Changes
🚀 Create: Multiplanar Crafters - v0.2.0
This update focuses entirely on performance optimization, code cleanup, and a critical orientation fix for custom recipes.
⚡ Performance & O(1) Grid Caching
Previously, checking whether a Mechanical Crafter was vertical or horizontal required a recursive BFS (Breadth-First Search) grid traversal on every single tick. On large setups, this caused massive micro-stuttering.
- Lazy Caching: The grid lookup now runs exactly once and caches the result.
- Smart Invalidation: The cache is only cleared when a block is placed, broken, or wrenched. Lookup during active crafting is now instantaneous (O(1)).
- In-Game Benchmarks (Massive Matrices):
- v0.1.x: Regular server/client spikes peaking up to 33 ms+.
- v0.2.0: Perfectly flat and stable frametimes at 13 ms - 14 ms average. Micro-stuttering completely eliminated.
📊 Performance Comparison (v0.1.x vs v0.2.0):

🛠️ Fixes & Cleanups
- Asymmetrical Recipe Fix: Corrected block-facing coordinate projections. Asymmetrical and non-mirrored custom recipes (like the complex shapes found in major modpacks) now match and assemble flawlessly on horizontal grids.
- Mixin Optimization: Stripped out 6 redundant redirects inside the renderer Mixin, reducing bytecode overhead and improving loading times.
- Silent Logs: Removed temporary debugging injections to keep the server console clean during crafting.
- Version Bump: Formally moving into the 0.2.x production cycle.
📦 Compatibility
- Minecraft: 1.21.1
- NeoForge: 21.1.230+
- Create: 6.0.10

Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
