Have you ever wanted to craft something, but the materials were sitting in a chest and you were too lazy to take them out—or your inventory was too full to hold them? This is Quantum Crafting! It automatically scans nearby containers and uses the materials inside them to craft items. No more carrying stacks of logs everywhere~ This mod is compatible with the Bug Tracker mod. If you encounter any issues, you can use Bug Tracker to send error reports to me via email (which is more efficient), or you can leave feedback in the comments section. Parts of this mod are based on code from Show Me (origin), Finder, and Bug Tracker. If you enjoy this mod, please consider giving it a positive rating. Thank you!

Updates:
V1.3.17: Fixed a bug where crafting could sometimes not consume materials, and greatly reduced lag. - Ingredient checks no longer leak into non-crafting systems (Wortox souls, rope bridges, pumpkin carving...), which previously let those abilities trigger without consuming materials. - Burnt or destroyed chests are no longer treated as valid material sources within the cache window ("ghost materials"). - Removing ingredients now targets the container that actually holds the item, instead of a dead code path. - Fixed already-opened chests being double-counted in the crafting UI. - Crafting menu ingredient queries are now cached per tick (~50x faster). - Container sync is now coalesced per frame, skipped when unchanged, and length-capped to avoid truncation. - Fixed a possible crash on startup / world join after the V1.3.17 update. V1.3.16: Fixed an issue where container ingredients could not be consumed correctly during crafting. V1.3.15: Fixed a bug where the container type could be nil. V1.3.14: Fixed a bug where the prefab could be nil. V1.3.13: Fixed issues where some materials could not be found or crafted. V1.3.12: Refactored and standardized the code. V1.3.11: Fixed a crash caused by a nil value at line 186.
