Just Enough Crafting Tree
by qwenteenn
Just Enough Crafting Tree lets a player open the full recursive crafting tree for any item, with each sub-recipe laid out in order.
What it does
The mod shows the complete crafting chain behind an item, including every intermediate ingredient, so a player can read the whole path before starting. Branches expand step by step, and the total required resources for a selected craft are listed in one place. Support covers machine recipes and modded crafting chains, and the tree can be opened directly from supported recipe screens, jumping to the recipe on display.
Just Enough Crafting Tree is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and a server can run without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 1.21.1, with 2.0.0 as the latest build on each loader. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Its requirement line names the recipe lookup behaviour, and no other mod is needed to run it.
Key features
Recursive crafting tree
Opens the full crafting tree of an item, expanding each branch until the base materials are reached.
Exact quantities
Lists the total amount of each required resource for the selected craft, so the counts can be checked before gathering.
Sub-step tracking
Sub-steps can be marked as done, and only the step still in progress is shown when a player wants to follow one step at a time.
Inventory tracking
A tracked craft appears in a compact window in the inventory, which stays in view without reopening the full tree.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long crafting chains
Players working through large factories or heavy tech mods can follow long chains without reading the whole tree at once.
Progression planning
Each next step is known in advance, which removes guessing about what to craft next during complex progression.
Who it’s for: Players who build through long crafting chains in large factory or tech modpacks, where a full recipe tree is hard to read by hand.
