Just Enough Filtering (JEF)

Within JEI's search bar, the mod adds prefixes for modname, tooltip text, tags, creative tab, color and namespace:path item IDs, plus a minus prefix that excludes a token from results. JEI already offers several built-in prefixes, and JEF extends that set with an attribute filter that matches item attribute values, so a player can look for the strongest weapons, tools or armor in a modpack without reading each tooltip.

Attribute filters accept full attribute IDs such as minecraft:generic.attack_damage, or short aliases. On startup JEF builds an alias index from the runtime attribute registry and writes it to editable config files, one line per attribute in the form namespace:path=alias1,alias2. Server owners and players can add manual overrides to the Forge client config under aliases.manual, for example entity reach mapped to a short alias. Unknown attributes can be given an alias the same way, and a tooltip search operator covers any value that appears only in the tooltip text.
