Crafter at a glance

Crafter comes from crafting, and Redstone is where it sits as a redstone component. Stack Crafter 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

Wire Crafter into a circuit and it becomes part of the timing: redstone builds are made of components like this, each one deciding what the next block sees. The game rates Crafter at 1.5 hardness. It only drops for stone and up. Explosions work against a resistance of 3.5. Crafter sits between Copper Bulb and Daylight Detector in Redstone, number 4 of 29 there.

Building with it

A crafter holds a recipe and builds it whenever a redstone pulse arrives, which is the first time in the game that crafting itself became automatic. Fed by hoppers and triggered by a clock, it turns raw materials into finished items with nobody standing at the table.

In practice

A crafter holds its recipe and builds one output per pulse, and the slots can be switched off so a hopper cannot fill them unevenly. Fed by hoppers and driven by a clock, it turns a farm's raw output into finished items with nobody standing at a table.
