NoRecipeBook
by 0xNull
NoRecipeBook removes the vanilla recipe book button from inventory and crafting table screens on Minecraft 1.12.2, so the game stops loading and filtering recipes when those screens open.
What it does
Opening an inventory or crafting table in a modpack with many mods can freeze the game for a second or two, because the vanilla recipe book loads, filters and prepares every recipe in the game. NoRecipeBook takes the recipe book out of those screens and clears its internal recipe list, so the work is not done at all.
The mod is a client-side Forge mod for 1.12.2 only, published with version 1.1.0 on 2026-07-08. Only the client needs it, so a server can run without it and players do not need to install anything on the server side. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker linked from its listing.
Key features
Recipe book button removed
The button that opens the vanilla recipe book is taken out of the inventory and crafting table interfaces.
Recipe list cleared
The internal list of recipes is emptied, so thousands of modded recipes are not filtered when a screen opens.
JEI stays usable
Recipe viewers such as JEI and Enough Items keep working for looking up recipes, since only the vanilla book is removed.
Minimal configuration
The mod needs no setup, and its resource use is small enough that it adds almost nothing to the client.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Large modpacks
Packs with hundreds or thousands of recipes from many mods, where opening the inventory causes a noticeable pause.
Who it’s for: Players of heavy 1.12.2 modpacks who use JEI or another recipe viewer and rarely use the vanilla recipe book. Server owners need not install anything.
