Feel free to write this down if you want and turn it into a guide

--Retep988, in response to Tomodachi94's incessant questions about how Template:Cg works.

Crafting grids (Cgs) are used to emulate machines in crafting recipes. There are many nuances for creation of Cgs, but they are straightforward once you know them.

Getting the image of the GUI
The first thing that must be done is obtaining the texture of the GUI from the mod's assets. If the mod is open-source (on a site like GitHub or Bitbucket), you first must navigate to that repository.

If the mod is closed-source, the process takes slightly longer. First, copy the mod  file into another location. Rename the file, replacing  with. Extract the  file.

You then need to navigate to a folder called, where   is the identifier of the mod. This folder will be in a  folder if you are retrieving the asset from source. This folder should contain one (or more) PNG files which are the GUI of the machine.
