While thoroughly tested, remember to back up your worlds before upgrading and report any feedback or bugs on our official discord! --- Have you ever wanted to build your factory assembly lines flat on the floor instead of constructing towering, bulky vertical walls of machinery? **Create: Multiplanar Crafters** is a lightweight, high-performance addon for the **Create** mod that completely revolutionizes the **Mechanical Crafter**. It finally unlocks the ability to orient your crafting grids horizontally (along the X/Z axis), facing the sky! --- ## ✨ Key Features * 🧱 **Horizontal Crafting Grids**: Place your Mechanical Crafters flat on the ground. Items being crafted rest perfectly flat on the top face of the blocks, facing up for maximum visibility and clean under-floor automation lines! * ⚡ **Industrial-Grade Optimization (O(1) Cache)**: Built with server performance in mind. Grid classification logic uses a smart lazy-caching system that triggers *exactly once* and invalidates only when blocks are placed or broken—ensuring 0% continuous tick overhead even on giant factory matrices. * 🧩 **Expert Modpack Compatibility**: Fully supports asymmetrical, non-mirrored, and complex custom recipes (like giant expert-pack matrices). Coordinate projections line up perfectly with Create's front-facing arrows. * ⚙️ **Horizontal Kinetic Power**: Kinetic energy is seamlessly transmitted along the horizontal X/Z plane. Power your flat crafting arrays using horizontal cogwheels and shafts laid directly on your workshop floor. * 💥 **Tailored Visual Effects**: All item-merging animations, recipe-spawning particles (`CRIT`, item break textures), and visual effects are calculated to render flat on the top face of the blocks. * 📦 **Collision-Free Item Ejection**: Finished products are gently ejected upward from the top face of the output crafter, eliminating item-launching glitches caused by block collisions. * 🔧 **Zero Registry Overhead**: No new blocks are registered! The mod dynamically extends the vanilla Mechanical Crafter via Mixins, keeping your world lightweight and fully compatible with vanilla mechanics. --- ## 🛠️ How to Use in Game 1. **Place** your Mechanical Crafter on the floor. 2. **Use a Wrench** to rotate it horizontally so that the active grid face points straight up towards the sky. 3. **Connect** multiple crafters to form your flat horizontal recipe grid. 4. **Input rotational power** horizontally from any side using cogwheels or shafts. 5. **Right-click** the top face of the grid to insert crafting materials flat on the matrix. 6. Watch the mechanical magic unfold flat on the ground! --- ## 🗺️ Project Roadmap ### 🟩 v0.2 | Quality Update (Current) * **Performance & Cleanup**: Full integration of the O(1) lazy grid cache and deep bytecode refactoring. * **New Branding**: 100% handmade "Create-style" blueprint logo. * **Gallery Media**: High-quality screenshots and visuals of under-floor factories for the project pages. ### 🟨 v0.3 | Multi-Version Migration * **Cross-Version Architecture**: Setting up a robust abstraction layer to support multiple Minecraft versions cleanly. * **The Big Leap**: Preparing the codebase for the transition to version 26.1.1 running on Java 25. ### 🟨 v0.4 | Inverted Crafters Support * **Ceiling & Wall Matrices**: Expanding orientation management to allow grids to be placed upside-down (downward crafting) or anchored to any block face. ### 🔵 v0.5 | Developer API Implementation * **Mod Extensions**: Creating clean, native entry points to allow other developers and addon creators to interact directly with the multiplanar framework. ### 🔵 v0.6 | Wrench Integration * **Create Wrench Support**: Deep integration with Create's native Wrench tool to easily configure, rotate, and tweak the crafter grids on the fly. ### 🟣 v0.7 | Collaborative 3D Crafting * **Real-World Testing**: Partnering directly with modpack/mod creators to implement and test highly complex, custom 3D recipes in live environment conditions. ### 🟣 v0.8 | Final Polish * **Code Review**: Full security audit, logic hardening, and final stability patching. ### 🏁 1.0.0 | Official Production Release --- ## 📥 Installation & Compatibility * **Minecraft Version**: `1.21.1` * **ModLoader**: NeoForge (fully compatible with `21.1.x+`) * **Dependencies**: * (https://curseforge.com/minecraft/mc
