JustEnoughPaper

JustEnoughPaper is a lightweight, server-side recipe viewer for modern Minecraft Paper and Folia servers. Inspired by JEI, it lets players browse, search, and inspect server recipes through Minecraft's native Paper Dialog API. No client mod, resource pack, chest GUI, or external dependency is required.

Open a polished recipe catalog with /jep, search for an item, and view its ingredients in an accurate 3x3 crafting grid. Recipes are read directly from the live server recipe manager, so compatible datapack recipes appear automatically.

Requires Paper or Folia 26.2 and Java 25 or newer. Not compatible with Spigot or plain Bukkit.

Why JustEnoughPaper?

JustEnoughPaper provides a JEI-like recipe lookup experience without asking players to install a client-side mod. It is designed for survival, SMP, vanilla-plus, and datapack-based servers that want fast recipe discovery while keeping the client completely vanilla.

Features

• Native Paper dialogs: a modern in-game recipe browser with no chest GUI.
• /jep recipe catalog: browse every craftable result in a paginated, searchable catalog with item icons.
• /recipe <item> lookup: open a recipe directly, with tab completion for craftable item names.
• Accurate 3x3 recipe grid: shaped recipes preserve their pattern and shapeless recipes display their ingredients in order.
• Ingredient tooltips: inspect an ingredient and accepted alternatives, such as all valid plank types.
• Multiple recipe navigation: move between every recipe that produces the same item.
• Live recipe manager support: compatible datapack recipes are discovered from the running server.
• Recipe type support: shaped, shapeless, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, campfire, stonecutter, and smithing recipes.
• Folia-aware scheduling: dialog work is run on the player region, making it suitable for region-threaded Folia servers.
