Crafter block in Minecraft
The Crafter is a crafting table that works on its own: give it a redstone pulse and it crafts the recipe in its grid once, then spits out the result. It makes fully automatic crafting lines possible.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 5 × Iron Ingot, Crafting Table and Dropper. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier stone).
What it does
Its 3 by 3 grid follows the same recipes as a Crafting Table. Click a slot while it is empty to lock it, so that hoppers cannot fill it: that is how you keep the shape of a recipe when items arrive automatically.
Each redstone pulse crafts the recipe once. The result comes out of the front, or goes straight into a container placed there, such as a Chest or another Crafter. Leftovers, like empty buckets, are pushed out too.
Feed it with Hoppers and read it with a Redstone Comparator, which counts filled and locked slots, to craft only when the grid is complete.
How to craft
// Slots with several items cycle through every accepted option.
