Visual Workbench makes crafting tables feel more alive by keeping items inside the grid while you work. 🧰 No more disappearing ingredients. Everything stays visible and organized as you craft.

If you break the block, all contents drop on the ground just as you would expect. 📦 Crafting ingredients and the resulting item are also rendered directly on top, giving the table a clean and satisfying visual touch.

Simple, intuitive, and a nice visual upgrade to a familiar block. ✨

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Thanks to Prototik for the original idea and most of the rendering code from their RealBench mod.

🌟 Thanks to Tfarecnim for the Just Enough Items plugin code from their Crafting Station mod.

🌟 Thanks to Daomephsta from the Fabric Discord for pointing me into the right direction for supporting modded crafting tables on Fabric.
