

What it fixes

Vanilla workbenches have room for exactly 3 crafting tabs. When a mod adds a craftable that needs a 4th, the game runs out of tab slots and the recipe never shows up (it logs "Not enough SimpleCraftingUIs… Needed at least 4, but only have 3"). This mod raises the limit to 5 tabs and fixes the navigation-arrow position so the extra tabs page correctly. It applies to the Iron, Wood and Copper Workbenches, Carpenter's Table, Forge, and other Simple-Crafting stations.

Safe for vanilla

• Workbenches using only 1–3 tabs are completely unchanged.
• Unused tab slots cost nothing — the game hides them exactly as it always has.

Requirements

• Core Keeper 1.2 or 1.3 (verified on 1.2.1.5 and 1.3.0.2)

For mod authors

Adding an item to a vanilla workbench? List SimpleCraftingPoolExtender as a required dependency in your ModBuilderSettings and mod.io will prompt players to install both. Without it, your recipe registers but never renders for players who don't already have a pool-expanding mod.
