@VTuberFan727 sure, ill add it for the next update

@FallenLoki420 ill see if i can add something discrete to represent this

Is there any way to turn on research discovery for items in the Crafting menu (Journey Mode). Not knowing if i need to research items or not is a hassle, Example when building a wooden table i thought i researched it, but when i have the table in my actual inventory it says it needs 1 for research. Would love to see what needs research progress as this mod is great

ability to lock position of windows?
Jake  [author] Oct 12 @ 11:55pm 
@Tamamoland sure

Can we also get an option to rebind the inspect button off of mouse3? I dunno if it's just my mouse or what but it is a struggle to get Terraria to actually register that I'm middle clicking

@Dr_Overdose coming next update

Only wish for this mod would be the ability to resize the window.
Jake  [author] Aug 24 @ 3:33pm 
@Saturnine there is a config option to control whether or not the crafting menu opens when you open your inventory.

the guide's functionality isn't removed. its expanded. there's a material slot and a tile slot in the crafting menu where you can place materials or crafting stations to view relevant recipes
Saturnine Aug 24 @ 12:37pm 
It's OK, for some reason it provides an option for its proprietary, tiny trash icon to close the entire inventory menu but no option for it to NOT come up every time you open your inventory unless you explicitly close out of it, like the vanilla crafting interface does (or at least is much easier to ignore).

If you have it override the default crafting interface, it removes the Guide's functionality completely, and only provides a fraction of that information on its own. May not be an issue for you, but it was for me, and I don't want my entire inventory screen taken up by crafting guis

It reminds me of the old legacy crafting interface that consoles had back in the day
Nil May 13 @ 1:06pm 
hold left click on it and drag it around or right click i forgot

Is it possible to move the window-panel which shows the ingredients somewhere else?
Id like it to appear on the right corner instead of the left

Cant you just use the guide?

How to see materials
Demonface96 Mar 25 @ 12:46am 
please let me see recipes i have the materials for but not enough to actually make and please add some sort of way to see how many of the item you have it gets really confusing when its paired with craft from container i know that isnt necessarily your fault but it would just be a huge quality of life feature imo

@FeiTa073 hold right click on the mouse
Jake  [author] Feb 2 @ 8:46am 
@Test Subject: N3WB middle click on the recipe to reveal its details
FeiTa073 Jan 30 @ 11:17am 
Although the crafting desktop is better-looking, items can only be crafted one by one, and multiple items cannot be long-pressed like the original
The_furf_of_July Jan 22 @ 11:23pm 
It's not showing tooltips for me
Sona Jan 21 @ 10:22pm 
For some reason after a while the mod no longer showed me the item name and description, no clue if it is a key bind I pushed on accident.
GuyInTux Jan 11 @ 4:41pm 
Alr cool!
Jake  [author] Jan 10 @ 11:45pm 
@GuyInTux coming in the next update
GuyInTux Jan 10 @ 3:36pm 
Hello a nice thing to also add would the ability to resize the crafting menu... Cus us with big screens may have a hard time seeing...

Jake  [author] Jan 4 @ 5:23pm 
@stako that will be the default behavior for the next update
stako Jan 4 @ 12:51pm 
can we have an option to always have the ingredients menu open?
Kvd Dec 7, 2024 @ 12:47pm 
@Jake Oh I see. Thank you! This is a really good mod!!
Jake  [author] Dec 7, 2024 @ 10:14am 
@Kvd you can customize the keybinding in your controls menu
Kvd Dec 7, 2024 @ 4:29am 
Hi Jake, is it possible to add more configs for keybindings, so I can use another key to open the recipe window. Thank you!
Jake  [author] Nov 18, 2024 @ 5:05pm 
@Boly i am unable to replicate this issue.
Boly Nov 18, 2024 @ 2:28pm 
The guide just ate a stack of items when I was asking him for a recipe this mod sucks.
Wumborine Oct 25, 2024 @ 7:30am 
Can we have a keybind to toggle the "Craft to hand" button?
aubri Sep 21, 2024 @ 8:24am 
thank you sooo much!
Jake  [author] Sep 16, 2024 @ 12:39pm 
@lawura glad everything is working properly now
lawura Sep 16, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
@Jake

After some adjustments, I have completely reset the tML profile, and the mod is now functioning as expected. It is likely that something became corrupted during the last update, which also caused the settings file to not save updates properly.
Jake  [author] Sep 16, 2024 @ 10:51am 
@DecalMan check the details of the recipe and make sure its not a free recipe.
DecalMan Sep 16, 2024 @ 6:48am 
There's a bug, when I click the crafting icon to bring up this mod its defaults to showing 3 items, dirt block, rope, & dirt wall.

I can click and take these out of the crafting window an infinite amount.
Jake  [author] Sep 15, 2024 @ 10:52am 
@lawura i think something might actually be broken with your mouse. or your keybindings. looking at my code, left clicking a recipe will only craft it. and middle clicking will only open a details window. can you maybe try another mouse or check any software that may change the behavior of it?

I cannot replicate these issues on my end. see if your friends experience this issue as well
lawura Sep 15, 2024 @ 7:26am 
Hey @Jake,

The earlier issues are all sorted out now!

But now, middle-click isn’t opening the ingredients window
- unless I’m actually crafting the item,
- or if I click on the crafting item while holding another item (with "craft to hand" checked),
- or when I’m filtering for an item and I don’t have enough ingredients to craft it (which is pretty obvious).

I thought it might be because I had MMB bound to grapple, but the problem still pops up even after I changed the binding.

I also ran into a little settings glitch: after the update, the position settings wouldn’t save, no matter if I tried it from the mods menu or in-game. The settings file was totally empty, just had the basic JSON brackets. I deleted the old settings file, and the new one is working great now!

I’m happily using the mod again; the recipe issue is manageable, but it would be nice to see that fixed too!
lawura Sep 15, 2024 @ 4:52am 
Thanks for checking it out, I'll try it again.

To answer your question, no, I don't have any modifiers for the smart cursor. The mod wworks the same way in a clean environment with no other mods on, just using the default Terraria settings.
Jake  [author] Sep 14, 2024 @ 12:27pm 
@lawura i have pushed an update to fix both your issues
Jake  [author] Sep 14, 2024 @ 12:23pm 
@lawura nvm, i think i found your first issue. but that should only happen if you're holding down the smart cursor key. do you have a mod that modifies your smart cursor?
Jake  [author] Sep 14, 2024 @ 12:12pm 
@lawura ive fixed your second issue, but im not sure how you are opening an ingredient window every time you craft something. could you be more specific?
lawura Sep 14, 2024 @ 5:48am 
Latest updates have introduced a few issues:

1) Regardless of the settings, an ingredient window opens with every individual crafting action. This increases the load on processing memory, leading to significant lag until all the windows are closed. I have a fairly powerful machine, and it's uncommon for it to become overloaded.

2) The hotkey does not close the additional windows, and closing the inventory does not dismiss them either. They must be manually closed after each craft or several times during the crafting session, depending on the number of items being crafted.

This behavior persists even with this mod as the only one enabled.

I appreciate the mod and have attempted to continue using it despite these challenges. However, upon reflection, I feel that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, so I have decided to disable it for now. I hope you can address these issues soon.
starr274 Aug 15, 2024 @ 4:28pm 
is it possible to make it easier to show the config option that allows use of the regular crafting interface rather then just the single craft to hand window, so pepole don't think that this mod only allows hand crafting and disables all other crafting recipes ?
Jake  [author] Jul 8, 2024 @ 1:09pm 
@Cafinatedzombie turn off auto pause
Cafinatedzombie Jul 8, 2024 @ 9:40am 
I'm having an issue where I can't hold the right mouse button to craft multiple items. Anyone else having this issue? I've tried resetting all of my key bindings and deleting and re downloading the mod with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Everything seems to be working properly now!
Jake  [author] Jul 6, 2024 @ 3:41pm 
@Zauberin Stardreamer try the newest update and see if it fixes your issues
