Just Enough Fishing (JEF)
by Yakman_123
Just Enough Fishing, or JEF, shows what can be caught from fishing loot tables inside the JEI item viewer, and it needs Just Enough Items (JEI) to run.
What it does
JEF adds fishing loot tables to Just Enough Items, so a player can open JEI and look up which fish and items a fishing rod can produce. Fishing information is reached by pressing the JEI Uses key, which is U by default, while the cursor is over a fishing rod. Pressing the JEI Recipe key, which is R by default, over a fishable item opens the sources it can be fished from.
When Aquaculture is installed, its fishing rods in iron, gold, diamond and neptunium are listed as well. Vanilla fishables and Aquaculture 2 fishables are kept in separate categories, with the Aquaculture 2 entries sorted by their respective biomes. Hovering over some fishables or items in the GUI shows extra information about them, and the loot is grouped into several categories to make browsing easier.
