Ever waited just a fraction too long for your crafting table to figure out what you're making? Fast Recipe Search Mod replaces Minecraft's default recipe-matching system with a hash-based recipe tree, delivering speed improvements that range from 8x faster in vanilla all the way up to nearly 7000x faster in massive modpacks like ATM9. If you run any sizeable modpack on a server, this is the kind of under-the-hood optimization that makes everything feel snappier without changing a single gameplay mechanic.
Key Features
- Massive recipe lookup speedups — Vanilla searches become 8–85x faster, while large modpacks see gains between 133x and 6942x thanks to a hash-code recipe tree that replaces the default one-by-one matching approach.
- High-performance recipe tree API — Exposes a reusable recipe tree that other mods (or even non-Minecraft projects) can tap into for their own recipe lookups.
- Broad mod compatibility — Works alongside mods that use the original recipe manager, and is fully compatible with FastFurnace and FastWorkbench.
- Server-side optimization focus — The performance gains apply to server-side recipe searches. The client still uses the vanilla method, which means mods like Client Crafting become less impactful when this mod is active.
- Multi-loader support — Available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge across Minecraft 1.20.x and 1.21.x.

FAQ
Does Fast Recipe Search Mod actually make a noticeable difference in vanilla Minecraft?
In vanilla, recipe lookups are already fast enough that the 8–85x speedup is hard to feel during normal play. The real benefit shows up in large modpacks with hundreds of recipes, where gains can exceed 6000x.
Is Fast Recipe Search Mod compatible with FastWorkbench and FastFurnace?
Yes. Fast Recipe Search Mod is fully compatible with both FastWorkbench and FastFurnace, and they can run together without conflicts.
Do I need to install this mod on both client and server?
Yes, the mod requires installation on both the client and the server. The primary optimization happens server-side, but both sides need the mod present for it to function correctly.
