Visual Recipe Editor
With Visual Recipe Editor, crafting recipes are built in a GUI and saved as files, instead of written by hand as KubeJS scripts.
What it does
The mod generates recipe files from a visual editor, so authors do not have to write KubeJS scripts by hand. It includes a generator for 3x3 and 2x2 crafting table recipes, support for tags, and a file selector. Several recipes can be stored in one file. Support for mechanical crafter recipes and for recipe removal by ID came in later releases, which also added support for more modded recipes and more removal methods.
The mod is listed with KubeJS as an optional dependency, which is needed to run the generated scripts; it is not required to use the editor itself. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it works on a client alone, a server alone or both. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.3.0 as the latest file, released on 2026-04-11 for 1.20.1. The NeoForge file is on the beta channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Tired of writing KubeJS scripts by hand? Then this mod is for you! Note: this mod is not meant to replace the recipe generator, it's a free time project for me to see how far can I go with generating files with a GUI
