Just Enough Items mod for Minecraft: All you need to know

Minecraft is a decade old but still remains the most popular sandbox game, thanks to its numerous modding options. The game's vast community has created innumerable mods, with Just Enough Items being largely popular with players.

To install and use any mod in the game, players must first have the Forge API installed. This is third-party software that allows the game to use modification.

This essentially creates a modded version of the game, which will be available in the official launcher under the version list.

Next, search for the Just Enough Items mod on the CurseForge website. This won't be difficult since the mod has over 200 million downloads from the website alone. Once the product page opens, you can head to the 'files' tab and look for the latest version of the mod. Players must check the game version they are running and download the file that is compatible with it.

Using the mod is simple. Players must open the crafting or smelting GUI from different blocks for a brand-new interface. A long list of blocks and items will be on the right-hand side of the screen. Users can hover over an item in the inventory and press 'R' to see its crafting recipe or 'U' to see its uses in crafting other items.

When browsing the list, left-click the mouse button or tap 'R' on an item to see its crafting recipe, and right-click or tap 'U' to see its uses. The list can be hidden using 'Ctrl+O.'

The most useful aspect of the mod is that players can see the crafting recipes and uses of all the items and blocks present in the game, even if they do not have them in their inventory.
