Chald Recipe Blocker
by ChaldS
Chald Recipe Blocker removes crafting recipes for any item listed in a config file or in its in-game editor, and it is server-side only.
What it does
A server admin lists item IDs in a TOML config file, or adds them through the crb gui chest-style menu that operators open in game. The mod then scans the recipes loaded by the server, checks each output against the list, and deletes matching entries from the recipe manager before any client sees them. Recipe types covered include the crafting table, furnace, smithing, blast furnace and custom recipe types added by other mods. Players can filter the results by item or recipe type inside the editor.
Changes made in the GUI are saved and applied through a reload, so no restart is needed for that path. Editing the file requires a server restart or a reload. Only the item's recipes are removed: the item itself is not touched, so it can still be obtained through loot, trading and other mods. Editing the list live requires operator level 2. The mod is a lightweight alternative to full scripting frameworks such as CraftTweaker and KubeJS, which the author describes as heavier dependencies for a task that needs no scripting. Vanilla and third-party clients can connect without installing anything.
Key features

Item IDs listed in a TOML config file have their crafting recipes removed when the server starts.

Recipe type coverage
Removal covers the crafting table, furnace, smithing, blast furnace and custom recipe types added by other mods.
Item left intact
Only the recipes are removed. The item still exists and can still be obtained through loot, trading and other mods.

How it compares
NeoForge Command Blocker is for NeoForge 1.21.1, is server-side only and is under All rights reserved, and it blocks commands rather than recipes. DisableCommand runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, works on the server side only, and is under All rights reserved, but it also targets commands. Visual Recipe Editor works on NeoForge and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and either side can run it while neither needs it, and it is not open source.

What the author says
A lightweight, server-side only NeoForge mod that lets server admins disable crafting recipes for specific items — either by listing item IDs in a config file, or live in-game through a built-in GUI editor. No scripting language, no extra dependencies. Big modpacks often ship overpowered, exploitable, or otherwise…
