Enhanced Guide

📖 Enhanced Guide

Slimefun Legacy keeps the familiar Slimefun Guide while extending it into a more useful navigation and recipe tool for large addon-heavy servers.

Core uses

The Guide is where players discover categories, inspect recipes, see research locks and understand machine/multiblock requirements.

Useful commands:

/sf guide
/sf open_guide
/sf search <query>

/sf open_guide is permission-controlled and may not be available to normal players on every server.

Legacy enhancements

Slimefun Legacy's native Enhanced Guide includes features such as:

• Smart search for finding items in very large installations.
• Bookmarks for keeping track of progression goals.
• Safe recipe preparation workflows.
• Universal machine recipe browsing when machines/addons expose structured recipe information.
• Addon ownership diagnostics to help identify which addon contributed a problematic menu or item.
• Slow-menu/runtime isolation safeguards so one bad addon menu is less likely to damage the whole guide experience.

Recipes are server-specific

The in-game Guide should be treated as the authoritative recipe reference for your server because:

• items can be disabled;
• research settings can differ;
• addons can add categories and recipes;
• addon versions can change recipes;
• server owners may run custom content.

A web wiki is best for concepts, progression, troubleshooting and administration. The Guide is best for the exact item in front of you.

When a recipe does not work

Check these in order:

1. Is the item enabled?
2. Is the recipe shown in your current Guide?
3. Are you using the correct crafting/machine type?
4. Does the item require research or a permission?
5. Is the output inventory full?
6. For powered machines, is enough energy available?
7. Is the recipe contributed by an addon that failed to enable?
8. Run /sf versions and ask an admin to check /sf doctor compatibility if an addon is involved.
