About this Mod

ORB – Optimized Recipe Book

ORB improves the performance of the recipe book without removing it from the game. This means you shouldn't experience any lag spikes related to the recipe book.

WARNING!
This mod is fundamentally incompatible with mods like NERB! ORB is a replacement/upgrade for it.

Features

  • improves performance of Recipe Book Menu
    • shows progress messages when the search index isn't ready yet
    • async checking if the recipes in the book are craftable
  • improves performance of Creative Search Menu
    • shows progress messages when the search index isn't ready yet
  • isolates recipe book data from player data
    • recipe book data is now serialized to/from a dedicated folder called recipe_book
    • player nbt data (/data get entity Dev) will no longer contain recipe book data
  • improves performance when awarding/unlocking a large amount of recipes (i.e. unlocking all recipes with the command \recipe give Dev *)
    • Warning: while recipe unlocking is quick, the advancement triggering will take several seconds to complete
  • expand the recipe command with \recipe get Dev to return the recipe book data

For 1.21.1:

  • improves loading performance of player advancement data (e.g. when joining worlds with many unlocked recipe advancements)

For 1.20.1 and below:

  • async rebuild/refresh of the search index

Compatibilities

Tested with ATM9 & ATM10.

  • Compatible with FastWorkbench (don't forget to enable the recipe book button in the configs)
  • Compatible with CraftingTweaks (don't forget to enable the recipe book button in the configs)
  • Compatible with ModernFix
    • Note: When ModernFix is installed for Minecraft 1.20.1, ORB will no longer rebuild the search index asynchronously.
      ModernFix handles the process instead, so you will not see the "updating search index" messages in the Recipe Book or Creative Search menu.

Incompatibilities

The mod is incompatible with all mods that prevent the server from sending recipe book data to the client.

  • Incompatible with NERB

Frequently Asked Questions

ORB server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 ORB compatible with forge and neoforge?

ORB officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with ORB – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if ORB 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.
