Well, it doesn't REALLY make you go faster then any other player to craft an item. It really just takes less brain-work.
That's why I'm 99% confident it's legit, I just wanted to make sure with an official confirmation so I can start using it consistently
I don't think it says anywhere you can't do it, unless maybe because it automates things (they have exceptions for other stuff).
If it were up to me that would be allowed. It's not any faster than doing it by hand (and it's even slower with some more complicated recipes)
How is crafting to save time with macromid any different than avoiding typing a message every three minutes instead of an afkable trade macro? Or ones that auto feed people instead of buying feed+? Or ones that auto repair/tell you when you're low? Or automatically switch picks while mining? How is a simple thing that changes stone to stonebrick Not allowed but all of the above are? Where is the line drawn?
I totally agree. If it was for me, also the craft command would be allowed (which would be faster and mean less lag for the server as well, I think), but I can understand how this is disabled due to chest stealers and such.
