uhhwhydoyoudothatvisualworkbench fixes how TooManyRecipeViewers and the Visual Workbench interact with EMI, so crafting recipes that need more than the two-slot inventory grid work.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Recipes that need more than the two-slot crafting grid in the inventory, such as a recipe needing four items, were not visible through EMI when the Visual Workbench was in use. The mod repairs that interaction. It also disables the Visual Workbench JEI plugin so that EMI handles those recipes instead. Installation needs TooManyRecipeViewers and Visual Workbench, and the mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It is open source under the MIT License and published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with version 1.0.1 as the latest file, dated 2026-03-22.

Key features

  1. Visual Workbench recipes in EMI

    Crafting recipes that use the Visual Workbench become visible and usable through the EMI recipe viewer.

  2. Disabled JEI plugin

    The Visual Workbench JEI plugin is switched off, leaving EMI in charge of showing those recipes.

  3. Fixed TooManyRecipeViewers interaction

    Recipes that need more than the inventory crafting grid are shown correctly alongside the Visual Workbench.

Questions

Does uhhwhydoyoudothatvisualworkbench need TooManyRecipeViewers?

Yes. TooManyRecipeViewers is a required dependency, and Visual Workbench must also be installed alongside it.

Does the mod need to be installed on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

What the author says

This is a client only Neoforge mod that fixes an interaction between EMI, TMRV and Visual Workbench. E.g if you need 4 items to craft something but 2 of them are already in the crafting table, adding the recipe to the table via EMI doesn't work because it only sees the 2 items in your inventory. This mod simply fixes…
