Crafting Guide for Minecraft

Crafting Guide is the ultimate resource for Minecraft. Whether you're punching trees or building reactors, you'll find Crafting Guide indispensable.

• Can't remember the recipe for a BuildCraft Quarry?
• Curious to see all the blocks added by Railcraft?
• Want step-by-step directions for making a full IC2 QuantumSuit?

No problem. Crafting Guide can do it all.

Configure which mods you're using, and the entire site will update itself to your mod pack.

Browse through your own customized item catalog to see full recipe lists, related items, recipes added by each tool, and even which items can be made from the item you're looking at.

Craft any number of items from your mod pack to see a full list of raw ingredients, and recipe-by-recipe instructions on how to make everything on your list. No item is too complex, and no build is too big.

I've been working on improving the crafting plan a bit. You're now able to represent recipes which require a stack of inputs (e.g., making Fused Quartz from EnderIO). This allows for a number of improvements, especially in how fluids are handled. Check out the crafting plan for a Cryo-Stabilized Fluxduct, for example.

I've just added a site-wide search feature right next to the other navigation controls. Just click it and start typing to find any item in your active mod pack. Head over to the configure page to adjust what mods are in your pack.

The really big news, though, is that Thiago Belem's real project is complete: Extra Utilites! One of the most highly requested mods, this is a fantastic addition to the growing list of mods supported by Crafting Guide. A huge "Thank You!" to Thiago for his contributions!

Thanks to Thiago Belem, Crafting Guide now has support for Ender Storage! While it's only a few items, it's a very handy mod well worth having in your mod pack! Thanks, Thiago!

You've asked for it, and now it's finally here... Mekanism support is now available! There is one important caveat... I can't figure out the exact quantities of all the various liquid-based recipes, so the numbers have been completely omitted for that part and probably are a bit incorrect. If you have any further information about those recipes, please let me know!

BuildCraft just got an upgrade to the latest version, 6.4.6. This is a much bigger upgrade than it may seem because this actually adds a lot of missing items and recipes all the way back to BuildCraft 4.x. So, now you can enjoy crafting plans which include the new integration table, lenses, filters, and... Robots!

I've just added support for ProfMobius' excellent JABBA (Just Another Better Barrel Attempt). Thanks for the anonymous suggestion via the Configure page! If Crafting Guide is missing a mod you use, feel free to head over there to suggest it.

I've also added support for Iron Chests, and with them, I've taken advantage of some of the new features of the site to add descriptions for each item.

I spent some time today cleaning up the various animations throughout the site, and working on page rendering performance. Things should generally feel a lot smoother now.

Recently, I've been working on allowing mod authors to add more detail to the item pages here on Crafting Guide. To that end, there are a couple of new features to announce. First, item detail pages can now show text and pictures to describe the item (check out the Assembly Table for an example). Second, mods can now include tutorial pages containing similar text and pictures to describe tricky concepts, complex builds, or anything else their mod has to offer (see Gates, Wires, and Chips for an example). Finally, both item pages and tutorial pages can display a list of YouTube videos. Only a few pages in the Buildcraft section have been updated so far, but keep an eye out for more to come!

And... the second piece of news is that Crafting Guide now supports Thermal Dynamics! This mod is an off-shoot from Thermal Expansion which contains all the ducts (item, fluid and redstone flux) you're used to from TE3 plus some extras both for higher capacity throughput and combining item ducts with redstone flux ducts.

Happy Friday! For the weekend, you get Big Reactors! Enjoy!

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity and effort of Sheldon Griffin, Crafting Guide now supports Forestry! Forestry is not a small mod, but he put in a huge effort, and it looks great. If you'd like to help out too, head over to the GitHub Wiki for full instructions: no programming required!

Also in the works is another significant expansion to the item pages. I've got the coding part finished (you can peek at the final result here), and now there's a lot of entering data left to be done... any volunteers?

It may seem like not much has been happening lately, but that's because all the changes have been behind the scenes, and focused on making Google happier with the site. This will make the site show up better is search results, and will make it load a bit faster.

As a result of this work, the site also now qualifies for AdSense. I absolutely don't want to choke the site with ads as other big sites do, but it will be nice to pay the bills!

This release delivers the second major expansion of Crafting Guide! Here's the list of what's new:

• New home page!
• Moved the crafting planner (the old home page) to its own Craft page
• Moved mod pack management to the new Configure page
• Added a Browse page where you can peruse the list of supported mods
