No Inv Recipe Book(NIRB)
by LumyNova
No Inv Recipe Book, or NIRB, removes the recipe book from the survival inventory screen while leaving it in workstation screens such as the crafting table.
What it does
Inside the player inventory, the recipe book button and panel are hidden, so the screen keeps its vanilla layout without the extra side panel. Crafting tables, furnaces and the other workstations still open the recipe book exactly as they do in the base game, and the mod does not change how crafting works.
The mod is a Fabric client mod released under a custom license. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing anything. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 – 26.2, with 16 release versions covered and 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, published on 2026-06-25.
The mod is a simple fix: it removes the recipe book from the personal inventory and keeps the rest of the interface unchanged. Because the source code is public, players can read how the change is made before installing it.
