Speeding Up World Joining and Server Syncing in Large Modpacks
In vanilla Minecraft, every recipe you unlock is saved by name inside your player data file. When playing large modpacks, this stored list grows massive, slowing down how fast you join a world, delaying server data syncing, and hurting performance for other mods that read player data. Not Enough Recipe Book fixes this by removing the recipe system rather than merely hiding the button.
Configuring for Maximum Performance
1. Open your in-game mod settings menu, or navigate to your Minecraft config folder and open the mod's configuration file.
2. Locate the option that controls the active recipe book mode.
3. Set the mode to DISABLED to completely remove both the recipe book button and all of its underlying functions from your inventory.
4. Alternatively, set the mode to ENABLED if you want to keep the button visible on screen while turning off its ability to manage recipes.
5. Save your changes before loading into a world.
Verifying Your Setup in Game
Join your singleplayer world or multiplayer server and press E to open your inventory. Under DISABLED, your crafting area will show the grid without the green recipe book icon beside it. Because unneeded recipe names are no longer stored on your player file, loading into worlds and syncing with servers will stay fast as you progress.
