Just Enough Book (JEB) Mod (1.21.7) is a compact and streamlined alternative to larger recipe-viewing mods like JEI, built for Minecraft players who want recipe clarity without interface clutter. Instead of loading your screen with hundreds of categories and modded items, this mod takes a vanilla-first approach, integrating seamlessly with the built-in recipe book.
When installed, JEB Mod adds small, clean tooltips directly into the vanilla crafting UI. By simply hovering your mouse over an item in the recipe book, you’ll see a minimalistic popup displaying crafting details. No buttons to click, no extra menus to browse just fast, intuitive access to essential recipes.
Whether you’re playing with a few mods or prefer a more immersive survival experience, Just Enough Book offers a lightweight, user-friendly solution that focuses on accessibility and simplicity.
Features:
- Vanilla Integration: Enhances the default recipe book by displaying item recipes in a compact tooltip when hovering over entries.
- Lightweight Alternative to JEI: For players who find Just Enough Items too complex or bloated, JEI offers only the essential information you need.
- Tooltip-Based Display: No new windows, GUIs, or commands just mouse-over an item to view its recipe.
- Mod-Friendly for Simpler Packs: Ideal for low-tech or immersive modpacks where minimal HUD impact is preferred.
- Supports Fabric and NeoForge: Optimized for modern mod loaders with fast load times and minimal performance overhead.

- Survival purists who want a minimal, unobtrusive UI

- Builders and crafters who don’t want to toggle extra interfaces
FAQs
Does this mod replace JEI?
No. It offers a simpler alternative. JEI is more advanced, while JEB is designed for minimal use cases where only basic crafting info is needed.
How do I view recipes?
Simply open your vanilla recipe book and hover over any item — a tooltip will appear showing the recipe without opening any new windows.
Does it support modded items?
JEB works best with vanilla and simple modded items that register recipes with the vanilla crafting system. It may not show recipes for heavily scripted items.
Can I use JEB alongside JEI?
Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. JEB is meant as a replacement for JEI in lightweight setups, not as a companion mod.
Which mod loaders are supported?
Just Enough Book Mod supports Fabric and NeoForge.
