Hello everyone!
So I'm sure many of you (excluding those who play on ManaCube's Creative server, for obvious reasons) have been in a situation where you wanted to craft something, but the recipe has completely vanished from your mind.
When this happens, you probably just decide to either Google the recipe, ask someone for the recipe in chat, or, if you're patient enough, attempt to orient a bunch of materials in some way until you finally get it.
I'm sure these solutions have worked well enough in the past to fulfill all of your crafting needs. However, I've found another awesome solution that makes crafting easier, faster, and certainly more convenient.
So, I'm sure many of you are familiar with, or have at least seen the green recipe book located below the crafting section of your inventory. If you haven't seen it before, here's a screenshot indicating where you can find it.

In the past, I've always assumed that this addition to Minecraft was entirely pointless; maybe because I didn't fully understand how it worked.
Now, I could just bore you with all the nitty-gritty details of this feature; but for the sake of time, I'll just give you a quote from Dinnerbone — one of Mojang's head Minecraft developers.

The way it works in vanilla survival is that you either "discover" a recipe by crafting it manually, or some other condition where we think "okay now you have sticks, we'll teach you how to make a pickaxe". After a recipe is "discovered" it's available in this recipe book, an optional thing you can click to in a crafting screen. From there you can see all the recipes you've discovered and how to craft them, so you don't need to google for the shape and ingredients.
"
At this point, you might be saying to yourself, "so what?"
Well, the nice part about this crafting recipe-book is that you no longer have to click and drag blocks across the 3x3 crafting square in your crafting table. If you wanna craft chests, all you need to do is shift-click on the chest icon in the recipe book, and it automatically arranges the max number of wooden planks in the way that they need to be organized in order to craft chests. Then, just shift-click on the chest icon that shows up to the right of your crafting table, and BOOM, two quick clicks and you have yourself a stack of chests.
On the other hand, the not-so-nice part is that sometimes your recipe book might not have the recipe that you need to craft a certain item at that moment in time. This is, of course, is when you would decide to search Google or ask your friendly ManaCube community for the recipe.
Now, I don't know about you, but I LOVE to be quick and efficient when I play video-games for extended periods of time. Sometimes, I just can't be bothered to open up my internet-browser just to search up a crafting recipe or sit in chat and wait for people to respond to my request.
Well here's where my solution comes in handy!
All you need to do is:
Step 1) Open up Single Player mode and select "Create New World".
Step 2) Select "More World Options".
Step 3) Set "Allow Cheats" to "ON".
Step 4) Start up the world and open up chat.
Step 5) Copy and paste the following command into the chat bar & hit enter.
Now, when you log back onto your favorite ManaCube server, you should have EVERY crafting recipe at your disposal in your green recipe book.
I hope you guys found this tip/tutorial useful!
Side note:
I apologize if my coloring scheme hurt your eyes or was too distracting; this is my first thread on the forums and I'm still trying to figure out how to color my posts so they're visually stimulating but also not too distracting.
Please feel free to leave suggestions/constructive criticism below.
As always, thank you for your time & I hope to see you around!
