Crafting Guide

craftguide is the most comprehensive crafting guide on Minetest.

Consult the Minetest Wiki for more details.

This crafting guide is a blue book named "Crafting Guide" or a wooden sign.

This crafting guide features a progressive mode. The progressive mode is a Terraria-like system that only shows recipes you can craft from items in inventory. The progressive mode can be enabled with craftguide_progressive_mode = true in minetest.conf.

craftguide is also integrated in sfinv (Minetest Game inventory) when you enable it with craftguide_sfinv_only = true in minetest.conf.

Use the command /craft to show the recipe(s) of the pointed node.
