JEI Recipe History
by Christofmeg
JEI Recipe History keeps a short list of the most recent items looked up in Just Enough Items, displayed above the search bar.
What it does
Each lookup made in the JEI recipe view is stored, and the list appears above the search bar so a player can reopen an earlier recipe without typing the name again. The list is kept on the client and runs only while the player uses JEI, so no server component is involved. The row count can be set between 1 and 5, and a custom tint can be applied to the history list through the configuration file.
The feature can be switched off in the configuration, and a second option controls whether recipes looked up with NBT data are tracked as separate entries or merged. Recipes looked up with NBT data are treated as sensitive by default and are not logged unless the option is changed. The mod requires Just Enough Items (JEI) and is published for Forge 1.18.2 only, with 1.1.2-jei-9 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
The JEI Utilities fork ports the recipe history feature to newer Minecraft versions, so players on later releases can use the same behavior through that project instead.
