Craft From Containers - Proximity Logic

Craft From Containers (CFC) is a technical marvel that eliminates the need to manually withdraw ingredients for crafting. If the materials are in a chest within your base, your character can 'reach' them automatically while at a workbench or fireplace.

Proximity & Radius

The mod functions by creating an invisible 'resource network' around your player character. By default, it scans for containers within a 10-20 block radius.

  • Smart Search: It prioritize resources in your backpack first, then checks chests in order of proximity.
  • Universal Support: Works at Workbenches, Chemical Stations, Forges, and Campfires.
  • Visual Feedback: When crafting, the UI displays how many total resources are available in your 'network,' not just your pockets.

Technical Safeguards

CFC is designed to prevent 'ghost items.' It performs a real-time check to ensure a container isn't being moved or destroyed while a crafting operation is in progress. It is highly optimized and adds negligible overhead to your server's tick rate.

Optimization Tip: Keep your 'input' chests near your crafting stations to ensure they are always within the scan radius.
