📋 About This Mod

# Visual Crafting Visualizes the crafting process ## Compatibility Compatible with Spigot & Paper 1.16.5 - 1.21.9 ## How it works **1.16.5-1.19.3:** The plugin downloads the Minecraft textures directly from Mojang and displays them on invisible maps. Please note that not all items and blocks can be displayed (for example stairs). **1.19.4+:** The plugin utilizes the new item display entities to display the items. All items and blocks are supported, even custom ones from resource packs. ## Visual Crafting compared to other similar plugins Visual Crafting is a lightweight alternative to many other more performance intensive plugins. * Visual Crafting does not store any items in any blocks * Visual Crafting only supports crafting tables (for now) * Visual Crafting utilizes invisible item frames, maps and display entities (completely client side) * Visual Crafting does not utilize armor stands or any server side entities * Visual Crafting is free To sum it all up: Visual Crafting has less features than other similar plugins, but it doesn't cause any lag and it's completely free. ## Installation 1. Download the plugin 2. Drop the plugin into your plugins folder 3. Restart your server 4. (Optional) Configure the plugin (permission etc) It's that simple! On 1.16.5-1.19.3 the first start might take a little while depending on your server hardware since the plugin has to download all of the textures. ## Support Please join my ('https://discord.gg/brb9eYp57E') if you have any questions or if you encounter any bugs.
