UseLocalRecipes

A year ago, some brilliant devs were discussing in neoforged/NeoForge#2021 whether servers should keep syncing recipes to clients like they used to.

Emi once put it this way:

"the number of users who setup a neo server with just create and farmer’s delight and have players who want to use JEI or EMI on their own instance”

That got me thinking: what happens after the change? Is there still a way to make this work?

Today, I finally have an answer—even if it might already be common knowledge to some.

Excited to share it with you all! 🙂

Use Local Recipes

Client-side mod. Fixes empty JEI when a server doesn’t sync recipes.

What it does

• Loads recipes from your local Minecraft jar, client mods, and data packs if the server sends none.
• Server recipes always win. Duplicate IDs are removed.
• Resolves tags like #minecraft:planks correctly.
• Loads in a background thread, so no lag.
• Adds client-side JEI + transfer when JEI isn’t on the server. Works with normal and shift-click.

Config

.minecraft/config/uselocalrecipes.json

• enabled
• syncDelayTicks (60)
• preferServerTypes (true)
• warnAboutLocalRecipes (true)
• logFailedRecipes (false)
• clientSideTransfer (true)

Compatibility

• Client-only. Don’t install on servers.
• Singleplayer bypasses it.
• Fabric and NeoForge.

Use Local Recipes

客户端模组。服务器不同步配方时，解决 JEI 无配方的问题。

功能

• 服务器没发配方时，从本地读取。
• 服务器配方优先，重复的部分会去掉本地的。
• 能正确解析标签。
• 服务器没装 JEI 时，提供客户端 + 转移。普通和 Shift 批量都支持。

配置

.minecraft/config/uselocalrecipes.json

• enabled
• syncDelayTicks（60）
• preferServerTypes（true）
• warnAboutLocalRecipes（true）
• logFailedRecipes（false）
• clientSideTransfer（true）

兼容

• 仅客户端，别装服务器。
• 单人游戏自动跳过。
