Create Recipe Priority
by JOKRisBest
Create Recipe Priority is a NeoForge addon for Create that changes the order in which Basin recipes are matched, so automated processing follows a fixed four-tier hierarchy.
What it does
By default Create sorts matching Basin recipes only by the total number of ingredients, largest first. In large modpacks with many overlapping recipes, a 3x3 packing recipe or a 2x2 compacting recipe can take precedence over a mixing recipe such as a three-ingredient Blaze Cake base, so excess ingredients are pressed into blocks like Sugar Cubes when a different product was intended. The addon intercepts that matching logic and applies its own ordering, without scripts, config files or datapacks to write.
The four tiers run from highest to lowest priority: explicit Create recipes for the Basin come first whenever their ingredients are present, shapeless crafting recipes that use distinct items come second, 3x3 packing recipes that need nine identical items come third, and 2x2 compacting recipes that need four identical items come last. The mod is a server-side only addon, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Basin recipes ranked by tier
Matching Basin recipes are checked in a fixed order, so explicit Create recipes run before any packing or compacting recipe.
Shapeless crafting kept clean
Shapeless recipes that use distinct items run ahead of the block packing tiers, which prevents loops from clogging factory inputs.
Fewer unwanted compactions
Identical-item packing recipes such as 3x3 and 2x2 yield to mixing recipes, so ingredients are not compressed early.
No setup required
The hierarchy works from the start, with no filter configuration needed for each factory line.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Modpack creators and server owners who run Create on NeoForge 1.21.1 and want Basin automation to follow a predictable order across many overlapping recipes.

What the author says
In large modpacks, automated compacting and shapeless crafting inside Create's Basin (Presing and Mixing) can quickly become a frustrating mess of recipe overlaps. By default, Create sorts matching Basin recipes solely by the total number of ingredients in descending order. When automating crafting processes or…
