FAQ
How do shaped keys work?
Each pattern letter maps via letter=item lines, for example D=minecraft:diamond.
Shapeless order?
Order usually does not matter for shapeless crafting; list each ingredient item.
Is data uploaded?
No. JSON is built locally.
Extra notes
This BeeForge tool runs entirely in your browser so drafts, commands, and preview text never need to leave your device for processing. Keep a backup of long outputs in your own notes if you rely on them for production servers or live events. Syntax can change between game or client versions, so verify commands and JSON in a creative world or staging pack before shipping to players. If a paste fails in chat, use a command block, function file, or datapack entry instead of relying on the 256 character chat limit. Accessibility friendly labels come from the module UI strings, and the layout follows the shared BeeForge .bf-tool shell for consistent spacing and buttons.
Support for educators, content creators, and server staff is the same client-side model: open the page, configure options, copy or download, then paste into your workflow. BeeForge related links at the bottom of the tool page point to companion generators so you can move between related gaming utilities without hunting the hub.
