Discover (JEI Edition)

Just Enough Items normally lists every item from the start, which the author argues takes away the surprise of a new modpack. Discover keeps those entries hidden until the player has actually come across them in the world, so a new biome, a rare ore or an unfamiliar machine can still be a discovery.

The author says larger modpacks with a long item list can put off casual players, who may read a long list of pages before they play. Discover is meant to keep the early game closer to exploration. Items that have not been discovered still show a texture and an obfuscated name of the same length, and their tooltips say only that they are unknown, with hints about what the texture suggests. Discovery state is saved with the world's data in the game directory.

The mod requires Just Enough Items (JEI) and runs on the client only. The license is custom and the project is not open source.
