by Serilum

With Hidden Recipe Book installed, a player can hide the recipe button in every crafting and furnace screen, and bring it back with a hotkey.

What it does

The mod controls whether the recipe button appears in crafting screens, and it also covers the furnace screen. Its hotkey, Tab by default, shows or hides the button while the crafting grid is open. The same key opens the player list, but the two actions do not interfere with each other. A config option can turn the hotkey off.

Hidden Recipe Book is a client-side mod, so it has to be installed on the client only and does not need to be installed on the server. It requires Collective. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Recipe button toggle

    Hides or shows the recipe button in crafting GUI screens, including the furnace screen.

  2. Hotkey control

    A hotkey, Tab by default, toggles the recipe button while the crafting grid is visible.

  3. Hidden by default

    An option hides the recipe book on the first launch of the client.

  4. Optional toggle messages

    A setting can send a chat message each time the recipe book is shown or hidden, and it is off by default.
