Reliable EMI (REMI)
by evanbones
With Reliable EMI installed, the EMI recipe viewer gains grouped item lists, creative tabs, workstation views and tag pages for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
REMI extends the EMI recipe viewer with configurable features. Stack Grouping collapses related items in the EMI item list, so a set such as colored wools stays together. Users can add their own groups through standard JSON files, using explicit item lists, regular expressions that match naming patterns, or virtual objects such as fluids and modifiers. Each default group can be switched off in the in-game config screen or overridden with a file that sets enabled to false.
The mod also shows vanilla and modded creative tabs inside EMI, with their appearance following the active EMI theme. A workstation tab lists every valid recipe for the workstation currently open. Custom tag pages add EMI tabs for item, block, fluid and entity tags. REMI is required on the client only, and the server does not need it. It requires EMI and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL); YACL enables the in-game config screen. Files are published for 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
