About this project
What does Recipe Essentials add?
Recipe Essentials improves recipe processing, item comparisons, and the vanilla recipe book. It reduces repeated work in furnaces, autocrafters, item transport systems, and other automation. particularly useful in larger modpacks.
- Faster recipe lookups: Caches recipe matches to speed repeated searches to avoid full recipe lookups for frequently used recipes.
- Optimized item comparisons: Reduces the work involved in comparing item stacks during inventory transfers and machine operations. Especially for pipes moving items into inventories.
- Better recipe book sorting: Places craftable recipes first and prioritizes recipes you use most often.
- Recipe book controls: Show available recipes from the start, including recipes added by other mods, or disable the recipe book and hide its button. Disabling it also reduces its associated tracking and network traffic.
Requires Cupboard dependency to be installed

- All features are separately configurable
Can be installed client-only, server-only or on both, depending on the configuration

Fast Recipe lookup feature is incompatible with FastSuite, as FastSuite also implements it, to use both disable Recipe Essentials cacheRecipes in the config.
Recipe book changes are incompatible with and Not Enough Recipe Book(similar feature set)
