KubeJS Studio
KubeJS Studio is a Forge and NeoForge client-side editor where a player builds KubeJS recipes, tags, loot tables and items through forms and a code editor instead of typing scripts by hand.
What it does
Studio opens as an in-game front end to KubeJS, reached by pressing K. Its workspace lists recipes, tags, loot tables, items, blocks and stats, and it knows which registry entries and code the loaded pack provides. Studio writes plain files under kubejs, covering scripts, datapack JSON, lang files and models, and a project format export keeps the generated files working without Studio installed.
Form editing suits recipes where the visual layout is faster than scripting, and the built-in code editor suits the rest. Completion, hover documentation and error checking come from a typings file built from the running instance. Each recipe type has its own form, with vanilla crafting, cooking, stonecutting and smithing alongside Create processing recipes, while other types fall back to a flat form generated from the recipe schema. The mod requires Kotlin for Forge and KubeJS, and EMI and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional. The license is custom and the mod is not open source; the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Visual recipe forms
Recipe, tag, loot table and item changes are picked in forms with real item slots, and a preview shows what will be written before anything changes.
Code editor with checks
The KubeJS Files tab provides a code editor with completion, hover documentation and error checking tied to the running instance.
Recipe browser
Loaded recipes can be filtered by mod and recipe type, and an existing recipe opens in its form with the output shown underneath.
Recipe overrides
A recipe can be disabled or replaced with a duplicate that starts blank, and an existing JSON recipe can be round-tripped into a form or opened as raw JSON.
