More Outputs API
More Outputs API is a Fabric library that lets developers give a crafting recipe up to four possible outputs, a setup that vanilla recipes do not support.
What it does
Before this library, a recipe with more than one output usually meant writing a custom recipe class, which many developers found hard or out of reach. More Outputs API supplies that capability through a developer API, so a mod can register recipes with several results without implementing its own classes.
The library is meant for developers rather than players, and an installed copy does nothing on its own. Only the mods that depend on it use it, so a player installs it only when a mod asks for it. It is published for Fabric alone, across 16 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
The project includes a short example, an in-depth tutorial and a complete guide on the wiki. Those cover the methods to call outside of registering screen handlers, block entities and similar classes. Server support is listed as planned for a later release.
Key features
Multiple recipe outputs
Recipes can declare up to four possible outputs instead of a single result item.
No custom recipe classes
Developers register multi-output recipes through the API rather than writing a separate class for each one.
Short usage example
A brief example shows the basic calls a developer makes to set up a multi-output recipe.
Wiki tutorial
An in-depth guide on the wiki walks through the full process, including the methods used outside screen handlers and block entities.

Use cases
Mod developers adding recipes
A mod author who wants a recipe to yield several items can use the API instead of building custom recipe logic.
Who it’s for: The library suits modders who already write Fabric code, including developers new to the platform who want a ready-made way to build multi-output recipes. Players do not need it unless a mod they install depends on it.
How it compares
More Outputs API is a Fabric-only library that is installed on the client and the server. TLA Api is a Fabric and Quilt library for 1.20.4 – 1.21.1 and is client-side only, so servers do not need it. PotionRecipeLib is server-side only, works on Fabric and Quilt for 1.17 – 1.19, and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.
