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.
The vanilla recipe book can cause performance issues mainly because of:
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.
