SaveMyRecipeBook
SaveMyRecipeBook optimizes the performance of Minecraft’s recipe book while keeping it fully functional and still showing all recipes.
Unlike similar mods such as Not Enough Recipe Book (NERB), which improves performance by completely removing the recipe book, SaveMyRecipeBook keeps the vanilla recipe book available. Players can still open it, browse recipes, and use it normally.
In practice, this provides performance roughly comparable to NERB, while preserving the recipe book’s functionality instead of removing it entirely.
Performance Issues of the Vanilla Recipe Book
The vanilla recipe book can cause performance issues mainly because of:
- Memory usage: Each player keeps track of their known recipes, which increases memory usage.
- Player data saving: Whenever player data is saved, Minecraft serializes the player’s known recipes.
- Main-thread overhead: Recipe serialization happens on the main thread, which can contribute to lag, especially on servers with large modpack.
How It Works
SaveMyRecipeBook skips the usual recipe availability checks and forces the recipe book to treat all recipes as available. As a result, the game no longer needs to store known recipes in player data.
This reduces recipe-book-related memory usage and avoids the main-thread cost of serializing known recipes during player data saving.
