Recipe Cooldown Mod FAQ

No, Recipe Cooldown Mod works automatically once installed—there's no configuration needed. The cooldown mechanism activates immediately and begins limiting recipe book packet requests.

The mod intentionally adds a brief delay between recipe book clicks to prevent packet spam; this is the cooldown in action. This is normal behavior and protects your server from lag—the delay is typically imperceptible during regular gameplay.

Yes, crafting works exactly as before. The mod only limits how often you can send requests to the server, not your ability to craft—you can still click recipes and craft items without restriction.

The mod is designed primarily for multiplayer servers where packet spam causes lag, but it functions in single-player too with minimal noticeable impact. Single-player performance is generally unaffected since there's no network traffic to throttle.

Clicks during the cooldown period are either queued or ignored depending on the mod's implementation. You won't lose progress, but rapid clicking won't send multiple requests—only one per cooldown cycle will go through.

Recipe Cooldown Mod is designed to be compatible with most recipe book modifications, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify recipe book behavior. Test your mod combination on a test server if you're using multiple recipe-related mods.

Enable server-side logging or use monitoring tools to track recipe book packets before and after installing the mod—you should see a significant reduction in packet frequency. Server administrators can also check the guides on monitoring recipe book impact for detailed steps.

This mod significantly reduces that risk by limiting packet frequency, but determined attackers might still find other lag vectors. It's one layer of protection, not a complete solution—combine it with other anti-spam measures for best results.

The cooldown applies to all players equally—there's no permission system or exemptions. Everyone experiences the same recipe book packet limiting.

This is usually the cooldown working as intended, but check the troubleshooting guide for responsiveness issues. If the delay is genuinely problematic, verify the mod is installed correctly and check for conflicting mods.
