💡 PRO TIPS

✅ Timed vs Instant Crafting! Set TimeCrafting to 0 for instant crafts, or use seconds for delayed crafting (60 = 1 minute, 300 = 5 minutes, 900 = 15 minutes, etc.) ✅ Smart Inventory Control! Use inventory: 1 for small items (weapons, tools, food) so they go directly to player inventory. Use inventory: 0 for large items (backpacks, storage boxes) to spawn on ground. ✅ Offline Crafting! Players can start a long craft (like 15 minutes) and disconnect. When they return, their item will be ready! ✅ Up to 5 ingredients per recipe! Create simple 2-ingredient crafts or complex 5-ingredient masterpieces. ✅ Custom Names in Any Language! Use DisplayName to set recipe names in Spanish, English, or any language you want - not limited by game translations! ✅ Show Different Items in Previews! Use DisplayPic to show assembled furniture while crafting a furniture kit, or show a base card model while crafting specific numbered cards. ✅ Unlimited recipes! You can add infinite crafting recipes to the JSON file. The default config includes examples with various ingredient counts and craft times. ✅ Live editing! The server checks for JSON changes every 60 seconds. Edit recipes on the fly without restarting! ✅ Works with modded items! Use any classname from any mod. If the item exists in your server, you can craft it. [hr]
