Recipe-search
Java mod listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
Client-side Minecraft mod: track recipe ingredients, then highlight matching items on the ground, in opened chests (cached), and in inventory slots.
⬇ Download on ModrinthRecipe Search Highlight is a client-only QoL mod that helps you gather crafting ingredients without digging through every chest by hand.
Hover a recipe in the vanilla recipe book, an inventory slot, or a recipe viewer (EMI / REI / JEI soft support), then press Z to track its ingredients. Matching items on the ground, slots in your inventory, and chests you’ve already opened light up in a clear ochre highlight so they’re easy to spot.
Need something you haven’t unlocked in the recipe book yet? Open the tracker with Right Shift and use Craft Search to find any survival craft by name and track it instantly. If an item has multiple recipes, a picker lets you choose one craft or track them all.
Features
- Track ingredients from recipe book hover, inventory hover, and soft EMI/REI/JEI support
- Craft Search by item name (full recipe list — not limited to unlocked recipes)
- Multi-recipe picker when several crafts exist for one item
- Ochre highlights on opened chests (cached), item entities, and inventory slots
- Pause all tracks (P), clear all (X), open menu (Right Shift) — all rebindable
- Creative / OP items (command blocks, spawn eggs, etc.) are hidden from Craft Search
- No auto-loot — chests are remembered only after you open them (anti-cheat friendly)
