### Information <a href="#information" id="information"></a>

The Stations in ColdMC is specialized crafting tables, smelters, forges, or something else entirely, that allows players to create more powerful and complex items beyond the vanilla crafting table.

* **Advanced Items:** Players can craft advanced items like more powerful weapons, armor, and tools that offer an enhanced ability or stats.
* **Special Materials:** The station supports the use of materials that are not available in regular Minecraft, making it essential for creating the most potent gear in the game.
* **Enhanced Crafting:** The crafting grid in the Advanced Crafting Station have no slots which allow for more complex recipes compared to the standard crafting table.

**How to use:**

1. Access the Station through the crafted block (see the [Advanced Crafting Table recipe](https://wiki.coldmc.com/items/stations/crafting-table#advanced-crafting-station))
2. Gather the required materials for the item you want to craft
3. Click to craft the item to start the crafting process, then after the product is finished, you can claim the item by clicking it in the queue.
