I don't know if this would be easy by any means because of it being a vanilla component to the game, but if you could add a xy movement system to move the recipe book would be great! as I'm running into an issue with another mod where I have more slots, and the book is overlapping the slots that I would like to position, this would help fix that scenario.

Overlapping occurs with which recipe books? Vanilla ones, or the modded ones (smithing, brewing)?

The vanilla recipe book. It’s basically in the way of where I want to move another modded HUD element but I can’t due to HUD limitations. I was wondering if they’re could be a way to move it via an x y plane to move it within the inventory.

I’m referring to a few mods, I have a few mods like trinkets, and backslot addon. And the issue is that the charm slot that was added to trinkets and sometimes has 2 slots due to another mod I’m trying to identify. I have no idea why, but then I have to move the HUD elements of the back slots. Ideally I would like to move them next to the offhand slot, but can’t due to the recipe book in the way. As I thought this would be an interesting feature to add so that moving the recipe book could be moved anywhere within the inventory (ideally the top half) to allow for modded compatibility. Modded books usually already have XY movement. For example the patchouli mod and its addon called patchouli button, which adds a book with modded support, can be moved via x y coordinates to move it anywhere in the inventory.

Finally, it has to do with the inventory. None of the other menus are what I’m looking for other than the inventory recipe book, unless you would like to do all vanilla menus too. But the inventory is just fine. Just asking for the inventory recipe book to be able to move.

Thank you for reading this and hope it answers your question.

It also overlap with the Gui in crafting terminal of Tom's Simple storage mod
