About this Mod
CraftTracker
Never lose track of what you need to craft.
Open any recipe in JEI, click the pin button, and CraftTracker shows a live checklist of every ingredient — like a Jade tooltip, but for crafting.
How it works
- Open JEI and find a recipe (vanilla, modded machines, Create, etc.)
- Click the map pin on the recipe page
- A compact HUD appears showing each ingredient:
- ✓ — you have enough in your inventory
- 5/6 — you have 5, need 6
- Press Delete or Shift+click the pin to stop tracking
Features
- One-click tracking — pin once, HUD stays until you clear it
- Compact HUD — small panel, configurable size and position
- In-game settings — Mods → CraftTracker → Config (position, scale, auto-hide)
- Create support — mixing, pressing, sequenced assembly — anything JEI shows
- Smart inventory check — optional hotbar and offhand counting
- Auto-hide — hide HUD when all ingredients are collected (configurable)
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge
- JEI 19.27.0+ (required)
Create is optional — Create recipes are tracked automatically through JEI.

CraftTracker server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is CraftTracker compatible with neoforge?
CraftTracker officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with CraftTracker – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CraftTracker consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
