What it does

Recipe Printer converts item recipes and item groups from the creative tabs into clean, readable images that can be saved as PNG files. It is a client-side only utility, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. LibX is required, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional companion. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.16.3 – 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Recipe images

    Turns crafting and processing recipes into images that stay readable in screenshots and videos.

  2. Creative tab export

    Prints the items of a creative tab as a PNG, so a full tab can be shared as one picture.

  3. Client-side operation

    Runs on the player's own game, so it can be used in single-player and on multiplayer servers without the server installing it.
