What is SkyRecipes?

SkyRecipes is a standalone Fabric client mod that adds the full SkyBlock item and recipe database to Minecraft, displayed through Reliable Recipe Viewer (RRV). On first launch it downloads and compiles data from the NotEnoughUpdates Repository, then keeps it cached and refreshed in the background. The result: instant recipe lookup, powerful search, and a clean UI for every SkyBlock item.

Recipe Types

SkyRecipes registers 12 custom SkyBlock recipe categories in RRV. Press R over an item to see how it's crafted or obtained, and U to see what recipes use it.

SkyBlock Crafting — Classic 3×3 crafting grid recipes pulled from the NEU recipe field. Shows ingredients, output count, craft requirements, and a direct link to the SkyBlock wiki.

SkyBlock Forge — Forge recipes with up to 9 ingredient slots, output item, and craft duration (e.g. "2h 30m"). Includes forge unlock requirement hints.

SkyBlock Mob Drops — Drop tables showing where you can obtain an item. Each entry displays its drop chance (e.g. 25% drop chance).

SkyBlock NPC Shop — Shop recipes showing the cost of an item and what you receive in return.

SkyBlock NPC Info — Info cards for every NPC (*_NPC items) showing their island, coordinates, and a Navigate button to locate them in-game. Requires SkyHanni.

SkyBlock Kat Upgrade — Kat pet upgrade recipes showing the input pet, required materials, coin cost, upgrade time, and resulting pet tier.

SkyBlock Trade — Simple trade recipes — one cost item, one result item.

SkyBlock Wiki Info — Fallback info card for items that have wiki URLs but no other recipe data, keeping every SkyBlock item accessible inside the viewer.

SkyBlock Essence Upgrade — Essence upgrade recipes showing the input item, essence type and cost per star, any companion materials required, and the upgraded output.

SkyBlock Reforge — Reforge recipes showing what stats each reforge provides. Displays the input item, reforge stone, applicable rarities, and a blacksmith NPC preview.

SkyBlock Garden Mutation — A built-in garden mutation reference with a 6×6 grid layout, surface/water requirements, spreading conditions, effects, and copper cost. Quickly look up the required layout for any mutation.

SkyBlock Shard Fusion — Every attribute shard shows the fusion combinations that produce it, with input amounts and output quantity. Each fusion card includes a SkyShards button (optimal fusion paths and prices on skyshards.com) and a Bazaar button. Clicking a shard also opens an info card with its ability, rarity, category, shard ID, and family.

Search & Discovery

Smart Autocomplete

Type in the RRV search bar and SkyRecipes shows gray ghost-text suggestions matching item display names, internal names, aliases, and recipe page names. Press Right Arrow or Tab to accept a suggestion instantly.

Common Aliases

SkyRecipes understands SkyBlock shorthand. Try searching:

• aote → Aspect of the End
• aotv → Aspect of the Void
• juju → Juju Shortbow
• term → Terminator
• hype → Hyperion
• gdrag → Golden Dragon Pet
• valk → Valkyrie
• ...and more.

Category Filtering

Click the category toggle buttons above the search bar to filter the item list to Armor, Weapons, Tools, Accessories, Pets, Enchanted Books, Minions, Equipment, or Materials.

You can also search by category path:

• %ARMOR — all armor
• %ARMOR/HELMET — helmets only
• %PET — pets
• %TOOL — tools
• %WEAPON — weapons

Advanced Search Syntax

SkyRecipes supports structured queries beyond plain keywords:

Combine filters freely: rarity:legendary damage>200 dungeon sword finds legendary dungeon swords with more than 200 damage.

Exact phrases & regex

Plain keywords are matched independently and can land anywhere in an item's name or lore — even on different lines. So reforge stone mining speed also turns up items that merely happen to mention "mining" and "speed" on separate lines (the Sunstone, for example), not just true mining-speed reforges.

Wrap words in double quotes to require them as a contiguous phrase on a single line:

• reforge stone "mining speed" — reforge stones whose effect text actually reads "mining speed"
• "reforge stone" "mining speed" — same result, with both parts required as phrases

For full power, put a regular expression between slashes. It's case-insensitive and matched one line at a time (like grep), so it never bridges two lore lines:

• /mining (speed|fortune)/ — lines mentioning mining speed or mining fortune
• /\+\d+ mining speed/ — a numeric mining-speed bonus such as "+30 Mining Speed"

Type the alternation pipe | directly — /(speed|fortune)/. Don't write \|; in a regex that means a literal | character and the alternation won't work.

New to regex? A regular expression is a tiny pattern language for describing text. You only need a handful of pieces:

• . — any single character; .* — any run of characters ("anything in between")
• \d — any digit 0–9; \d+ — one or more digits, i.e. a number like 30
• + — one or more of the item before it; * — zero or more; ? — makes the item before it optional (swords? matches "sword" and "swords")
• a|b — matches a or b; wrap the choices in parentheses to group them: (speed|fortune)
• [abc] — any one of the listed characters ([ivx] matches a roman-numeral letter)
• ^ — the start of the line; $ — the end of the line (^aspect matches lines that begin with "aspect")
• \ — makes the next special character literal, so \+ matches a real + and \. a real .

Plain letters and spaces just match themselves, so you can mix them in. Putting it together, /\+\d+ (speed|fortune)/ reads as: a literal +, then a number, a space, then "speed" or "fortune" — matching stat lines like "+30 Speed" or "+12 Fortune". Everything is case-insensitive and checked one line at a time, so you never have to worry about upper/lowercase or a pattern spilling across two lore lines.

Phrases and regex combine with every other filter — e.g. %WEAPON rarity:legendary "ability damage". A half-typed or invalid regex is simply ignored until it's complete, so your results never blank out while you type. Plain keyword searches are completely unaffected.

Search Calculator

Evaluate math directly in the RRV search bar. The result appears as gray ghost text next to your query — no need to press anything.

Basic arithmetic

• 10+10 → 20
• 50m / 1.2k → 41,666.66667
• (1000+500)*2 → 3,000

SkyBlock unit suffixes (no spaces needed)

• k → ×1,000 (e.g. 1.5m + 250k → 1,750,000)
• m → ×1,000,000
• b → ×1,000,000,000
• t → ×1,000,000,000,000
• s → ×64 (stack, e.g. 27s → 1,728)
• e → ×160 (enchanted item, e.g. 10e → 1,600)
• % → ÷100, a postfix percentage modifier (e.g. 50 * 10% → 5)

Operators

• + - * / ^ (power)
• x can be used in place of * for multiplication
• ** is treated as ^

Config: calculatorPrecision controls decimal places (0–10, default 5).

Family Expansion

Tiered items — dungeon stars, pet tiers, minion tiers, accessory upgrades, and enchantment levels — are grouped into families. When family expansion is enabled, pressing R on one member can show recipes across the entire family, so you don't have to hunt down each tier separately.

Tiered Item Grouping

The item list groups tiered items into single expandable entries: minions, pets, enchantments, drills, accessory upgrade lines (Talisman → Ring → Artifact → Relic), armor upgrade lines, and crafted upgrade chains (Diamond → Enchanted Diamond → Enchanted Diamond Block, Aspect of the End → Aspect of the Void, and similar). Click a group to expand it; searching still surfaces exact tiers directly. Controlled by the groupTieredItems and groupCraftedChains settings, with per-group management in RRV's Stack Groups screen.

Configuration

Open the config through Mod Menu → SkyRecipes → Config. SkyRecipes uses MidnightLib, so all options are editable in-game with live saving.

Recipe category visibility is managed natively by RRV through its Recipe Category Config screen.

Installation

1. Install Minecraft 26.1.x with the Fabric Loader.
2. Download the latest .jar from Modrinth.
3. Also find and download the lates Fabric API and Reliable Recipe Viewer (RRV) jar and palce it in your mods folder. MidnightLib is bundled inside the SkyRecipes jar, so no separate download is needed.

Data sources

SkyRecipes would not exist without these community-maintained data sources:

• NotEnoughUpdates Repository (MIT) — the SkyBlock item and recipe database (items, crafting, forge, drops, NPC shops, essence upgrades, attribute shards, and more). Downloaded and compiled at runtime, kept refreshed in the background.
• SkyShards by Campionnn — the attribute shard fusion dataset powering the Shard Fusion recipe category. Fetched at runtime; visit skyshards.com for optimal fusion paths accounting for price.
• Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki — the target of the in-mod wiki buttons.
