Client Recipe Fix (JEI / REI)
by Voximir
Client Recipe Fix restores access to vanilla crafting recipes in JEI and REI on Fabric clients, even on servers that sync recipes.
What it does
Starting with Minecraft 1.21.2, the server keeps recipes and sends only those a player has earned to the client. JEI and REI therefore list only that subset. Client Recipe Fix changes the client side so the complete vanilla recipe set is displayed again in both viewers, including on servers where recipes are synced. The fix is entirely client side and needs no changes on the server.
The mod works through a non-invasive override of client data and loads instantly with the game. It only restores vanilla recipe knowledge and does not add new recipes, so players still have to finish recipe-book steps themselves. Because the override is controlled and cannot be reached from the server, multiplayer interaction stays safe. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
Installation requires Fabric. The mod is open source under the MIT License and published for game versions 1.21.2 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric file, 2.0.0-beta.3, targeting 26.1.2 and released on 2026-04-10 on the beta channel.
Key features
Vanilla recipes in JEI
JEI displays the full vanilla crafting recipe set again, not only the entries a player has acquired.
Vanilla recipes in REI
REI shows the complete vanilla recipe set, so lookups no longer stop at the entries a player has acquired.
Recipe book unchanged
Recipe-book progression still works as before; the mod changes only what the viewers display.
Non-invasive client override
The override changes client data only and cannot be reached from the server, which keeps multiplayer interaction safe.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use JEI or REI on Fabric and join servers that send only the acquired recipes to the client. Server owners need nothing extra, since the environment is client-side only.
How it compares
REI+ is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.10 – 26.1.2, so it overlaps in version range with this mod. Access REI Recipes From A Block is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.16.3 – 1.17.1, far older than this mod's range. CustomJEI is client-side only for 1.21.11 alone and is not open source, under All rights reserved.

What the author says
Since Minecraft 1.21.2, recipes are stored on the server, and only unlocked recipes are sent to the client. As a result, JEI / REI can only show the recipes you have unlocked 😔
