About this project
What does retroEMI Forge add?
retroEMI Forge
An unofficial port of EMI to 1.7.10 Forge and 1.12.2 Forge/Cleanroom
EMI is a featureful and accessible item and recipe viewer. It brings many new features, and optimizes for the user experience. Now, you only need to install UniMixins (MixinBooter) and GTNH Lib additionally to enjoy EMI on 1.7.10/1.12.2 Forge.
Runtime NEIU / JEI / HEI Compat
Nemi and Jemi are compatibility layers used for synchronizing recipes, obtaining screen exclusion area, and proxying drag-and-drop operations, among other things.
However, the NEI/JEI plugins made by developers are not necessarily standard-compliant. Nemi/Jemi are difficult to predict and may encounter conversion failures.
When facing conversion issues, the best solution is to write a plugin that implements EmiPlugin, rather than denouncing retroEMI Forge as absolute garbage.
Nemi
Does not support NEI; only supports NEI-Unofficial (GTNH-NEI).
Note: This does not mean GTNH is fully supported yet. There are still many issues with GTNH at present—please use with caution.
Jemi
Supports both JEI and HEI.
Does not support NEI when it runs as a JEI addon, due to screen conflicts.
About this fork
- This fork strives to remain as consistent as possible with the original project, except for removing content that does not exist in Minecraft 1.7.10/1.12.2 (such as compost, blast furnace recipes, etc.).
- Parent Fork
- Since EMI relies on fastutil and Mixin, you must install GTNH Lib(1.12.2 no need) and UniMixins/MixinBooter.
- Not yet compatible with other mods; please write plugins for them.
What does EMI bring to the table?
Of course EMI comes with every feature you'd come to expect from the outset, viewing recipes, favoriting items, searching, and the like. But what's new that EMI offers?
- A craftable mode for quickly crafting any recipes you're able to make, usable by toggle or as a config for empty searches
- Recipes can be favorited with items, and also can be used to quickly craft at a button press
- A recipe tree for breaking down the cost of a complex craft, showing you every step, how many base ingredients you need, and what you'll have leftover
- A recipe tree crafting mode, counting up the materials and steps you need to be complete to finish a task, including synthetic favorites in your sidebar you can use to craft every step for exactly as much as you need
- Smart display of tags, with translations, models, and tooltips, showing you ingredients at a glance, such as "Planks" instead of slowly rotating through every plank in the game.
- Smart breakdowns of base costs, letting recipe trees automatically break down to base ingredients, and letting you define your own defaults as you play
- Tooltips for recipes, tags, and ingredients showing you what will be crafted, and what makes up an ingredient
- Binds for quick crafting straight into your inventory or cursor, one or many at a time, in conjunction with recipes favorites or the craftable mode
- A clean and modern API, built from the ground up to be simple, powerful, and suit all of EMI's features
