Theories and discussion should take place on the talk page.

Crafting is an integral part of MouseHunt, especially as players advance along the ranks. Once players advance from Novice to Apprentice, the crafting tab will be accessible to them. Crafting allows players to put together different items that they have collected throughout the game. The result of crafting can be traps, cheeses, and other crafting items.

Crafting Items

Crafting items are the components or ingredients required in order to successfully create a crafted item. The complete list of all items that can be used in crafting can be found under Crafting Items. Information is given on the source as to where players can acquire individual items, as well as the crafted product(s) it is used in.

Crafting Slots

Crafting slots are what allow you to create certain cheeses and other items. Each ingredient in a recipe requires the use of a slot. As you progress in rank, you will gain more slots for crafting, which allows you to craft items requiring more ingredients.

Before MouseHunt updated to Version 3.0 on 8 June 2010, the last slot of each rank was a Red Slot. If you use the correct recipe, and use the Red Slot, you had chance of losing all of your ingredients that you tried to use and not being successful in creating the new item. Otherwise, crafting works exactly the same now as it did before.

Crafted Items

The table below shows what is available for crafting at each rank. Total Slots is the number of slots for ingredients available at each rank. Trap Recipes lists all the weapons and bases that can be crafted at each rank. Cheese Recipes lists all the types of cheese that can be crafted at each rank. Other Recipes lists all the other recipes that can be crafted at each rank. Note that while some formulas only require 2 or 3 slots to craft, the ingredients are not available for lower ranks. Every rank will always be able to safely craft the items of the lower ranks. Therefore a Master will be able to craft items available to Journeymen, Initiates and Apprentices.

Items with the words (reconstruction) or (reconstitution) imply that players are able to craft the item only if they had previously owned and smashed the item in question.

Recipe Book

The recipe book allows a hunter to view all of their previously crafted items. Clicking on a recipe will show the hunter the ingredients needed, and how many of each item they have. Hunters can use this to craft an item again, or multiple times at once.

Unknown Recipes

When a new recipe is introduced and the ingredients are unknown, it is possible to determine the correct ingredients through trial and error. When you use the correct type of materials but in wrong quantities, you get a message saying, "Almost there The right parts are used but the quantities aren't correct," instead of the usual "Huh? Nothing seems to quite fit together."
