About this project

What does Not Enough Recipe Book [NERB] add?

This mod was created with one simple goal: to completely remove the recipe book from the game. Unlike other similar mods, it doesn't just hide the recipe book button — NERB entirely removes its functionality.

If you have a fully unlocked recipe book in a large modpack and run the /data get entity @s command, you'll notice the overwhelming amount of data it returns — most of which are recipe names. After installing this mod, these recipe names will be removed, significantly improving performance for mods like CraftTweaker or KubeJS (e.g., when using event.player.data in scripts). It also speeds up data synchronization between the server and client, and reduces the time it takes for players to join the world.

NERB offers multiple configurable functional modes:

  • DISABLED: Completely removes the recipe book button from your inventory, along with its default functionality.
  • ENABLED: Keeps the recipe book button in your inventory, but disables its default functionality, preventing recipe management through the book.
  • DISCOVERED: Automatically unlocks all available recipes in your recipe book. No additional optimizations are applied in this mode.
  • TOGGLE: The recipe book button remains in your inventory. Instead of toggling the recipe book, it now toggles the visibility of the JEI/REI/EMI interface. The default recipe book functionality is still disabled. This is a selected mode by default.

Q: Does this mod compatible with X?
A: In most cases, yes. Even if some mod overlaps some NERB functionality - the rest of its optimizations will remain unchanged and will work.

Q: Can I use your mod in a modpack?
A: Yes, feel free to include it.

Q: Can I repost your mod to another site?
A: No, you cannot.
