Recipe Item Sync
by LevelsFR
Recipe Item Sync makes custom datapack items appear in recipe viewers such as JEI, REI and EMI, so players can look up how each one is made.
What it does
Many datapacks create custom items from vanilla item stacks, components, loot tables and commands. Such items usually stay invisible to JEI, REI and EMI, because those viewers only list items the game registers by default. The mod bridges that gap: it discovers supported datapack recipes automatically and synchronizes them to the viewers, and it refreshes the synced content after each datapack reload.
Synced items carry their display text, model data, custom data and stack sizes over to the viewers. Deterministic loot-table based virtual items are supported too, along with compatible custom item-entity crafting systems. Recipe Item Sync is published for NeoForge across four release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, and is licensed as All rights reserved.
Recipe Item Sync is a NeoForge mod that can run on a server, a client, or both, and neither side is required to have it. Only the server needs the datapack itself; the client does not need it installed. Players who use a recipe viewer need the mod and a supported viewer, while resource packs are still required on the client for custom textures, models and translations. Files exist for 1.21.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 3.1.0 for 26.3.
Key features
Viewer visibility
Custom datapack items become visible in JEI, REI and EMI, with their recipes shown next to them.
Automatic discovery
Supported datapack recipes are found and synchronized on the server without a hardcoded item list.
Preserved item data
Display text, model data, custom data and stack sizes carry over to the recipe viewers.
Reload refresh
Synced content is rebuilt after datapack reloads, so changes to datapack recipes appear without a restart.
