Recipe Generator
by 300f20t
With Recipe Generator, a player builds a recipe in a visual grid and exports it as a script for CraftTweaker or KubeJS.
What it does
The mod adds a recipe editor that opens from a crafting table once the generator screen is switched on with a command. The player places ingredients in the grid and an output item in the result slot, then clicks Generate to preview the resulting script in chat. Clicking Save writes the script into the game's scripts folder, and a reload or restart loads the recipe into the game.
The generator produces scripts for CraftTweaker and KubeJS, two existing scripting mods that the Recipe Generator does not depend on. KubeJS and CraftTweaker are optional, so the editor works without them, but a script only takes effect when the matching scripting mod is installed. The mod is not affiliated with either project.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.14.4 – 1.21.4, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Visual recipe grid
A crafting grid and output slot let the player lay out a recipe as it will look in the game.
Script preview in chat
Generate prints the finished script to chat, so the result can be checked before it is saved.
Save to scripts folder
Save writes the script into the scripts folder, where the scripting mod picks it up.
Reload without restart
A /reload command applies a saved recipe, so changes can be tested without relaunching the game.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and modpack makers who use CraftTweaker or KubeJS and want to create recipes without writing the script by hand.
How it compares
Visual Recipe Editor is a Forge and NeoForge tool for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, where the client or server is optional and it is not open source. KubeJS Generator is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, requires the client but not the server, and is not open source. KubeJS itself is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and runs on either side.
