Roughly Enough Items Mod (1.21.5, 1.20.1) – Powerful Recipe Viewer & JEI Alternative for Minecraft

Roughly Enough Items Mod (REI) for Minecraft (1.21.5, 1.20.1) is a versatile and performance-friendly recipe viewer designed as a modern alternative to the classic Just Enough Items (JEI) mod. REI provides players with the ability to search, view, and interact with crafting recipes from both vanilla Minecraft and any installed mods. Whether you’re learning how to craft an item or just browsing your modded world’s possibilities, this mod streamlines the entire process through a responsive and user-friendly interface.

One of REI’s strengths lies in its compatibility and customization. It supports both Fabric and Forge (including NeoForge and Quilt), and provides in-game tools like bookmarks, advanced filters, and recipe exports. On-screen controls also allow players to toggle cheat mode (useful in creative testing) and adjust extensive configuration settings. With real-time search, plugin support, and seamless integration, REI has become an essential utility mod for both casual players and modpack creators alike.
