# RS Extended Crafting (RSEC)

A Minecraft 1.16.5 Forge mod that bridges **Refined Storage** and **Extended Crafting**, enabling autocrafting of Extended Crafting table recipes through the RS network.

## What It Does

Place an **Extended Crafter** block on your RS network with an **Auto Table** directly below it. Insert processing patterns (encoded via the RS Large Patterns encoder or standard RS patterns) and RS will automatically craft Extended Crafting table recipes — just like it handles any other processing recipe.

**Supports all table tiers:**
- Basic Auto Table (3×3)
- Advanced Auto Table (5×5)
- Elite Auto Table (7×7)
- Ultimate Auto Table (9×9)

## How To Use

1. Craft or obtain an **Extended Crafter** block
2. Place it on your RS network (connects via cable like any RS machine)
3. Place an **Auto Table** of the appropriate tier directly below the crafter
4. Encode your EC table recipe as a processing pattern (the pattern just needs the right input items and output — positioning is handled automatically)
5. Insert the pattern into the crafter's GUI (right-click to open)
6. Request the craft from your RS crafting grid

The crafter automatically:
- Looks up the correct recipe from the EC recipe registry
- Programs the Auto Table with the correct grid layout
- Matches item variants for tagged/unified ingredients
- Handles recipe swapping between different patterns
- Recovers from save/reload mid-craft

## Setup / Building

### Requirements
- Java 8 JDK
- Minecraft 1.16.5
- Forge 36.2.x

## Dependencies for Players

This mod requires the following mods to be installed:
- [Refined Storage](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/refined-storage)
- [Extended Crafting](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/extended-crafting)

## Known Limitations

- Each Extended Crafter uses recipe storage slot 0 on its Auto Table — don't share a table between multiple crafters or manual use
- 9 pattern slots per crafter (use multiple crafters for more patterns)
- The crafter determines grid layout from the EC recipe registry, not from the pattern — the pattern only needs correct items and counts
