Crafting on a Stick guide for All the Mods 10 4.8 to 4.10

Crafting on a Stick lets you craft without placing a crafting table on the ground. It adds several workbenches on a stick. You use them straight from your hand to open the matching workbench wherever you are.^[1]

The main one is the Crafting Table, which works as a portable crafting table. The mod also adds these other workbenches on a stick:^[1][2]

• Crafting Table^[1]
• Anvil^[1]
• Loom^[1]
• Grindstone^[1]
• Cartography Table^[1]
• Stonecutter^[1]
• Smithing Table^[1]

This mod is for anyone who's tired of running back to a block every time they need to craft. If you're away from your base and need a quick recipe, you can pull out your stick instead of placing another crafting table.^[1][2]

Where it fits in the pack

You'll run into this mod right at the start. The quest "Crafting, but on a Stick" quest is in Chapter 1: The Beginning and unlocks after Putting the Craft in Minecraft. To complete it, you just need to get a Crafting Table.^[2]

This pack includes version 1.21.0.2 of the mod.^[3]

Your first stop with this mod is the Crafting Table. It's a portable crafting table, so you never have to run back to a placed block just to craft something.^[1][2]

Your first steps, in order

1. Finish the quest Putting the Craft in Minecraft in Chapter 1: The Beginning. The quest "Crafting, but on a Stick" quest comes right after it.^[2]
2. Craft the Crafting Table. Having that item is the whole task of the quest. The recipe is shown right below this list.^[2][4]
3. Use the item in hand to open a crafting grid wherever you are.^[1]
4. Put it in your Curios slot and open it with a keybind. The quest suggests setting your own keybind, and the mod's project page lists V as its default.^[1][2]

The pack changed this recipe from the mod's default, so use this version.

Why make it first

The quest text says it plainly: running to a block just to craft gets old. With the item in the Curios slot, you can open a crafting grid from anywhere with one keypress.^[1][2]

Other ways to get it

The pack also adds a large number of woodcutting recipes for the sawmill, and their output is the same crafting table on a stick. They cover many different log and wood types from several mods.^[4]

What comes later

The mod also adds an anvil, loom, grindstone, cartography table, stonecutter and smithing table on a stick. Like the crafting table version, you use them in hand to open the workstation.^[1]

Crafting on a Stick doesn't add machines, multiblocks, power or fluids. It does one simple thing: it puts a workstation in your inventory, so you never have to place a block on the ground.^[1]

How the sticks work

The mod adds these workstations on a stick: crafting table, anvil, loom, grindstone, cartography table, stonecutter and smithing table. Use one in hand to open that workstation.^[1]

• Crafting Table^[1][4]
• Anvil^[1][4]
• Loom^[1][4]
• Grindstone^[1][4]
• Cartography Table^[1][4]
• Stonecutter^[1][4]
• Smithing Table^[1][4]

The pack's recipe list also has separate sticks for the worn anvils, Chipped Anvil and Damaged Anvil. Each is made from the matching vanilla anvil and a stick.^[4]

Curios slot and keybind

The mod is compatible with Curios. Put your favorite workstation on a stick in the designated curios slot and press the keybind to open it. The default key is V.^[1]

Crafting the sticks

Each stick is a shaped crafting recipe that combines a stick with the matching vanilla workstation. That covers the anvil, loom, grindstone, cartography table, stonecutter and smithing table versions.^[4]

The other sticks follow the same pattern with their own vanilla workstation.

The crafting table on a stick is different in this pack. Its recipe is changed by the pack, so don't assume the mod's default applies. The recipe below is the exact in-pack version.^[4]

Sawmill shortcut for the crafting table stick

The pack also adds sawmill woodcutting recipes that output the crafting table on a stick directly. Each recipe takes the logs, wood and stripped variants of one tree type. Examples include Peach, Fungyss, Smogstem and Zelkova, and the dump lists 241 more recipes beyond the ones shown.^[4]

Crafting TableAdded by the pack

Woodcutting (sawmill)

• Peach Log
• Peach Stripped Log
• Peach Stripped Wood
• Peach Wood

Recipe id: sawmill:crafting_on_a_stick_crafting_table_0

Example: the Peach log, stripped log, stripped wood and wood all give a crafting table on a stick.

The sources show a single item for this mod in this pack: the Crafting Table, which works as a portable crafting table. So there is no ladder of tiers to climb here. Progression is getting it early and using it everywhere.^[2][4]

The quest

You'll find it in Chapter 1: The Beginning. The quest "Crafting, but on a Stick" quest comes after "Putting the Craft in Minecraft", and its task is to obtain the Crafting Table on a Stick. It sits right in the first chapter, which is great news if you hate running back to a crafting block.^[2]

How you get it

The pack changed the main crafting recipe for this item, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. Here's the exact in-pack recipe:^[4]

Recipe id: crafting_on_a_stick:crafting_table

This is the recipe as changed by the pack.

The pack also adds sawmill woodcutting recipes that produce the same item from log and wood blocks. They cover tree types from many other mods in the pack, and many of them include the stripped variants too. Each of those recipes outputs the Crafting Table on a Stick, so you can make it from whatever wood you have on hand.^[4]

Crafting on a Stick doesn't just sit next to the other mods in this pack. The pack adds extra sawmill recipes that turn wood from a long list of other mods into the Crafting Table. If you've been exploring modded biomes and have logs piling up, this is a handy use for them.^[4]

Sawmill recipes with modded wood

These recipes use the sawmill woodcutting recipe type and are added by the pack. Each one accepts a group of related wood blocks from a single tree type and gives you the Crafting Table on a Stick. Some trees accept the log, stripped log, wood and stripped wood. Others only accept the log and wood, and a few accept even less.^[4]

Woodcutting (sawmill)

• Zelkova Log
• Zelkova Wood

Recipe id: sawmill:crafting_on_a_stick_crafting_table_106

Biomes We Go woods work too. Here Zelkova takes only the log and the wood.

Here are some of the woods these recipes accept, grouped by the mod they come from:^[4]

• Productive Trees: fruit and nut trees such as Peach Log, Walnut Log and Sequoia Log, each with its stripped and wood variants.^[4]
• Biomes We Go: for example Zelkova Log, Sakura Log and Fir Log, with their wood blocks.^[4]
• Regions Unexplored: for example Cypress Log and Willow Log, plus Green Bioshroom Stem and its hyphae. Alpha Log has a recipe that accepts only the log.^[4]
• Deeper and Darker: Echo Log and Echo Wood, plus Blooming Stem and the stripped version.^[4]
• Undergarden, Twilight Forest and Eternal Starlight: Smogstem Log, Sortingwood Log and Jinglestem Log.^[4]
• Forbidden Arcanus, Integrated Dynamics and EvilCraft: Fungyss Stem, Menril Log and Undead Log.^[4]

Curios support

The mod works with Curios. You can put a workbench on a stick in the designated Curios slot and press a keybind to open it, and the mod's page gives V as the default key. The quest "Crafting, but on a Stick" quest sits in Chapter 1: The Beginning, after Putting the Craft in Minecraft, and mentions the same trick for the Crafting Table on a Stick.^[1][2]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

This mod only shows up in one quest in the pack, and it sits in the very first chapter, "Chapter 1: The Beginning". So you'll meet it early in your run.^[5]

Chapter 1: The Beginning

The quest is "Crafting, but on a Stick" quest. It unlocks after you finish the quest "Putting the Craft in Minecraft", so you'll do that one first.^[5]

The task is simple: you submit a Crafting Table. The quest text describes it as a portable crafting table, so you don't have to run back to a block every time you want to craft.^[5]

Unverified The sources don't say what rewards this quest gives, or whether any later quests depend on it.

Crafting on a Stick has been in All the Mods 10 since version 2.2 or earlier, and you'll still find it in All the Mods 10 4.10, where the pack ships version 1.21.0.2 of the mod.^[3]

Pack changes

• All the Mods 10 2.47: the mod was updated from 1.21.0.1 to 1.21.0.2.^[6]
• All the Mods 10 4.10: the pack still ships 1.21.0.2, the same version that arrived with the 2.47 update.^[3][6]

Unverified No mod changelogs were available for these versions, so this guide can't confirm what changed between 1.21.0.1 and 1.21.0.2. Any new features, fixes or recipe changes in that update are unverified.
