About this project
What does Mod Recipe Book add?
A progression-based recipe book with items from mods. Discover items, unlock recipes, and learn mods as you play.
Designed for modpacks: create custom categories from any combination of mods, optionally include Minecraft, hide the vanilla recipe book, and choose whether recipes unlock after discovering one ingredient or all ingredients.
Recipe layouts come from JEI.
Features

- Recipes unlock when you find items. By default a recipe unlocks only after you have found every ingredient. Finding an item also unlocks recipes that craft that item.
- Recipes unlock when you know the crafting method. By default a recipe unlocks only after you found a crafting method (crafting table, furnace, etc).
- You can customize how new recipes unlock
- All Recipes tab plus custom categories — choose which mods appear in each category
