+
+Example function to hide recipes for items from a mod called "secretstuff":
+
+```lua
+craftguide.add_recipe_filter("Hide secretstuff", function(recipes)
+	local filtered = {}
+	for _, recipe in ipairs(recipes) do
+		if recipe.output:sub(1,12) ~= "secretstuff:" then

+
+#### `craftguide.remove_recipe_filter(name)`
+
+Removes the recipe filter with the given name.
+
+#### `craftguide.set_recipe_filter(name, function(recipe, player))`
+
+Removes all recipe filters and adds a new one.
+
+#### `craftguide.get_recipe_filters()`
+
+Returns a map of recipe filters, indexed by name.
+
+### Miscellaneous

+#### `craftguide.show(player_name, item, show_usages)`
+
+Opens the Crafting Guide with the current filter applied.
