EIV Recipe Book Button
With EIV Recipe Book Button installed, the Recipe Book button on the Brewing Stand and Stonecutter screens toggles Extended ItemView's item view.
What it does
Vanilla gives the Brewing Stand and the Stonecutter no button that opens an item view. This mod adds a Recipe Book button to both screens, and pressing it toggles the item view screen from Extended ItemView (EIV), which must be installed alongside it. The button gives the same function on either screen, so players reach EIV's listing without leaving the block interface.
Extended ItemView is a required dependency, and Fabric API is required as well, so both must sit in the mods folder next to this one. The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8 only, and it is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players may use it alone. It has been tested with EIV version 3.0.3.
The latest Fabric file is 1.21.8-1.0.1, published on 2025-10-21 after a first release on 2025-09-11. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The author's public issue tracker is the place to report problems.
Key features
Recipe Book button on Brewing Stand
A button on the Brewing Stand screen opens EIV's item view, so players can check brewing recipes without leaving the block.
Recipe Book button on Stonecutter
The same button appears on the Stonecutter screen and toggles the item view in the same way.
Toggle behavior
Each press switches the item view on or off, so the screen returns to its previous state without a menu.

How it compares
Polydex2EIV is an open source Fabric mod under the MIT License for 1.21.4 – 1.21.10, and it works on either side, so neither a client nor a server is required to run it. Vestigate is server-side only, released under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, and not open source. Brewing Guide Info is client-side only for 1.21.11, licensed as All rights reserved, and works with Fabric or Quilt. This mod, by contrast, targets 1.21.8 alone and only changes two screens.
