EMI JEI Grid Fix
by viribus
EMI JEI Grid Fix corrects how EMI draws recipes from JEI plugins that place their slots in a scrolling grid widget.
What it does
Mods that include a JEI plugin without an EMI plugin can still appear in EMI, since EMI reads those JEI plugins through its own JEI compatibility layer. In that path, a scrolling grid widget was handed to EMI as if its slots had fixed coordinates, so every slot landed at 0, 0 and the outputs were drawn stacked in the top-left corner over the input slots. The BenBenLaw's Strainers drop table, a 5×3 scrolling grid, was the case most players would see, where the entire drop table piled up in one spot. This mod intercepts the call that asks where a grid should be placed and how wide it is, then puts each slot in the same cell JEI's own grid widget uses.
The fix applies only to recipes that go through the JEI plugin path. EMI panels keep scrolling recipes with more outputs instead of running past the bottom of the panel, and Strainer recipes fit as the author intended. Nothing else changes, and no new configuration screen or recipe is added. The mod requires EMI and Just Enough Items (JEI) and is published for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1 only.
Key features
Grid slot placement
Slots from a JEI scrolling grid are positioned in the same cells JEI would use, not stacked at 0, 0.
Strainer drop tables
Drop tables from BenBenLaw's Strainers display in their 5×3 grid, with each output in its own cell.
Recipe panel scrolling
Recipes with many outputs scroll inside the EMI panel rather than running past its bottom edge.
No other changes
Recipe content, screens and configuration are left as they were, and only the grid placement of JEI-plugin recipes is altered.

How it compares
JEI++-- is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is not open source and is released under the MIT License; it is client-side only. Cobblemon EMI is open source under the MIT License, works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, and is client-side only, so it serves a different purpose than grid placement. Inventory Crafting Stick (Standalone) is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is client and server, so both sides need it.

What the author says
Some mods ship a JEI plugin but no EMI plugin, and EMI shows those recipes anyway by reading the JEI plugin through its built-in compatibility layer. That mostly works — except for recipes whose slots are placed by a scrolling grid widget instead of by fixed coordinates. Those slots all end up drawn in the top-left…
