🔧 Smart Benches

**Want bench output to go straight into a chest? Here i am**

✨ Features

Automatic Output Transfer: Finished products are instantly moved to nearby chests.

Zero Configuration: Just place a chest next to your processing bench and it works!

Works with All Processing Benches: Furnaces, forges, kilns, smelters, and any station with an output slot.

⚠️ Important: How It Works

This mod works with Processing Benches — stations that have a dedicated output container where finished items appear (furnaces, forges, kilns, etc.).

Bench Type Has Output? Works?

🔥 Furnace / Forge / Kiln ✅ Yes ✅ Auto-transfers to chest

⚒️ Crafting Table ❌ No (goes to player) ❌ Not applicable

🧪 Processing stations ✅ Yes ✅ Auto-transfers to chest

🚀 Update v1.2: Smart Automation & Control!

🔄 Two-Way Automation: Now supports Input & Fuel automation!

Items in the chest can automatically feed the furnace's Input and Fuel slots.

(Enabled by default, toggleable via command).

🧠 Smart Logic: If a chest is full, it automatically searches for other nearby chests.

⚙️ Configurable: Customize search radius (default: 2 blocks) and update speed via config.

🎮 In-Game Commands:

/smartbenches input <on|off> - Toggle auto-feeding from chests.

/smartbenches <on|off> - Toggle auto-output to chests.

🎮 How to Use

Place any processing bench (furnace, forge, kiln, etc.).

Place a chest directly adjacent (above, below, or on any side).

Add fuel and materials to the bench.

Watch as finished products automatically transfer to the chest!
