How It Works

Crafting weapons here is a bit different from how you craft things in most mods. Instead of crafting inside the crafting table and placing your items on the grid, you’ll instead be dropping the item on top of the physical crafting table block.

When dropping items on top of a crafting table, they will automatically align centered perfectly to the block. You also won’t be able to pick up the items unless the crafting table is broken or you get really close to grab them.

If you don’t know the specific recipe of a weapon, you can use /trigger spellbound_recipes in game to view them.

Once all the correct items are on top of the crafting table, the item will be crafted.

Why are they Made like This?

This method of crafting is known as “Drop Crafting” is what is being used to make these items. This is mostly because of the limitation of datapacks, as Spellbound Weapons is a datapack packaged as a mod. There are some other methods of making crafting systems in datapacks but those come with their issues too.
