Loading Cross-Platform Recipe Plugins in JEI and REI

Enabling Unified Recipe Lookups

When playing with mods ported from Fabric alongside native Forge mods, recipe viewers can sometimes fail to show custom crafting mechanics. Connector Extras solves this by running custom plugin detectors for both Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) on Forge.

These detectors operate alongside the standard detection system to scan and register recipe plugins from mods on both platforms at the same time. Whether a mod was originally packaged with Fabric or Forge recipe support, its integration loads automatically when Minecraft starts.

Browsing Mod Recipes In-Game

To browse your cross-platform recipes:

1. Open your inventory screen in-game to bring up the JEI or REI item list on the right side of the screen.

2. Search for any item added by either a Forge mod or a ported Fabric mod.

3. Press the recipe lookup key (default R) over the item, or left-click it in the list.

4. Browse the tabs at the top of the overlay to view custom machine processes, brewing recipes, and crafting tables provided by both ecosystems.
