VastlyEnoughItems-v0.4.0.zip  1-click install

I love this game, but as an avid minecraft modder I noticed the complete lack of (an updated) mod that parallels JEI! Now I like the handbook as much as the next guy, but the menu in VEI is more convenient to me personally. I built this mod for personal use, and decided to share it with you all! 

O: Toggles the VEI menu.
R (when hovering over an item): Shows the recipe.
U (when hovering over an item): Shows the uses.
"+" button in recipe viewer: Auto places items in the crafting grid.

If anyone runs across bugs I will attempt to fix them.

You may use this in any modpack! Permission not required!

0.4.0 vastlyenoughitems
165 Jun 10th at 12:04 AM VastlyEnoughItems-v0.4.0.zip 1-click install
  • Fixed a bug where the search bar wouldnt appear on some systems.
  • Moved the search bar into a dedicated header row under the title.
  • Changed draw order so the search box renders above item slots.
  • Improved mouse wheel behavior so VEI only catches scrolling when the cursor is over the VEI browser or recipe viewer.
  • Kept normal inventory/game scrolling untouched when the cursor is outside VEI.
0.3.0 vastlyenoughitems
84 Jun 8th at 7:33 PM VastlyEnoughItems-v0.3.0.zip 1-click install
  • Improved high GUI scale handling so the VEI panel shrinks its rows/columns instead of covering too much screen.
  • Fixed dialog pushing at high GUI scales by using the VEI panel’s real rendered bounds.
  • Moved the search bar to the bottom footer so it remains clickable in fullscreen/high GUI scale.
0.2.0 vastlyenoughitems

  • @modid filters by mod/domain, like @game or @wildcraftfruit
  • #tag filters by tags/derived categories, including useful ones like #weapon, #tool, #armor, and #food
  • Mouse wheel now flips pages in both the side item browser and recipe viewer

Your mod is missing the part of the recipe that requires tools. EG. If I try to make an axle, it doesn't show the hammer and chisel.

Is VastlyEnoughItems the cause of this crash?

I don't know how feasible it is, but can you "catch" scrolling only when mouse is over VastlyEnoughItems UI?

PresidentCash, Jun 9th at 3:17 AM (modified Jun 9th at 3:22 AM)

Still not seeing the search bar, not sure if its a conflict or what.

Could you send me your logs? im not sure if there is private messaging, but my discord is @Dylan3124567! screenshots would be useful too!

I sent a friend request.  Which logs do you need specifically?  Also another thing I noticed is some things show the uses with r.  Sometimes it bugs out and u will be what r does and show the crafting menu, other times it bugs out and just opens the handbook tutorial.

A little bug, you can't have fullscreen and have your GUI 9+, you won't be able to use the search bar

Can't believe it took so long for someone to make this mod. JEI is one of the most essential mods in all of minecraft, so it makes sense it would be of value in this game

@Zaelesh: Can't believe it took so long for someone to make this mod. JEI is one of the most essential mods in all of minecraft, so it makes sense it would be of value in this game

To be fair, the vanilla handbook provides a lot of the NEI type features already.
Just not in a way that's as conveniant as NEI type mods.

 

So it does kind of make sense why it took so long.

@Zaelesh: Can't believe it took so long for someone to make this mod. JEI is one of the most essential mods in all of minecraft, so it makes sense it would be of value in this game

The whole reason i made betterhandbook was the basic missing features that jei had but the vanilla handbook already has so many issues and lag.

Also I'll have to update harmony patches any time they update it but it is another workaround. 

A completely separate gui for looking up recipes could definitely be easier to upkeep as even adding the autofill button to handbook was kind of a pain and the handbook is still not as performant as I would like.

I'd like to keep compatibility with this mod. My mod is open source if you want to check. I don't think it will have issues as long as this is focused on the custom menu.

i am completely down to work with you on compatability! I actually used your mod for the longest time. 

realistically my next things ill work on is improved modding compatability, (especially with modded benches, and ill try to work on some compatability with betterhandbook as well) and ui improvements. I should create an api so other mod authors can more cleanly integrate. Thank you for checking out my mod! everyone has been so kind.

Hiran, Jun 8th at 11:17 AM

Please add:

@ to filter items by the mod name. 
Something to specifically look for items with specific tags, like #weapon etc.
Ability to use mouse scroll to switch pages. Using these buttons is super inconvenient.

I believe that these 3 things are what this mod desperately needs.

Hiran, Jun 8th at 4:48 PM
@Dylan3124567: added :)

With these changes added its already at v1.0 state.

Thanks.
