Fast Crafting Grid is a Vintage Story mod by Garward. Fast Crafting Grid speeds up crafting-grid recipe searches, reducing UI stalls on heavily modded Vintage Story servers without changing recipes.
Why this mod is worth installing
This QoL mod is useful for players running large modpacks where opening or updating the crafting grid causes noticeable pauses. It changes performance, not gameplay.
What Fast Crafting Grid adds
Fast Crafting Grid replaces the usual recipe lookup with an indexed matcher that can handle large collections of modded recipes more efficiently. The goal is to make the crafting interface respond faster when many recipes are available.
The mod also remembers recently checked grid states and applies inexpensive filters before running costly recipe checks. This reduces repeated work during inventory changes, crafting-grid updates, and related handbook searches.
It does not add items, alter recipes, or change crafting rules. Its only purpose is to reduce the time the interface spends determining which recipe matches the current grid.
