Custom Recipe

Custom Recipe

Custom Recipe is a Fabric mod for creating, managing, and controlling crafting recipes directly in Minecraft. Build recipes with vanilla or modded items - locally through ModMenu or on a server through an operator editor.

Supported Minecraft versions

Download the latest release matching your game version:

• 1.20.1
• 1.21.1
• 1.21.8
• 1.21.11
• 26.2

All releases require Fabric Loader and Fabric API. ModMenu is optional and provides the local configuration entry point.

Core features

• Create shaped and shapeless custom recipes.
• Use both Minecraft and installed-mod items in ingredients and outputs.
• Enable, disable, inspect, or remove custom recipes in-game.
• Manage included built-in recipes, such as Elytra, Totem of Undying, Enchanted Golden Apple, Bottle o' Enchanting, and Heavy Core where available.
• Browse default recipes with their real crafting grid, item icons, searchable outputs/ingredients, material variants, and per-variant or full-recipe disabling.
• Mark a recipe Known by default to unlock it silently in every player's recipe book.
• Keep the selected custom output usable in the green recipe book, including during Shift-crafting.
• Preserve Vanilla priority for identical recipes; disable the default recipe when you intentionally want the custom replacement.

Local and server tools

• ModMenu / singleplayer: create and manage local recipes from the in-game interface.
• Dedicated server: operators use /customrecipe to open the server editor, save configuration, and reload recipes automatically.
• Server configuration is validated and protected by operator permission.

For server editing, install Custom Recipe on the server and on the operator's client. Different game versions may expose a slightly different interface because of Minecraft API changes.

1.2.1 highlights

The 1.2.1 release brings the full recipe-management rework:

• A redesigned recipe creator with live item search, scrolling/batched results, reusable used-item tiles, protected slots, and a permanent Empty tile to clear mistakes safely.
• Default Recipes now include installed-mod recipes, status filters, tag-material previews, and interchangeable material variants.
• Exact conflict handling: identical input and output recipes can disable the matching default recipe; recipes with the same input but a different output are guided toward Known by default instead.
• Missing-mod recovery: recipes whose items no longer exist are marked corrupted and disabled until the mod is restored or the recipe is removed.
• Client and server catalogs stay separate, so differing mod lists never leak items or recipes from one side to the other.

Compatibility notes

• The latest feature set is currently available in v1.2.1.
• Earlier supported versions retain their latest compatible feature set and fixes.
• Choose the Modrinth file that matches your exact Minecraft version.
