Description from the author on Modrinth

Handy Tables

Use your crafting table, stonecutter, loom, cartography table, smithing table, grindstone and anvil
straight from your inventory: middle-click the item and it opens, no need to place it.

Always leaving crafting tables behind wherever you go? Tired of placing a table just to craft one
thing and then breaking it again? This is the mod for you.

Features

  • Seven stations in your pocket: crafting table, stonecutter, loom, cartography table, smithing

table, grindstone and anvil. Middle-click one in your inventory and its screen opens, exactly as
if you had placed it: no more carrying a table around to put down and pick up again.

  • From any screen: your inventory, a chest, a barrel, a furnace or another station. Jump from

the crafting table to the stonecutter without closing anything.

  • Creative too: in creative, where middle click copies items, hold Ctrl (Cmd on macOS) while

middle-clicking. It follows your "Pick Block" mouse button if you moved it.

  • Back where you were: middle-click the station again and you return to the chest (or barrel,

furnace...) you opened it from, or to your inventory.

  • Your station stays put: while you use it, a small padlock keeps it in its slot so a stray

click or key can't move or drop it. Carrying a stack? Only the one in use is locked: the spares
can be moved, dropped or added to as usual.

  • The recipe book plays along: it never uses the station in your hand as an ingredient.
  • A real grindstone and anvil: the grindstone gives you the experience from removing

enchantments, and the anvil wears out just like a placed one: chipped, damaged, then broken.

  • Sounds right: each station plays its placing sound when it opens, for you only. You can turn

it off in the settings.

  • Works with Shulker Toolkit: craft with the materials inside your shulker boxes and keep their

windows open next to every station.

  • Lightweight: no cost while you play; it only does something when you click.
  • Languages: English, Español (España), Español (México), Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal),

Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Türkçe, Русский, Українська, 简体中文, 繁體中文,
日本語 and 한국어.

Servers

Install it on both client and server: the server is the one that opens the stations. Singleplayer
works out of the box. On servers without the mod, middle click stays vanilla. Server owners can turn
each station off for other players in config/handytables-server.json.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.3 · Fabric Loader 0.19.5+ · Fabric API · Java 25. Mod Menu optional (settings screen).
