Recipe book

The recipe book is a mechanic in Minecraft that serves as a catalog of recipes and as a crafting, smelting, and banner patterning guide.

Interface[]

Java Edition[]

The recipe book can be displayed in inventory, crafting table, furnace, blast furnace and smoker. The player must enter the GUI and press the knowledge book icon; the recipe book then opens to the left.

Recipes are stored in several different tabs:

Crafting Table and Inventory

The first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
The second tab contains tools, weapons, and armor.
The third tab contains building materials.
The fourth tab contains food items and miscellaneous things.
The fifth tab contains redstone materials.

Furnace

The first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
The second tab contains food items.
The third tab contains building and decorative materials.
The fourth tab contains miscellaneous things.

Blast Furnace

The first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
The second tab contains the smelting recipe for Redstone Ore.^[1]
The third tab contains smelted ores and recipes for recycling iron, gold, and chainmail gear.

Smoker

The first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
The second tab contains food items.

RecipeBookRightClick — Interacting an item in the recipe book shows all the patterns.

Clicking on an item in the list displays its recipe in the grid. The item can then be crafted if the materials are available; otherwise, the button containing the item is highlighted red. Each click shows alternate patterns for the same crafting recipe, if there are several patterns (for example, each click on a banner crafting recipe shows all the possible banners using different colored wools). Right-click on the item shows all the alternate patterns.

Shift-clicking an item in the list puts all available materials in the crafting grid.

The button in the top right corner of the recipe book toggles between "Show all" and "Show craftable"; the latter displays only recipes for which the player has the necessary materials in their inventory. The top-left corner also contains a search bar to further narrow the list.

There are also recipes for campfires and stonecutters, but they don't have a recipe book interface.

Tabs for specific categories can be hidden from the recipe book if there are no known recipes for that particular tab, but the search tab is always visible even if there are no known recipes.

Bedrock Edition[]

Unlike Java Edition, the recipe book can only be displayed in inventory and crafting table in Survival mode. The player must enter the GUI and click on the recipe book tab.

Recipes are stored in several different tabs. The tabs contain matching items from each tab of the Creative inventory, so an item found in a particular tab in Creative can be found in its equivalent tab in the recipe book, should it have a recipe.

The first tab contains building materials.
The second tab contains tools, weapons, and armor.
The third tab contains ore items and miscellaneous things.
The fourth tab contains nature-related materials and food.
The fifth and last tab contains every unlocked recipe.

Clicking on an item in the list puts all available materials in the crafting grid, displaying the recipe. The item can then be crafted if the materials are available; otherwise, the button containing the item is highlighted red. Right-click on the item automatically crafts it, and pressing ⇧ Shift crafts all items based on how many materials the player have in the inventory.

The button in the top right corner of the recipe book toggles between "All" and "Craftable"; the latter displays only recipes for which the player has the necessary materials in their inventory. The top-left corner also contains a search bar to further narrow the list.

Unlocking[]

This section needs to be rewritten. ^[discuss^]

Reason: furnace/smoker/blast furnace/campfire recipes; bedrock "unlock" system

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

The notification that pops up when new recipes are unlocked. ‌^{[Java Edition only]}

The player can unlock new recipes upon meeting certain criteria (gathering materials, being near water, having a certain number of filled inventory slots, etc) It is also possible to use a knowledge book to unlock new recipes.

Once a recipe has been unlocked, the player will receive a notification in the top right-hand corner of their screen, alerting the player that new recipes have been unlocked. They can then open their inventory, or use a block (Crafting table, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, etc) to view the recipe and the materials required to craft the recipe result.

Recipes can also be given or taken away by using the /recipe command.

Trivia[]

In Java Edition, if the player searches for "excitedze" in the recipe book, the language switches to Pirate Speak.^[2]
- This is a reference to "ExcitedZE", an alias used by Maria Lemón, whose avatar is a pirate.
