Reliable Recipe Viewer (RRV)
by Cassian
With Reliable Recipe Viewer installed, players can look up how any item is made, and the recipe panels cover both vanilla and supported modded recipe types.
What it does
Reliable Recipe Viewer shows recipes for every vanilla recipe type and for modded types the mod supports. Recipes are synced from the client to the server on Fabric or NeoForge servers that run the mod, or on servers that use a recipe-sync plugin. On vanilla servers the mod reads recipe data from the client's recipe folder instead, and installing it on the server is still recommended where possible.
The mod is a fork of Extended Item View, rebuilt for the latest versions of the game. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. Reliable Recipe Viewer is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.21.8 – 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License. Snapshot builds are published as well. Full functionality depends on the recipe viewer being present on both the client and the server in current builds.
