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 for recipes that are already unlocked will no longer be able to be learned again.

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 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.

Other sources of rare Blueprints are the Stagehand (provides Blueprint for End Table), Crumpled Packages (provide Blueprints for Desert Goggles), the Ancient Chest, Distilled Knowledge, and the Loot Stash (can provide some rare Blueprint).

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 currently 21 items that can only be researched through Blueprints, which are the Bundling Wrap, the Old Bell in Reign of Giants, the Vortex Cloak and Living Artifact in Hamlet, and the End Table, Red Funcap, Green Funcap, Blue Funcap, Glowcap, Mushlight, Napsack, Desert Goggles, Scaled Furnace, 6 Replica Relics, The Lazy Deserter, and the Strident Trident in Don't Starve Together.
• 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").
• As of the March 2022 QoL update, the Feathery Canvas, Winged Sail, and Waterfowl Can no longer require a Blueprint from Malbatross in order to craft them.
