Description from the author on Modrinth

Crafter Backport Mod

The Snapshot 23w42a brought us the Crafter, adding automatic crafting, something we thought Mojang would never actually do. Yet it was also added in a very "Minecrafty" way and not something like out of a tech modpack.

This mod reverse engineers the Crafter as accurately as possible, down to the GUI, redstone (with a caveat), and crafting algorithm.

This is still revolutionary, so I decided to continue an early backport of the original github.com/QuackImpala7321/AutoCrafterEarly by QuackImpala7321 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. QuackImpala7321 developed this for only 1.20 to get the Crafter block unlocked earlier before it's 2024 release, so I wanted to add it for even more previous versions, for both Fabric and Forge.

The redstone delay is set to 1 tick instead of the 4 game tick nerf.
