Base & No-Categories
Beta Recipes is seperated into 2 different editions, 'base' and 'no categories'. Both editions have the same recipes and everything, although, no categories has, as it says, no categories for the recipes, meaning they will not show up in the recipe book!

Beta Recipes server crashes on startup – what to do?

Beta Recipes officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.6. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Beta Recipes – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Beta Recipes consumes the most tick time.
