No Recipe Book Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get rid of the recipe book icon in my inventory?
Just install the mod and launch the game — the recipe book button is hidden automatically with no configuration needed. There is no toggle or keybind; the icon simply won't appear in your inventory or crafting GUI.
Does this mod work on a server?
Yes, but only on your own client. It's a client-side mod, so you don't need it on the server, and if the server has it installed it does nothing for anyone. Install it on your own game and it works on any server you join.
Do I need to install this mod on the server too?
No. The mod only changes what your client displays, so installing it on the server has no effect. Keep it in your client mods folder and you're set for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Will this mod break my other mods?
It only hides the recipe book button, so it generally doesn't conflict with other mods. If another mod adds its own recipe book button or GUI element, that mod's button may still appear since this mod only targets the vanilla one.
Can I still use the recipe book if I need it?
No — this mod removes the button entirely, so there's no way to open the vanilla recipe book while it's installed. If you occasionally need it, you'd have to remove the mod, use the recipe book, then reinstall it.
Does the recipe book stay hidden in multiplayer servers?
Yes. Because the change is client-side, the button stays hidden whether you're in singleplayer or on any multiplayer server. The server never sees or cares about the change.
Why is the recipe book button still showing after I installed the mod?
Make sure the mod is actually loaded for the correct game version and mod loader, and that you launched the right profile. If another mod re-adds a recipe book button, that button will still appear even with this mod installed.
Does this mod affect performance?
It's a tiny cosmetic change that only hides a GUI button, so it has no noticeable impact on performance. It doesn't touch recipes, crafting logic, or world data.
Will this mod work with other mod loaders or versions?
It depends on which build you downloaded — the mod is available for the common mod loaders and several game versions. Use the build that matches your loader and game version, or it won't load at all.
Can I hide the recipe book only in the inventory but keep it in the crafting table?
No, the mod hides the button in both the player inventory and the crafting GUI at the same time. There's no per-screen option; it's all or nothing.
