Compat Recipe Master
by APUcard
Compat Recipe Master adds alternative recipes for vanilla and modded items, and its own middle-process items, to NeoForge 1.21.1 games that run Create.
What it does
Recipes in the mod cover two groups. Some give vanilla items such as compasses, clocks, saddles and horse armor a second way to be made. Others add custom recipes for items from many compatible mods, for example biomass-style food recipes in the Mekanism family. The mod also introduces custom middle-process items, which are intermediate stages between raw materials and finished goods, and custom alternative items that sit in those chains.
Create is required and must be installed beside the mod. The optional integrations listed in the catalog are Create: The Factory Must Grow, Immersive Engineering, Just Enough Items (JEI), Mekanism, Mekanism Additions, Mekanism Generators, Mekanism:More Machine and Oritech. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds exist only for NeoForge 1.21.1 and the latest file is 1.2.0, published 2026-06-28. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with public links to source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Alternative vanilla recipes
Vanilla items such as compasses, clocks, saddles and horse armor gain extra recipes that offer another crafting route.
Modded food recipes
Recipes for foods from compatible mods follow the style of Mekanism biomass recipes, giving modded food a processing path.
Middle-process items
Custom intermediate items sit between raw materials and finished goods, so recipe chains gain an extra step.
Satisfactory-style models
Custom alternative items use models in the look of the Satisfactory game, matching the mod's icon.
