EMI Recipe Pin - 1.20 Forge Backport
by HiroLeWeeb
This Forge client addon lets players pin recipes to the top of EMI's Favorites panel so they stay visible.
What it does
Pinned recipes are kept above ordinary favorites in the Favorites panel, and they can be reordered by dragging them within that panel. A recipe is pinned by moving it from the recipe screen into the Favorites panel or by using the favorite button. Recipes from EMI's supported mods can be pinned as well.
The first configured recipe favorites are drawn as full-width recipe cards, in a style similar to REI's pinned recipe cards, while extra pinned recipes stay above regular favorites as compact icons. The display maximum defaults to 3 pinned recipes, which keeps other favorites from being pushed off-screen when too many are pinned. The client needs the mod and EMI; servers are not involved.
The mod is an AI-assisted backport to Forge 1.20.1 and later, based on cat4blep's work. It is published for Forge only, across the 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 range, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6. The latest file, 1.0.0-1.20, targets 1.20.6 and was released on 2026-08-16. The code is open source under the MIT License.
