Craft Search
by Toxa14964
Craft Search lets players look up the crafting recipes of custom items from the inventory, using a hotkey and a search field, on Fabric.
What it does
Players can quickly view an item's crafting recipe directly in the inventory by pressing a hotkey and searching by item name. Lookups by recipe name are also possible through commands, a route that helps most on servers running many custom recipes. Craft Search works entirely on the client, so only the player's own game needs it, and no server installation is required.
The server side is handled by two commands. Craft scanall scans the crafting recipes available on the server, and after the recipes change, craft reload must be run so the scanned recipes are applied. Originally built for the Bloomy server, the mod also works on other servers and in modpacks. Craft Search is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, the latest being 1.2.1 for 1.21.11, and is released under the MIT License as open source.
