Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0, potentially outdated):
sonitorecipepin_1.0.1.zip  1-click install


 

What it dooo : 

Adds the ability to pin recipes to your screen via the handbook 

Open a grid recipe , click on the button at the top right of the ingredients , this will open a little window with the recipe on it ,
this window doesn't distrub your gameplay , you can close it at any time or even collapse/expand it 

 

Why it was made  :

I tried crafting something that had like 6 items i need to keep track of placement of quanities , Helll nah i'm not doing that , 
I prefer to make a mod which was arguably the hardest mod I had to code than to spend 2IQ of my brain trying to remember a craft
I'm not looking forward to upgrade it if there's changes to the api , good god 

Personal Notes: 

Enjoy ! 

This is compatible (Tested) with Improved Handbook Recipes 
This is compatible (Tested) with showcraftable

I made a kofi tehe : https://ko-fi.com/sunday_

Is it possible to add buttons to alternate recipes? Some mods (and maybe vanilla items, but I doubt it) have alternate recipes that use different ingredients for the same item and show as a second crafting menu on the guide, but only the first crafting UI on the guide page gets a button to pin it.

Sonito I'm sorry this took so long, but here's the log: Let me know if I can provide anything else.

Sorry I can't know for sure it's the mod if you don't have any logs I can read for the crash, 

💬 Corvie, Sep 23rd at 4:28 AM

Had a crash from clicking the minimize button.

You are most welcome !

it's done :D

💬 Sonito , Sep 21st at 1:37 PM

@C4BR3R4 Added language file 

 

💬 Sonito , Sep 21st at 1:17 PM (modified Sep 21st at 1:45 PM)

smt923
for the backpackport i wish I had time to help you but I have other more fixes to do sorry

 

 

💬 Sonito , Sep 21st at 1:12 PM

yea i Just saw that , I was about to comment on it on his mod but i might as well do it myself on this mod

 

💬 Slye_Fox, Sep 21st at 12:47 PM

Would it be possible to make it compatable with "Show Craftable"?
Currently the buttons from both mods overlap.

💬 smt923, Sep 20th at 11:58 PM

this is so good, is there any chance of a 1.20.12 backport?

💬 RivetTheScree, Sep 20th at 4:13 PM

THANK YOU
i've got horrible memory so trying to remember why i needed 32 nails and strips for something after the long process of hammering them all out sometimes just escapes me

💬 C4BR3R4, Sep 20th at 3:56 PM

Sonito It's missing a language file, and it would be the perfect mod.

💬 Aislen, Sep 20th at 12:36 AM

This is something I've really been wanting in the game!

💬 Sonito , Sep 19th at 9:11 PM

@TrippyTheO yea same for me i can't be bothered hahaha , next patch will have subway surfer on the side as an option x)

 

💬 breeze108, Sep 19th at 9:07 PM

I am very glad to know that my memory is normal.  I thought I had some problems not being able to remember a crafting recipe long enough to craft it.

💬 TrippyTheO, Sep 19th at 8:24 PM

Oh god finally. I've been playing Minecraft mod packs that had this and it was painful for my memory-wrecked brain to remember what I had seen for a crafting recipe just five seconds prior. 

💬 HostilHobbit, Sep 19th at 8:09 PM (modified Sep 19th at 8:11 PM)

I'm so sorry, so I'm crashing and finally figured out its due to running improved handbook recipes with your mod at the same time lol, it throws a crash whenever I click on any metal chain/scale. Heres the crash log.
Edit: Nvm the crash is just annoying as hell and wont go away, its not your mod dont worry.
