Roughly Enough Items Server Component (REI-SC)
by shedaniel
Roughly Enough Items Server Component lets servers that run the REI server networking protocol give REI clients server-specific features, such as deleting and cheating items without creative mode.
What it does
Installed on a Forge or NeoForge server, the component implements the REI server networking protocol and handles the server-specific features that REI clients request. Clients can delete items, cheat items in using NBT length, and move items, all without creative mode. The command set is limited.
The mod was intended for servers that want to keep a JEI server while allowing clients to use REI. Because it is server-side only, players join without installing it, and the server alone needs the component. Architectury API and Cloth Config API are required dependencies, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 27 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3. The latest Forge file is 14.1.786+forge for 1.20.4, released 2024-10-26, and the latest NeoForge file is 26.3.824+neoforge for 26.3, released 2026-10-07. The project was first published on 2022-06-11.
