McCraftReach
Craft and upgrade using materials from containers within 50m, without pulling them out first. Ownership-safe, no item loss.McCraftReach
Craft and upgrade using materials from nearby containers, without pulling them out first.
What it does
Open any crafting station. Recipes you have the materials for — counting everything in containers within 50m — show as craftable, the ingredient counts include container stock, and crafting spends your own items first, then pulls the rest from the containers.
What it does NOT do (yet)
- Building pieces (hammer) still use only your inventory; this version covers the crafting station panel (craft + upgrade).
- Recipes that require only one ingredient (
requireOnlyOneIngredient, e.g. some foods) are not covered when you hold none of the ingredient yourself. - Smelters, kilns, cooking stations and other fuel/ore inputs are not fed from containers.

Why it does not lose or duplicate items
Removing from a container's inventory without owning its ZDO desyncs and can lose or dupe
items. Before removing, McCraftReach claims the container's ZDO, forces the latest blob to
sync and reloads the cache — the same protocol the game uses in RPC_TakeAllResponse —
then removes, which triggers the container's own Save because we now own it.
It only ever touches your inventory's CountItems / RemoveItem while a crafting method
is on the stack, so nothing outside the crafting screen is affected.
Multiplayer
Every player needs the mod. It works through ZDO ownership of the containers.
