What it does

Custom Recipe offers a graphical editor that works in singleplayer worlds and on servers. Shaped and shapeless recipes can use vanilla or modded items, and each world keeps its own recipe set, so a change in one world leaves another world's copy untouched. A Global Library stores reusable templates shared across worlds, and existing recipes can be changed and their conflicts resolved from the same screens.

The Default Recipes browser lets players inspect and switch off the crafting recipes that come with the game and with installed mods. Its search covers ingredient tags as well as items, so every accepted ingredient of a recipe can be checked, not only the first match. Whole recipes or single material variants can be disabled. The mod is integrated with the recipe book and supports normal and shift-crafting. It depends on Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is released under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Visual recipe editor

    Shaped and shapeless crafting recipes are built on screen, with no datapack files or JSON to write.

  2. Per-world recipe sets

    Each world holds its own recipe configuration, and a world selector shows which one is active.

  3. Global Library

    Reusable recipe templates are stored independently of any world and can be applied wherever they are needed.

  4. Recipe browser with tag search

    The browser finds recipes through advanced search and lists every accepted ingredient tag, not only the first match.

  5. Disable recipes and variants

    Whole recipes or individual material variants can be switched off without deleting them.

Questions

Does Custom Recipe need Fabric API on Forge?

Fabric API is listed as a required dependency for the mod, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are required as well. Check the file for the loader in use before installing.

Do server players need to install Custom Recipe?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can Custom Recipe work with JEI or REI?

Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional dependencies, so they are not required to run the mod.
