JEI-Left Overlay

by LassMeineSteine

JEI-Left Overlay moves the Just Enough Items ingredient overlay from the right side of the screen to the left, for players whose other interfaces collide with JEI's default position.

What it does

Just Enough Items (JEI) shows its item and recipe overlay on the right edge of the screen by default. JEI-Left Overlay repositions that overlay to the left side, so the panel no longer sits on top of menus or HUD elements added by other mods. Recipes stay readable and the search and browsing controls keep their function in the new position.

The mod is a client-side tool for Fabric and works alone once JEI is present, so the server does not need it and players join without installing it. It requires Just Enough Items (JEI) and is available for 1.21.11 only, with version 0.1.0 as the current file. The code is under a custom license and is not open source.

The mod uses a simple setting rather than a configuration file, so no complex setup is involved. Players who build customized interfaces and find that the default layout clutters the screen can use it to keep item browsing and recipe lookup separate from other panels.

Key features

  1. Left-side overlay

    The JEI item overlay is drawn on the left side of the screen instead of the right.

  2. Less overlap with other interfaces

    Mod screens and HUD elements that clash with JEI's default placement can be read without the overlay covering them.

  3. Cleaner browsing

    Moving the panel reduces screen clutter, so items and recipes are easier to find and read.

  4. Simple effect

    The mod changes only the overlay position and needs no extra setup beyond the standard JEI installation.
