Just Enough Items (JEI) Server Hosting

Just Enough Items (JEI) is the undisputed champion of recipe viewing mods, with over 507 million downloads making it the most downloaded Minecraft mod of all time. For any modded Minecraft server, JEI isn't just recommended - it's absolutely essential for players to navigate the thousands of items and recipes that mods add to the game.

Why Every Modded Server Needs JEI

When you host a modded Minecraft server, your players will encounter hundreds or even thousands of new items, blocks, and crafting recipes. Without JEI, they would have to constantly alt-tab to wikis or guess at recipes, creating a frustrating experience that drives players away. JEI solves this completely by providing an intuitive, searchable interface directly in-game.

How JEI Works on Your Server

JEI displays a searchable item list on the right side of the inventory screen. Players can click any item to see its crafting recipe, or right-click to see what recipes use that item as an ingredient. The search bar supports advanced filters like @modname to show items from specific mods, making it easy to explore new content.

Server Performance Impact

JEI is remarkably lightweight despite its comprehensive functionality. It adds virtually no server-side overhead since all recipe lookups happen client-side. This means you can include JEI in any modpack without worrying about increased RAM or CPU requirements on your dedicated server.

Integration with Other Mods

JEI automatically integrates with virtually every mod that adds recipes. Whether you're hosting a tech-focused server with Applied Energistics 2 and Mekanism, or a magic server with Botania and Ars Nouveau, JEI will display all recipes seamlessly. Many mods also add special JEI integration panels for their unique crafting systems.

Essential Features for Players

The bookmark system lets players save frequently-used recipes, the recipe transfer feature can auto-fill crafting grids, and the cheat mode (for creative servers) allows spawning items directly. These features make JEI indispensable for both survival and creative modded servers.

Server Hosting Recommendation

Include JEI in every modded server you host. It requires minimal resources and dramatically improves player experience. We pre-install JEI in our one-click modpack installations.
