Recipe Unlocker

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20.2–1.20.6
Minecraft 1.19.3–1.20.1
Minecraft 1.19.2
Minecraft 1.18–1.19.1

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.6 ⬇ Download for 1.19.3–1.20.1 ⬇ Download for 1.19.2 ⬇ Download for 1.18–1.19.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

1.21.2+

Unfortunately, due to network protocol change made in 1.21.2, this mod only works up to 1.21.1. It's possible that it could be rewritten to be more independent of the server but it would take some work ):

Recipe Unlocker

Everyone hates it when you forget how to craft something and you haven't unlocked it in the crafting table recipes yet. It always leads to googling "How to craft ### in Minecraft". This mod fixes that by showing every single recipe. Recipe Unlocker is client-side mod that even works while on servers (Get Permission First though 😉).

Info

⚠️This is a Fabric only mod and there are no plans to make a forge version.
