Fast Recipe Search

by nutant233

Fast Recipe Search speeds up the lookup of crafting recipes by ingredient, so recipe matching finishes quicker on large recipe sets.

What it does

Recipe lookup normally checks recipes one at a time. This mod indexes recipe ingredients in a tree of hash codes, which lets a search find matching recipes much faster. The author reports a speedup of more than 10 times against the original method, and the gap grows as the total number of recipes increases. It runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Tree-based recipe index

    Ingredients are stored as hash codes in a tree, so matching recipes can be found without checking each one.

  2. Faster search results

    Searches return sooner, with the speedup described as larger on setups that hold more recipes.

  3. Recipe tree library API

    A core library exposes the recipe tree, and it does not depend on Minecraft code, so other projects can use it.
