Recipe Ratings
by Gridith
Recipe Ratings is a NeoForge library that attaches small indicators to recipes shown in EMI, letting players see more about each recipe before crafting it.
What it does
Small indicators appear beside recipes inside EMI, the recipe viewer. They are meant for modpack authors and players who want to judge how balanced and fair a recipe is, then decide for themselves which recipes to follow in their own playthrough.
The mod was made as a companion to Rat's Enrichment and is credited to Gridith. Its indicators can help newer players find routes through a pack, such as sequence breaks, and help experienced players skip steps they have already done many times. It also adds a challenge option in which the Artisans Process ranks recipes as more complicated and expensive than the default.
Recipe Ratings runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is released under the MIT License. It is open source, and its source code is public. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
