About
Effortless Crafting is a client-side quality-of-life mod that streamlines recipe-book crafting while preserving normal vanilla recipe interactions and working through standard container actions on vanilla servers. Recipe requests can use ingredients from your inventory or reachable containers, and modifier-based requests let you queue amounts, autocraft, or pull existing items from nearby storage instead of crafting them. Chain crafting can work backward from a requested item through missing intermediate recipes, such as turning logs into planks, sticks, and torches before crafting a comparator, with options to ask before proceeding or run automatically. Bulk mode removes the usual queue limit and repeatedly crafts large quantities of stackable or unstackable recipes, including dispensers and cake; bulk chain crafting can also make repeated batches from base materials until the request is filled or supplies run out. The mod plans bulk-chain batches around available inventory space, counts leftover materials toward later batches, returns unused pulled materials to their source chests, and stops cleanly if there is not enough room to continue. Nearby-container filters let players blacklist or whitelist storage, including individual containers, to avoid drawing from protected chests or sorters; cached contents and return handling help manage repeated crafting requests. Recipe-book conveniences include search history and autofocus, craftability and queue indicators, sorting by recent or craftable recipes, variant-specific recipe selection, and chat summaries of missing ingredients or bulk results. Crafted outputs can fill the hotbar from left to right or stack into the offhand, and settings allow players to adjust autocrafting, recipe variants, queue behavior, and container filtering. For bulk and chain sessions, adaptive pacing adjusts recipe placements to server limits, helping large crafts avoid rate limiting while keeping ordinary crafting responsive.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 2 files in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.11 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 11 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 11 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its code
The author declares AI code on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
