Have you ever started a big Minecraft project, crafted a few items, and then realized halfway through that you massively underestimated the materials?
How Much Do I Actually Need is a client side utility mod that removes all guesswork from crafting and planning.

This mod calculates the true material cost of any craftable item by recursively resolving all required sub recipes. Instead of guessing how much leather, paper, planks, or other resources you might need, the mod shows you the full breakdown instantly in a clean in game interface.
