Just enough recipes

Introducing two brand new mod elements to MCreator, Just Enough Recipes (JER) revolutionizing the creation of crafting stations with the JEI recipe type and JEI recipe. Now, unleash the full potential of your custom crafting stations by seamlessly integrating their recipes into Just Enough Items (JEI). 

This is a Java Plugin and therefore requires the java plugins feature to be enabled in plugin management.

How to use?

For any of this to work, you will first need to enable the JEI API in workspace settings.

You can then create a recipe type, which is a category in which all of your recipes will be displayed. Here, you can integrate the layout of your custom crafting station into JEI.

JEI renders textures in its menu at over double the size, so your textures will need to have a canvas size of 256x256. You can just change the canvas size of your regular texture like below. Texture width and height in the recipe type determines how much of this is shown.

You can then add recipes to the category using the JEI recipe element.

After doing all this, you should see your custom recipe layout in JEI when you click at the item your recipe crafts.

The recipes you create for JEI are also real minecraft recipes that can be used in your crafting table using the new procedure block introduced by the plugin.

PS: You can also get the amount of items this results in using this existing procedure block:

Item information

Thought that's all the plugin offers? Think again. Now with the JEI information mod element, you can add item information to any item.

Anvil recipes and brewing recipe integration

In addition to allowing you to integrate custom crafting layouts into JEI, this plugin will also integrate brewing recipes into JEI, which does not happen with base MCreator. This is done automatically while the Just enough items API is enabled.

It also intoduces the anvil recipe mod element, which creates a functional anvil recipe and integrates it into JEI.
