Not Enough Items

Not Enough Items (NEI) adds the search bar at the bottom of the inventory screen, and a list of matching items on the right while the inventory is open. It is the primary recipe and item usage encyclopedia for crafting. GT:NH's version of NEI has numerous alterations and upgrades from the standard 1.7.10 version to improve the modpack experience and handle the vast quantities of recipes required for this pack. Multiple categories of recipes are hidden by default, including many Tinker's Construct parts, covers, and microblocks to improve performance and usability.

Items in the Quest Book can be bookmarked or recipe checked directly with NEI shortcuts. Keybinds for NEI can be modified by opening the inventory, clicking on the wrench button (NEI Configs) in the lower left, then Keybindings > Inventory.

Items Panel
The Item Panel is the heart of NEI, consisting of the main Item Pages, Item Page Controls and Stack Controls. Which items are displayed is controlled by the Search Bar. By default, when no text is present in the search bar all available items are shown. The total number of pages is displayed at the top of the Item Panel, and the [<] and [>] buttons will go to the previous or next pages. Clicking on an item will either show the item's recipe (Recipe Mode), give the player that item (Cheat Mode), or either option as configured for Utility Mode. The Stack Controls at the bottom of the item panel are only active when spawning items, and will adjust the default number given on left-click. Right-click will always give one item.

Bookmarks Panel
The Bookmarks panel is a convenient place to store and organize groups of items for quick reference and easier crafting. Bookmarks can added with (default A) and be placed into any number of pages. Hold down Shift and then drag a bookmarked item to rearrange the list. Pressing (default A) again while hovering over a bookmark removes it.

Click on the "(x/y) [#]" at the top left to toggle the bookmarked item display between full page and single column. Click on the arrows at the bottom left to go to different pages/tabs of bookmarks. The number in brackets shows the current page and total number of bookmark pages. The arrows at the top of the bookmarks panel are only usable if the current number of bookmarks exceeds the amount of space in the GUI. If the View Mode says (1/1), there are no additional bookmarks to view in this tab and the top arrows will do nothing. The number in square brackets is the total count of bookmarks in this tab/page.

Bookmarks are stored in. This text file can be opened and altered to change NBT data of bookmarked items, rearrange pages, or used to backup important tools or collections. Of particular note is that ModdedNetwork Backpacks do not store their data directly and thus are not editable via NEI's bookmark file. JABBA dollies do work with this method. Bookmarks are global by default and thus can be used to move items between worlds for testing purposes or recovery.

Visibility of the Bookmarks Panel can be toggled with the book button in the lower right corner, or by (default B) keybind.

Search Bar
The search bar (center, bottom) allows for quick filtering when looking for specific items. NEI's search will find matching item names, tooltips, source mods, and metadata. Search supports Regex, and can be used to restrict searches to a particular mod or item type. Right-click the search bar to clear text, double-click to toggle Highlight Items.

Navigating Search Results
Search results are broken down first by source, which are displayed as tabs across the top of the window if JEI Style Tabs is enabled (NEI Config > Inventory) and the top listing, and then by individual recipes. Multiple pages can be scrolled through with the mouse wheel, assigned keybinds, or by clicking the left/right arrows.

Any item shown can be further searched by using left-click/(default R) and right-click/(default U) to see its recipe and uses. Go back to previous searches with the (default Backspace) keybind.

When viewing a recipe that is made in a GregTech Machine, all versions of that machine will be shown in a column to the right, regardless if they can make the item or not. Right-clicking a machine will show all its recipes, starting on the page for the current item if possible. This opens a similar recipe list to clicking the progress bar in most machines, which will show their available recipes as well.

To see the temperature of fluids, press (default U) to see uses, find a GregTech Machine tab that uses that fluid, and hover over it for a Temperature tooltip.

Highlight Items
Double-click the Search Bar to turn the outline yellow, activating Highlight (in any mode). This will dim all GUIs and highlight any matching items, which can be useful to find a specific ingot or dust in a large inventory or a lost tool. Double-click the Search Bar again to remove the highlighting. Highlight Mode works with Holo Glasses, showing only items that match the search text while active.

NEI also has a inventory search feature (default T). Press the keybind while hovering over an item to have nearby inventories marked with a purple smoke effect if they contain a matching item, and will temporarily have a bright orange background if the inventory is opened. This will not search nested inventories, such as backpacks.

Crafting
NEI can populate crafting grids when opened from a crafting compatible interface, such as a Crafting Station or Worktable. A [?] icon will show next to the recipe. Hovering over the button shows a green checkmark for items that are available, and a red X for items that are missing. Clicking on the [?] button places ghost items in the crafting grid. Shift-clicking the [?] button will place actual items from available inventories. Shift-click the output to craft as many as possible, or right-click to craft up to one stack which will be held.

Utility Buttons
The Utility Buttons are only available in Utility and Cheat Modes.
 * Delete - toggles one-click delete for removing items more easily.
 * Rain - Toggles rain off/on. Right-click to disable rain, left-click to enable rain again.
 * Gamemode - cycle between Creative, Creative+, Adventure and Survival modes. Individual modes other than Survival can be turned off from NEI Config.
 * Time - Allows the player to set the game time to dawn (half sun icon), noon (full sun icon), dusk (half cresent moon icon) or midnight (full crescent moon icon). Right-clicking disables and left-click enables any time period. Up to three of the four time periods can be disabled, and the game will skip past those times of day.
 * Heal - heal the player to full HP and full hunger/saturation.

NEI Config/Options
This menu offers all the optional controls, toggles and keybinds that affect NEI. Unlike most mods, NEI's keybinds are not available from, but sequestered here in their own section. Of particular note is the Global/World toggle button in the upper right. This changes between adjusting the default (Global) settings for NEI, and the current world's settings (World). If changes to options are seemingly not working, check that the button says World and not Global.

Options are broken down into five sections; Inventory, World, Commands, Tools, and KeyBindings. Whenever a Back button is not offered, the ESC key will return to the previous screen. Commands and Tools are not likely to be of much interest to most players, offering functionality already available in the Utility Buttons and technical support with data dumps. Inventory has the option for disabling/enabling NEI which along with (default O) can hide the remaining NEI buttons. NEI's primary mode can be toggled here, which Utility buttons and gamemodes are available can be changed, the display order for the item panel can be adjusted, as well as numerous other alterations to NEI's overall behavior.

World > Panels Settings can be used to tweak the GUI locations of the two main panels should they conflict with other mod overlays.

Keybindings is an extensive section that offers a high degree of control over NEI's actions. Of particular note are the "R" and "U" shortcuts, which display Recipes and Uses respectively when hovering over any item. To disable NEI keybind by setting it to "NONE", right-click its box.

Item Subsets
Item Subsets is a hidden menu option that can only be accessed when the bookmarks panel is turned off (default B, or use the Toggle Bookmarks button). The drop down menu offers multiple categories of item types and traits that can be sorted with. Unlike searches, turning off subsets of items is permanent until they are re-enabled.


 * Left click enables a subset.
 * Right-click disables a subset.
 * Double-left click shows only that subset.
 * Shift-Right-Click a subset to search for it (does not change visible/hidden subsets)

Enchanting Values
Pressing the Enchanting Value keybind (default I) while hovering over an enchantable item will bring up a secondary menu showing all echants that item can accept, the level range required and how likely a given enchantment is to be picked by weighted values.

Modes
NEI has three main modes; Recipe, Utility and Cheat. The current mode can be toggled by clicking on the NEI Config button in the bottom left corner, toggling the Global/World button to World, then Inventory > Recipe/Utility/Cheat Mode. Windows users can also Command-click the Config button to cycle between modes.

Recipe Mode
This is the default and primary mode for NEI. The list of items serves as an encyclopedia, and clicking on an item will show all the ways of crafting or obtaining it. While in Recipe Mode, the NEI Config Wrench icon will be grey. Recipe mode disables all the Utility buttons and will not spawn items.

Utility Mode
A hybrid of Recipe Mode and Cheat Mode. While in Utility Mode, the NEI Config Wrench icon will be golden yellow. Individual Utilities (Time, Rain, Heal, Delete, Magnet, Enchanting, Potions, Items) can be toggled on with left-click and off with right-click from the NEI Config menu. Gamemode is always available and cannot be disabled.

Cheat Mode
A creative type mode that allows infinite items to be spawned or deleted. While in Cheat Mode, the NEI Config Wrench icon will be red. Use caution in Cheat Mode as items dropped into the bookmark or item panel spaces will be deleted. Cheat Mode allows two additional modes to be invoked for creating custom enchanted items and potions easily. The Stack Controls in the bottom right corner can be used to adjust the number of items given for left-click. Right-click always gives one item.

Enchanting Mode
The Enchanting interface can be invoked with (default X) in any inventory screen while Cheat/Utility Mode is on. Items can be placed in the slot to the left and enchantments chosen from the menu to the right. The enchantment level can be customized anywhere between 1 and 10. Unlock mode allows any items to be enchanted, while Locked restricts items to enchantments they can normally accept.

Potion Mode
The Potion interface can be invoked with (default P) in any inventory screen while Cheat/Utility Mode is on. Any potion can be placed in the slot to the left, and its effects altered in duration, level and type using the GUI controls. Potions can be given multiple effects and up to nine potions can be saved in the row of slots across the top.

Troubleshooting
Most NEI problems stem from accidentally disabling parts of the interface with keybinds. If a particular keybind is consistently causing problems, disable it in NEI Config > KeyBindings > Inventory.
