Macro Crafting Manager v2.0
macro (by sorcerykid)

Macro Crafting Manager provides a streamlined drag-and-drop interface for dividing and arranging item stacks within the craft-grid. This mod is intended to be compatible with all versions of Minetest 0.4.14+. It has been in continuous use on the Just Test Tribute server since August 2017 with only minor revisions and no known bugs.

Usage Instructions:

Now even the most complex crafts like stairs, ladders, chests, rails, and fences are a breeze. What used to be a tiresome and mundane task of moving stacks endlessly around a craft grid, is literally as simple as dragging and dropping -- and voila! Here is what you need to know:

• (A) Macro Bar
  The Macro Bar provides 16 predefined macros to simplify the most common crafting tasks. Drag any item from your Main Inventory into the appropriate slot, and the stack will be arranged automatically within the Craft Grid.
  
  (B) Main Inventory
  The Main Inventory consists of 32 slots, including the hotbar. As usual, this is where you store your items after crafting.
  
  (C) Trash Can
  The Trash Can's sole purpose is the same as always: to expunge items. Its usage is self-explanatory.
  
  (D) Surplus Stack
  This slot holds the surplus stack from the previous macro operation. If you close the Macro Crafting Manager prematurely, these items will drop. Be sure to move them into your Main Inventory, otherwise they may be lost.
  
  (E) Output Stack
  Once the items within the Craft Grid conform to a recipe, this slot serves as a preview of the output stack. To actually perform the craft, the output stack must be moved into the Main Inventory or Craft Grid.
  
  (F) Craft Grid
  The Craft Grid is a secondary inventory intended for crafting items according to recipes found within the Craft Guide. Drag items from the Main Inventory directly into one of the 9 slots or use the Macro Bar.

If you have inventory_plus installed, you can access the the Macro Crafting Manager by clicking the "Macro" button from within your main inventory. Otherwise, you can simply use the "/x" chat command as a shortcut. In the near future I will add support for Unified Inventory.

For game developers, the Macro Crafting Manager also extends the default mod with the following helper function:

• default.drop_item( pos, item, horz, vert )
  Spawn item with a vertical velocity, vert, and a random horizontal velocity ranging between 0 and horz from the position, pos. The item may be specified as either an itemstring or an ItemStack object.

Unlike minetest.item_drop( ), this function is suitable for incidental drops that are independent of the player, such as tnt explosions or mob drops. An example would be:

Code: Select all

-- the mob should drop items with drop.chance probability in quantities between drop.min and drop.max
for _, drop in ipairs( self.drops ) do
        if math.random( 1, drop.chance ) == 1 then
                default.drop_item( pos, drop.name .. " " .. math.random( drop.min, drop.max ), 1, 5 )
        end
end

Just a quick note,

There is longstanding bug in which worn tools can be instantly repaired by dragging them into the Macro Bar. This will be fixed in the next version. For the time being, I'd recommend changing lines 118-119 to read

Code: Select all

                -- check that extra slot is empty and stack is a non-worn tool
                if not extra:is_empty( "main" ) or stack:get_wear( ) > 0 then

I successfully tested the code above with both a variety of items, including worn and non-worn tools, and it prevents the exploit.

I'm currently using unified inventory, but I would like to know if that arrow near the crafting output is meant for sending the results to the inventory in a single click (like uiplus "all" button does) or for browsing the multiple possible outputs for the same recipe (like 2 mods using the same recipe for 2 different items).
There was a minecraft crafting manager mod featuring the last one and I've been searching a similar one for minetest.

Well... that wasn't my question, but thanks for the quick answer (and sorry for taking so long to reply).
My question was if the "<<" button was a "next page" button (for when a single recipe has 2 or more different outputs) OR an "all" button (like in the mod you mentioned).

I made a poor choice of words that left my question unclear. Sorry about that.

The mod above is not called "macro crafting", it is called Unified Inventory Plus. This is the only mod that has ever used the word macro crafting to describe its functionality, and hence also its name.

The arrow buttons move items in bulk from the Surplus Stack and the Craft Grid into the main inventory. Hope that clarifies :)

I see... Thanks for clarifying that :)
And sorry about the silly questions I asked x_X

[sorcerykid]

Nothing silly about your question. It was my oversight for not documenting what those buttons actually do xD

I'll fix the first post to be more descriptive. Thanks for the heads up!
