I've taken to using the auto crafting droppers, over the tables for a few reasons. I'm having an issue with the system however. I need to set autoCraftingDropper false, then place a crafting table down in order to be able to use it as a vanilla crafting table. It keeps this "vanilla" state with autocraftingdropper disabled or enabled after its already placed, however I dont want to have to OP everyone on the server and tell them to disable it every time they want to add a crafting table to their build. Is there something I'm doing wrong? should I leave it disabled full time except when I am building auto crafting machines and actually placing the crafting tables? (tried to find an answer on google and reddit but the only results are coming up are related to machines people have built)

I may be being silly, but this repo is specifically for hopper support for crafting tables and I think you are talking about dropper autocrafting which is implemented in carpet-extra (https://github.com/gnembon/carpet-extra). Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick.
