BetterCrafter

**BetterCrafter** is a lightweight auto‑crafting overhaul with custom recipes, upgrades, and in‑game GUIs. Create recipe templates, tune speed/difficulty/yield, and automate crafting with performance‑friendly settings and hopper support. Optional Vault and DecentHolograms support. Spigot/Paper 1.18+ Use "/bettercrafter" or "/bc" command to look up commands Key Features: 1. The Auto Crafting Block (ACB) - Physical Machine: Built on a Dispenser base, allowing blocks to be stacked up to 64 in the inventory. - Persistent Progress: Machines retain their Speed, Processing, and Yield levels even when broken and moved. - Visual Feedback: Features a dynamic floating hologram above every machine, displaying the current recipe and real-time status (Active/Idle/Offline). 2. Triple-Path Upgrade System (Economy Integrated) - Speed Upgrades: Increase the frequency of crafting, reaching speeds as high as 0.1 seconds per craft. - Processing Upgrades: Unlock the ability to craft more complex recipes (Easy → Medium → Hard). - Yield Upgrades: Efficiency training that gives the machine a chance to produce double output for the same cost of ingredients. - Fully Configurable: All costs, speeds, and unlocks are managed via a dedicated upgrades.yml 3. Advanced Recipe Management - Manual Pattern Creator: A guided 3x3 editor (/bc createrecipe) with category selection and a result slot pointer. - Admin Manager: A powerful suite (/bc manage) allowing admins to toggle recipes, cycle their categories, or edit patterns instantly without touching files. 4. "Smart" Automation & Security - Ingredient Filtering: ACBs automatically reject any "junk" items pushed by hoppers that aren't in the selected recipe. - Overfill Protection: Prevents hoppers from clogging the machine with too much of a single ingredient. - Export Security: Hoppers can only pull the finished product from an ACB, never the raw materials. - Machine Limits: Configurable per-player limits to ensure server performance and economy balance. limits.yml 1.1.0 update: /bc clearacb <player|uuid> admin command to remove all player’s placed ACBs. Range‑based activation (acb_active_range) and state‑based check intervals in limits.yml. Custom item support (model data, enchantments, skulls, lore, unbreakable, glow, etc.). Permissions per recipe. Optional PlaceholderAPI integration for stats. Optional DecentHolograms integration for status display (Active/Idle/Offline) Range‑based activation and performance‑oriented scheduling for large servers. Optional LuckPerms integration.
