Detailed description of a problem

I am in the process of creating a semi-autonomous bot and am working on the "craft" part. When I ask it to craft an item that does not require crafting tables, there are no problems. But when it needs to access a table, it searches for the table, goes to the table, looks at the table, interacts with the table (its arm moves as if interacting with it), and a few seconds later I get an error message (and it does not craft the item).

Error: Error: Event windowOpen did not fire within timeout of 20000ms at EventEmitter.craft 
(Minecraft-Bot\node_modules\mineflayer\lib\plugins\craft.js:32:13)

What did you try yet?

I tried to increase the timeout,
changing the minecraft server version (1.20 > 1.16)

Your current code

async function craftItem(bot, name, amount) {
    amount = parseInt(amount, 10)
    const item = bot.registry.itemsByName[name]
    const craftingTableID = bot.registry.blocksByName.crafting_table.id

    console.log(craftingTableID);

    const craftingTable = bot.findBlock({
        matching: craftingTableID,
        maxDistance: 6

    })

    if (!craftingTable) {
        bot.chat('no crafting table found')
        return
    }

    if (item) {
        const recipe = bot.recipesFor(item.id, null, 1, craftingTable)[0];
        if (recipe) {
            let requiresTable = recipe.requiresTable === false ? null : craftingTable;

            if (requiresTable) {
                try {
                    const goal = new GoalNear(craftingTable.position.x, craftingTable.position.y, craftingTable.position.z, 1);
                    await bot.pathfinder.goto(goal);
                } catch (error) {
                    bot.chat('I can\'t go to craft table');
                }
            }

            bot.chat(`I can make ${name}`)
            try {

                const result = await bot.craft(recipe, amount, requiresTable, { timeout: 30000 });
                bot.chat(`did the recipe for ${name} ${amount} times`);
                console.log('Crafting result:', result);
            } catch (err) {
                console.error('Error during crafting:', err);
                bot.chat(`error making ${name}`)
            }
        } else {
            bot.chat(`I cannot make ${name}`)
        }
    } else {
        bot.chat(`unknown item: ${name}`)
    }
}

Expected behavior

At least a window appears. and fix the error :(

You probably don't need this answer, it's been a while - but in my experience, the timeout error occurs when your bot is too far away from the crafting table and tries to interact with it. The bot needs to be within a 5 blocks distance away (max) to interact with anything.

When you call craft, the bot doesn't walk to the table by itself, so you need to handle that, then call craft.

I use my own goto function to wait for the bot to be near the table, then call craft.
