RecipeDumper
RecipeDumper exports the crafting recipes loaded in a Forge game to JSON files, which the tool then writes out for inspection.
What it does
Players and modders who want a record of recipes can run the dump, and the mod writes each recipe as a JSON file into a dumps folder inside the game directory. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
JSON recipe export
Recipes loaded by the game are written out as JSON files, one file per recipe.
Dumps folder
Output is placed in a dumps folder inside the game directory, which keeps results in one predictable place.
Command-free workflow
Recipes are dumped in one pass, so the output can be examined without manual copying.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
