Just Enough Resources (JER)
With Just Enough Resources installed, the item pages in its interface show where each item comes from, including mob drops, chest loot, villager trades and plant drops.
What it does
The mod is an addon to a recipe and item viewer. It adds a set of info pages that list how items can be obtained in the world: which mobs drop them, which dungeon chests hold them, which villager trades offer them, and which plants or seeds yield them. Enchantment details and world generation data are also shown in the same interface.
Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install it and players on a server can add it on their own. It targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 20 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the viewer it extends must be present for it to work. The code is under a custom license, and the source code and issue tracker are publicly linked, although the project is not open source.
