Sophisticated JEI Index
by AmicBeam
Sophisticated JEI Index lets JEI recipe transfer draw ingredients out of backpacks, not only the player inventory.
What it does
The mod gives Sophisticated Backpacks an upgrade that JEI can use. When the upgrade is installed and enabled, recipe transfer checks equipped backpacks in the order they are selected, after the player inventory. Shift-click maximum transfer and JEI complete-set behavior are both supported.
Crafting terminals from AE2, Refined Storage, Tom's Storage and Beyond Dimensions count as sources too. The search order runs from the network to the player inventory and then to enabled backpacks in sequence. Recipe filling and recipe tree quick-craft in EMI also work, and on multiplayer servers EMI has to be installed there.
Sophisticated JEI Index is a Forge and NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. It runs on the client and server, so both sides need it, and it depends on Sophisticated Backpacks and JEI. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
