How to download and use the Just Enough Items mod for Minecraft 1.19

The Minecraft userbase is filled with all types of users, from regular players to developers, designers, artists and modders. Over the last few years, the game's modding community has been quite busy creating new mods and updating older ones.

Mods help “modify” a game by adding a ton of extra stuff to it, or changing features that are already present to offer players a different experience than the traditional or “vanilla” one.

The Just Enough Items mod is among the most widely used variants. Minecraft has a large number of recipes, but remembering how each of these is implemented or what their ingredients are can be quite a task for many players.

This mod can be described as a guide that players can refer to whenever they need a recipe in the game. It is described as “an item and recipe viewing mod” on the Curseforge website.
