The recipe book is a mechanic in Minecraft:Minecraft that serves as a catalog of recipes and as a crafting, smelting, and banner patterning guide.
Java Edition
The recipe book can be displayed in Minecraft:inventory, Minecraft:crafting table, Minecraft:furnace, Minecraft:blast furnace and Minecraft:smoker. The player must enter the GUI and press the Minecraft:knowledge book icon; the recipe book then opens to the left.
Recipes are stored in several different tabs:
- Crafting Table and Inventory
- Template:InvSprite - the first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
- Template:InvSprite - the second tab contains utility items, Minecraft:tools, Minecraft:weapons and Minecraft:armor.
- Template:InvSprite - the third tab contains building materials.
- Template:InvSprite - the fourth tab contains Minecraft:food, ingredients, and miscellaneous things.
- Template:InvSprite - the fifth tab contains Minecraft:redstone materials.
- Furnace
- Template:InvSprite - the first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
- Template:InvSprite - the second tab contains Minecraft:food items.
- Template:InvSprite - the third tab contains building and decorative materials.
- Template:InvSprite - the fourth tab contains miscellaneous things.
- Blast Furnace
- Template:InvSprite - the first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
- Template:InvSprite - the second tab contains the smelting recipe for Minecraft:Redstone Ore.<ref>MC-144900</ref>
- Template:InvSprite - the third tab contains smelted Minecraft:ores and recipes for recycling iron, gold, and chainmail gear.
- Smoker
- Template:InvSprite - the first, topmost tab contains every unlocked recipe.
- Template:InvSprite - the second tab contains Minecraft:food items.
Clicking on an item in the list displays its recipe in the grid. The item can then be crafted if the materials are available; otherwise, the button containing the item is highlighted red. Each click shows alternate patterns for the same crafting recipe, if there are several patterns (for example, each click on a Minecraft:banner crafting recipe shows all the possible banners using different colored Minecraft:wools). Right-click on the item shows all the alternate patterns.
Shift-clicking an item in the list puts all available materials in the crafting grid.
The button in the top right corner of the recipe book toggles between "Show all" and "Show craftable"; the latter displays only recipes for which the player has the necessary materials in their inventory. The top-left corner also contains a search bar to further narrow the list.
There are also recipes for Minecraft:campfires and Minecraft:stonecutters, but they don't have a recipe book interface.
Tabs for specific categories can be hidden from the recipe book if there are no known recipes for that particular tab, but the search tab is always visible even if there are no known recipes.

Bedrock Edition
Unlike Template:El, the recipe book can be displayed only in the Minecraft:inventory and Minecraft:crafting table in Minecraft:Survival mode, but there is an experiment for a recipe book in Minecraft:furnace, blast furnace, and Minecraft:smoker blocks. The player must enter the GUI, which opens the book by default.
Crafting
Minecraft:Crafting recipes are stored in several different tabs. The tabs contain matching items from each tab of the Creative inventory, so an item found in a particular tab in Creative can be found in its equivalent tab in the recipe book, should it have a recipe.
The tabs are as follows:
- File:BE icon recipe construction.png Construction - contains building materials.
- File:BE icon recipe equipment.png Equipment - contains tools, weapons, and armor.
- File:BE icon recipe item.png Items - contains Minecraft:ore items and miscellaneous things.
- File:BE icon recipe nature.png Nature - contains nature-related materials and food.
- All - contains every unlocked recipe, with a search bar to filter on name.
Clicking on an item in the list puts all available materials in the crafting grid, displaying the recipe. The item can then be crafted if the materials are available; otherwise, the button containing the item is highlighted red. Right-click on the item automatically crafts it, and pressing Template:Key crafts all items based on how many materials the player have in the inventory.
The button in the top right corner of the recipe book toggles between "All" and "Craftable"; the latter displays only recipes for which the player has the necessary materials in their inventory.

Smelting
Template:Experimental Minecraft:Smelting recipes are stored in tabs similar to crafting recipes, but these cannot be found in the Creative inventory.
The tabs are as follows:
- Food - contains food items.
- Blocks - contains building and decorative materials.
- Items - contains miscellaneous items.
- All - contains every recipe, with a search bar to filter on name.
Clicking on an item in the list puts all available materials in the top smelting slot. The item can then be smelted if the materials are available; otherwise, the button containing the item is highlighted red.
The button in the top right corner of the recipe book toggles between "All" and "Smeltable"/"Smokable"; the latter displays only recipes for which the player has the necessary materials in their inventory.

Unlocking
The player must unlock recipes before using them in the recipe book. Recipes are unlocked upon meeting certain criteria; while for most recipes, one must hold a specific item, there are a few exceptions (for instance, boats are unlocked by touching water, whereas chests are unlocked after filling ten inventory slots). Once a recipe has been unlocked, the player is alerted of it via a notification that appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and the recipe becomes accessible through its relevant interface (inventory, crafting table, furnace, et cetera).
By default, the player does not need the recipes to craft a specific item; if they know a recipe without it being unlocked, they can insert the required items into the interface manually. However, if Template:Cd is set to Template:Cd, a recipe must be unlocked in order to craft a specific item at all.
Recipes can be granted or retracted by force, either through use of the Template:Cmd command or a Minecraft:knowledge book.
In Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, if Template:Cd is set to Template:Cd while creating a world, the player can view all recipes.

Trivia
- Template:IN, if the player searches for "excitedze" in the recipe book, the Minecraft:language switches to Pirate Speak.<ref>Template:Reddit</ref>
- This is a reference to "ExcitedZE", an alias used by Minecraft:Maria Lemón, whose avatar is a pirate.
