A Blueprint is an Item that lets the player learn a craftable recipe without having to prototype it first. When used, it restores 15 . Blueprints themselves do not actually create an item; they only allow the player to craft the item away from the station normally used to prototype it.
Blueprints can be found in some Set Pieces. The player can find more than one Blueprint that unlocks the same recipe, and all Blueprints will restore Sanity when used, even if the player has already researched the item.
Blueprints can also be obtained by destroying Tumbleweeds. It is possible to find Blueprints for items in the Ancient Tab, but an Ancient Pseudoscience Station will still be needed to actually craft the item. Ancient Tab Blueprints do not restore any Sanity.
In Don't Starve Together, Blueprints for recipes that are already unlocked will no longer be able to be learned again.
In A New Reign, Rare Blueprints were introduced for crafting recipes which cannot be learned any other way. Many of these Blueprints drop from Boss Monsters, providing incentive for players to fight them. Generally, the recipe from the Blueprint will use the unique drop from the boss.
Below is table listing all rare Blueprint items. Unless stated otherwise, if it is a mob, it must be killed to obtain the Blueprint.

Multiple Blueprints
Blueprints - it's a bunch of Blueprints. They are not present in the game as an item. When crafting them, the player immediately receives several Blueprints. There are two types of them in the game so far: Ruins Turf Blueprints and Imitation Ruins Turf Blueprints

Trivia
If the player uses the console to make all recipes available, all random Blueprints spawned will be called "MISSING NAME".
There are different console commands for each prototypical item in the game. e.g., to spawn a Blueprint for a Spear, the following command should be used: c_spawn("spear_blueprint").
Adverts were changed to be learnable like blueprints instead of having to be placed into the Tackle Receptacle in the March 2022 QoL update. They were also removed from the drops of Birds, Moose/Goose, and Malbatross
