Keep Oraxen recipe-book groups understandable for players

Applies to: Oraxen; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

Recipe-book grouping changes how players discover related crafts. Check grouping separately from crafting correctness so a tidy menu does not hide a missing or inaccessible recipe.

Check the installed content

Oraxen combines server-side item definitions with client resource-pack assets. Check the installed release before copying a recipe or component example, because Minecraft item formats have changed between releases. Work on a staging copy for changes that affect existing player items.

Work through the change

1. List the recipes that should appear together and record their output types. The maintainer reference describes grouping through a nonempty group and compatible outputs; confirm your installed-release behaviour.
2. Back up those recipe definitions and change the group on a small staging set. Keep recipe identities, ingredients and outputs unchanged during this presentation test.
3. Use a clean test player with normal permissions and unlock the relevant recipes through the intended gameplay path. Inspect the recipe book rather than relying only on an administrator account.
4. Craft each grouped recipe and compare the displayed variants with the actual outputs. Include an unrelated recipe to ensure its discovery and grouping were not affected.

Verify the result

Players should find the intended variants together and still craft each one correctly. A recipe that should remain separate should retain its own entry or documented grouping behaviour.

If the result differs

If crafting works but the book looks wrong, inspect discovery and group compatibility. If one variant disappears entirely, confirm that its file loaded and that the player can access it before changing the group again.

Keep a recovery path

Restore the saved group values if navigation becomes confusing. Do not rename recipe IDs to solve a display problem without checking the effect on existing player recipe discovery and dependent content.
