You can also configure block properties and choose from 30+ built-in behaviors like crop blocks, strippable logs, and seats players can sit on. - 🪑 **Furniture System**\ Build rotatable, entity-based furniture that doesn’t snap to the grid. The system supports item displays, text displays, and works seamlessly with popular modeling plugins like BetterModel and ModelEngine. - 🍳 **Recipe System**\ CraftEngine supports all standard recipe formats—shaped, shapeless, smelting, smithing, and brewing—and integrates with items from other famous item libraries. You also get access to result post-processors, visual crafting results and conditional crafting logic. ### **Why Choose CraftEngine?** - **Zero Client Modifications** – Leverages **smart packet interception** to deliver custom assets directly to vanilla clients, ensuring a hassle-free player experience. - **Automated Resource Pack Generation** – Dynamically builds and distributes **models and textures** —with support for **S3, Dropbox, Lobfile, or custom API hosting**. - **Advanced Custom Blocks** – Utilizes **ByteBuddy runtime class generation** for dynamic block states, enabling deep customization without breaking vanilla mechanics. - **Configuration-Driven Workflow** – Define content through **structured YAML** with template processing, version conditional logic, and multilingual support—no coding expertise needed. - **Optimized for Performance** – Features **chunk caching, compression, and efficient injection methods** to minimize server overhead. - **Broad Plugin Compatibility** – Integrates smoothly with **WorldEdit, PlaceholderAPI, and external item/model systems** for extended functionality. ### **Difference Between Versions** The plugin has no restrictions on player count. The paid version provides dedicated support and includes exclusive features, but is otherwise identical. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/wETR1OpO3WI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
