Review Visual Workbench [Legacy Fabric]

Visual Effects for Workbench

The player has to interact with different items in Minecraft, and he crafts and creates new elements, weapons, armor as he develops in the game world. He needs a workbench to craft different items, at all the game stages, both in the vanilla version of the game and in the modified one. In this article, we’ll tell you about the Visual Workbench add-on, which adds several visual effects to the workbench to slightly improve the look of this item and just diversify the content in Minecraft. It was created by one of the most popular developers, the author of Mutant Monsters, Straw Statues, Stylish Effects, Easy Magic, and many other add-ons that can boast of millions of downloads.

The Visual Workbench mod adds visual effects to Minecraft, which will not only improve appearance of Minecraft, but also help you craft different items, interact with resources and ingredients. After all, you is most likely familiar with the problems of taking a certain number of blocks, putting everything on the workbench, and then discovering that you are missing something or took wrong items. What can you do? Put everything from the workbench back into the inventory, go search for additional materials, and then lay them out again. It isn’t a very convenient system, and the Visual Workbench developer has fixed these bugs. You’ll definitely like it…

With the Visual Workbench mod, crafting new items in Minecraft will not only be more enjoyable, but also much more convenient, since the developer of this add-on has added unique functions to the game: now, all the items you put inside won’t be reset if you leave the workbench. That is, they actually remain inside. This is a very convenient option, since the player now can add resources to the crafting bench at any time, move away for changing location urgently. Even if the player dies, everything remains in the workbench if it has been put there. This is a very important mechanic for Minecraft, but unfortunately, the vanilla version developers didn’t think of adding it.

Therefore, the Minecraft mod creating community is of great help to the game, as it develops functions and adds a huge number of features to both the visual and technical parts. The main idea of the Visual Workbench developer is to add a convenient way to craft any items in Minecraft, as well as slightly improve the appearance of all the elements inside the workbench. And it looks really cool: now, any items there are displayed above the workbench. Moreover, it includes both the required element (the one to craft) and the resulting item (for example, armor or pickaxe).

In the Visual Workbench mod, the system divides the workbench into as many as several sections (3*3), just like in the regular crafting inventory, and the object that lies inside will be displayed above each of the slots. As a result, with such manipulations, you can create cool storefronts, for example, to show what goods are sold in your store: all you need is to put all the elements onto a workbench and install a distributor or a versatile vending machine next to it if you use third-party mods. And the buyer will be able to see what lies in front of him before performing any action.

A special feature of the Visual Workbench mod is a pleasant levitating effect for items. It will be floating over the workbench, regardless of the crafting recipe. These include standard vanilla Minecraft items or specific ones from third-party mods. It’s really cool. With this function, you can decorate any interior, make stunning showcases, exhibitions, both in a modern and in an ancient style. In general, the capabilities of Minecraft are impressive, and such add-ons are just another proof of that. The most interesting thing is that the crafting recipe itself is also displayed above the block. Cool, right?

This is not the only mod of this developer that displays Minecraft items above a workbench or show them lying on it. He has already made a very similar function for anvils and stoves, so you can make your own build, adding such effects for most vanilla items in Minecraft. It works with other add-ons, supports such loaders as Forge, Fabric, NeoForge. So, be sure to install it if you want to diversify your usual gameplay. The Visual Workbench mod is included in many top builds, and currently has been downloaded more than 34 million times. 

The developer of this add-on compiled a large configuration file, just like in most of his other projects. You can fine-tune the appearance, prohibit certain items or slots, but you need to test is separately with each mod, because the game can sometimes return errors and bugs.
