About
Just Enough Items (JEI) is a Minecraft item and recipe viewer that helps players find what items are available and how they are made or used. Its on-screen item list can be searched by name, mod, tooltip, Ore Dictionary name, or Creative Tab, with multiple terms and exclusions available to narrow results. Selecting an item opens its recipes or uses, and recipe pages can show all entries in a category and transfer ingredients into the crafting area. Optional cheat controls can grant items or remove them, while item-list editing lets players hide individual items, their sub-items, or a mod’s items.
Written from Modrinth , CurseForge and the GitHub README . How we write it
In-game changes
Changes the game's code in 4 areas, as a library other mods build on: User interfaceChanges 5 game code files in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., Game optionsChanges 2 game code files in this area: settings, key bindings and the option screens., Networking and multiplayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: connections, the server list and what is sent between your game and a server. and Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Adds 43 key bindings.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 6 files in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.79 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 25 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthA form on Modrinth where the author can declare that the project interacts with your system outside the game. It is optional.Declares no interactions with your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
Sends nothing
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 25 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthA form on Modrinth where the author can declare crash reports, usage data and advertisements. It is optional.Declares no crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its code
Claude Code is named in 6 of its 6,737 commits.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthA form on Modrinth where the author can declare AI content and AI features in the game. It is optional and most authors leave it empty.Declares no AI content and no AI features.

Known conflicts
These projects do not work together with Just Enough Items (JEI): their authors or the author of Just Enough Items (JEI) say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Just Enough Items (JEI), so you only need one.
