RBEI - RecipeBookEnoughItems

A vanilla-friendly recipe book for Fabric.
Replaces Minecraft’s recipe book with browse items, recipes, craft, loot, brewing, ores and more.

Built for Minecraft 26.2 · Fabric · client-side only.

Why RBEI?

Minecraft's recipe book is limited. RBEI keeps a vanilla feel while giving you a JEI-style browser that indexes:

• Crafting & smelting recipes
• Brewing steps
• Loot / mob drops (with chances when available)
• Ore generation ranges (Y min / max / best layers)
• Many mod recipes detected automatically

Features

• Fast search: plain text, "@mod", "#tag"
• Category tabs (favorites, tools, blocks, nature, …)
• Recent bar for items you just looked at
• Yellow markers on favorites in the grid

Recipes & uses

• Left click / R -> how to obtain / craft an item
• Right click / U -> where the item is used

  Compatibility notes

  • Client-only - no server install needed
  • Works alongside most Fabric mods
  • Recipe coverage: vanilla + many mods via native recipe types and auto-detection
  • Some highly custom machine UIs may show incomplete layouts; brewing, loot, and ores have dedicated sources
  • Not a JEI/REI/EMI plugin — it does not replace those APIs; it is a standalone browser

  FAQ

  Is this JEI / REI / EMI?
  No. Same idea (browse items & recipes), different mod. You don’t need those installed.

  Can I use it on a server?
  Players install it on the client. The server does not need RBEI.

  Does transfer work everywhere?
  Transfer + works when you opened RBEI from a crafting table or furnace screen with a compatible grid.

  Where are favorites stored?
  Locally in "config/rbei-client.json".

  Thanks for downloading.
