Configuration

Never Enough Recipes is designed to work out of the box with minimal setup. However, server administrators can tweak a few global settings to best fit their server's needs.

The main configuration file is automatically generated in your config folder under the ner directory.

Global Settings

Path	Default	Description
`book.on_join`	`false`	If set to `true`, the server will automatically give the Never Enough Recipes physical book item to new players the very first time they join the server (`!player.hasPlayedBefore()`). Players can right-click this book to open the Main Menu.
`groups.enabled`	`true`	When enabled, visually groups related items (like all beds, wool, or custom registered groups) under a single collapsible header in the Main Menu. This massively reduces UI clutter. Setting it to `false` forces all items to render individually.
`metrics`	`true`	Toggles bStats anonymous metric tracking for the plugin.

Player Data

In addition to the global config, NER keeps track of individual player preferences. This data is stored in the plugins/ner/users/ folder, with each player getting their own <uuid> file.

This file tracks:

Favourites: The items a player has bookmarked for quick access.
Recents: The last 15 items the player viewed in the Recipe Viewer.
Bindings: The player's custom control mapping (e.g., whether they use Left-Click or Right-Click to view recipes vs. usages).
