Fast Crafting Grid reduces crafting UI lag on heavily modded Vintage Story servers.

Inspired by other crafting optimization mods and when I got annoyed by UI freezing.

  • replaces the crafting grid's recipe lookup with a much faster indexed matcher designed for large modpacks.
  • caches repeated grid states and adds lightweight prefilters for expensive recipe checks that can be triggered during inventory and UI updates.

In testing, the prefilter rejected over 99% of high-volume recipe checks from the client UI path, including handbook conflict scans triggered by crafting grid updates.

No gameplay changes. No recipe changes. Just less waiting for the crafting grid to figure out what you're making.

1.0.4 fastcraftinggrid 370 Jul 1st at 4:04 PM fastcraftinggrid-1.0.4.zip 1-click install

Prevented broken recipe outputs from crashing indexed crafting lookups and reduced unnecessary empty crafting output syncs.

1.0.3 fastcraftinggrid 121 Jun 30th at 10:40 PM fastcraftinggrid-1.0.2.zip 1-click install
  •  Fixed recipe index prewarm being started too early when another mod triggered the crafting grid Harmony prefix before level finalization.
  • `FindMatchingRecipe` now only uses an already built index; if the index is not ready yet, it falls back to vanilla matching instead of starting a build.
  • Index construction is now started only from the intended world ready prewarm path, avoiding builds before `LevelFinalize` / save load completion.

In my pack this mod is causing the crafting recipe with 8 red clay and 1 powdered calcinated flint to make fire clay to instead create ghost fire clay which then disappears, mucking around with the crafting grid reveals the materials are still there, reappearing when I click them. I tested this on multiple worlds, other recipes seem to work fine, and removing the mod immediately stopped the bug.

Hi. Would it be possible to create a version for 1.21.6?

I am running a server for me and friends that is 300+ mods strong and REALLY need something like this.

any posibility for a 1.22.2 working version?

Works on 1.22.2 just fine for me.

ohh, since the file says for 2.22.3 i was worried it would ask me to be in that version of the game to load it

Beat that other mod to fixing my report. :) Thanks!

Hi, how does this compare to OptiTime's "Recipe Lookup" optimization? I am going to do some testing myself but figured I would ask anyone here as well.

just checked and its pretty similar and probably will conflict I'm slowly working on a more broad patch atm for things I haven't seen fixed anywhere and keep annoying me in game

Thank you so much, Garward! I have over 50+ Mods (Went a bit overboard) on 1.22, and crafting with the grid was an absolute nightmare, especially with recipes requiring 2 or more tools. I am talking about 5-7 seconds per crafted item, and directly after testing it, there was ZERO lag or delay.

Rock on! I tried looking into addressing this and the best I could come up with was a crafting table haha
