Just Enough Serverless Recipes (JESR)

by DraconicVelum

With Just Enough Serverless Recipes installed on a client, JEI can still show vanilla recipes when the server does not run JEI.

What it does

JEI usually needs to be installed on the server as well as on the client. This mod gives JEI its vanilla recipes on servers that have no JEI installed. In a singleplayer world the mod reads recipes directly from the integrated server. On a multiplayer server, it uses a bundled dataset of vanilla fallback recipes, so the lookup still works.

Recipe transfer, the button that moves ingredients into a crafting grid, keeps working through vanilla container clicks. When a server already supplies a recipe map, the mod steps aside and that data remains the one in use. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and Just Enough Items (JEI) on the client, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds for 1.21 – 26.3 across 14 release versions. The latest files, 0.1.0.0 for 26.3, date from 2026-10-03. Install the build that matches the loader.

  2. Fallback recipe dataset

    Multiplayer clients use a bundled set of vanilla recipes when no server data is available.

  3. Recipe transfer button

    JEI's recipe transfer button works through vanilla container clicks on lightly modded servers.

  4. Server recipe map priority

    When the server already supplies a recipe map, the mod does not replace it.
