Live Recipes

English

Live Recipes is a Forge 1.20.1 administration mod for servers and modpack development. Operators can manage crafting recipes directly in game and apply changes immediately, without restarting the server.

Visual recipe editor

Run /lr menu to open an interface where operators can:

• browse and search every registered vanilla or modded item;
• place ingredients in a responsive 3×3 crafting grid;
• choose the result and output amount;
• create shaped or shapeless recipes;
• browse, search and load existing crafting recipes;
• edit an existing recipe;
• disable a recipe with a two-step confirmation;
• use a mandatory, unique ID such as liverecipes:my_recipe for every new recipe.

The layout adapts to the window size and Minecraft GUI Scale.

Live, persistent and server-authoritative

Every action is validated on the server and requires operator permission level 2. Changes are stored in the world’s liverecipes_generated datapack, reloaded immediately and preserved after the server closes.

The /lr command also provides JSON-based tools to list, inspect, create, copy, disable, restore and reload datapack recipes. This allows compatible recipe serializers from other mods to be managed as well.

Installation

1. Install Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.4.28 or newer in the 47.x line, and Java 17.
2. Put the same Live Recipes JAR in the mods folder of the dedicated server and every client that connects to it.
3. Start the game/server and run /lr menu as an operator.

No additional mod dependencies are required.

Compatibility notes

• The visual editor focuses on crafting-table recipes.
• JSON commands support recipes handled by Minecraft’s datapack RecipeManager, including compatible serializers registered by other mods.
• Proprietary machine systems that do not use datapack recipes require dedicated integration.
• Tag ingredients display one accepted item as a preview. Saving an edited slot through the visual editor changes that slot to the selected direct item.

Português

Live Recipes é um mod administrativo para Forge 1.20.1 voltado a servidores e criação de modpacks. Operadores podem criar, alterar, desativar e restaurar receitas dentro do jogo, aplicando tudo imediatamente e sem reiniciar o servidor.

Use /lr menu para abrir o editor visual, pesquisar itens vanilla e de mods, montar a grade 3×3, escolher o resultado, carregar receitas existentes e removê-las com confirmação. Toda receita nova exige um ID exclusivo, como liverecipes:minha_receita, evitando substituições acidentais.

As alterações são validadas pelo servidor, exigem permissão de operador nível 2 e ficam salvas no datapack liverecipes_generated do mundo. Instale o mesmo arquivo no servidor e em todos os clientes conectados.
