Recipe Commands Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I look up a recipe?

Type /recipes or /rec in chat, replacing with the name of what you want to craft. The mod will display the crafting pattern and all required ingredients directly in your chat.

What do the underscores mean in the recipe display?

Underscores (_) represent empty slots in the crafting grid—they show you where NOT to place items so you craft the recipe correctly.

Can I use autocomplete to find item names?

Yes, the mod supports autocomplete—start typing an item name after /recipes and press Tab to see matching options, which helps if you're unsure of the exact name.

What if I don't know the exact name of an item?

Use autocomplete by typing /recipes and a partial name, then press Tab to cycle through matching items until you find the one you want.

Does this mod change how crafting works in survival mode?

No, the mod only lets you view recipes—it doesn't alter crafting mechanics, difficulty, or gameplay in any way.

Can I look up recipes for modded items?

Yes, the mod works with items from other mods as long as they have defined crafting recipes in the game.

What if an item has multiple recipes?

The mod will display one recipe per command; if an item has variants or alternatives, you may need to check the mod's documentation or in-game to see all options.

Does this mod work in multiplayer?

Yes, you can use recipe commands on multiplayer servers that have the mod installed, and it only affects your own chat display.

Can I look up smelting or other non-crafting recipes?

The mod is designed for crafting recipes shown on the crafting grid; smelting and other recipe types may not be supported depending on the mod version.

Why isn't a recipe showing up when I search for an item?

The item may not have a crafting recipe (like ores or drops), may be named differently than you typed, or may require exact spelling—try using autocomplete to verify the correct name.
