EMI++ Forked

EMI++ is a Minecraft mod that acts as an extension to EMI, adding a variety of useful features, improvements, and customization options to enhance the EMI experience.

Features

EMI++ provides the following enhancements:

• Stack Grouping: Cleans up the EMI item list by grouping related items together (e.g., keeping all colored wools in one expandable entry).
  • Includes built-in groups for: Animal Armor, Banner Patterns, Copper Blocks, Infested Blocks, Minecarts, Pressure Plates, Spawn Eggs, and more.
• Creative Mode Tabs: Displays vanilla and modded Creative Mode tabs directly within the EMI interface for easy browsing.
• Item Tabs: Improved navigation with Creative Mode-style item tabs.
• Vanilla/Modern Theme: A unique visual theme for the sidebar, depending on the EMI theme.

Dependencies

Fabric:

• Fabric Loader
• Fabric Language Kotlin
• EMI

(Neo)Forge:

Configuration

EMI++ offers extensive configuration options to tailor the interface to your needs. You can configure the mod via the in-game config screen or by editing the configuration file directly.

In-Game Config

1. Open the EMI overlay.
2. Click the Config (gear) icon.
3. Scroll down to the EMI++ section.
4. From here you can toggle features and access sub-menus (such as the "Manage" button for Creative Mode Tabs).

File Config

The configuration file is located at config/emixx/emixx-common.toml.

Creative Mode Tabs Settings

Controls the display and behavior of the creative tabs sidebar.

Option	Type	Default	Description
enableCreativeModeTabs	Boolean	true	Master switch to enable or disable the creative mode tab sidebar entirely.
syncSelectedCreativeModeTab	Boolean	true	If enabled, clicking a tab in EMI++ will attempt to open that tab in the actual Creative Inventory screen (if open).
disabledCreativeModeTabs	List	["minecraft:op_blocks"]	A list of tabs that should be hidden from the EMI++ interface.

Stack Groups Settings

Controls the item grouping behavior.

Option	Type	Default	Description
enableStackGroups	Boolean	true	Master switch to enable or disable stack grouping. If disabled, all items will appear individually in the list.

Customizing Stack Groups

You can define new custom stack groups or modify existing ones using JSON files (via Resource Packs).

JSON Configuration (Resource Packs)

EMI++ loads stack groups from the stack_groups directory within the assets of the game (loaded via Resource Packs).

To create a custom group, create a JSON file in assets/<namespace>/stack_groups/my_group.json.

JSON Structure:

Field	Type	Description
id	String	A unique identifier (e.g., "mypack:currency").
name	String (Optional)	A translatable translation key for the group's name (e.g., "mypack.group.currency").
type	String	Usually "emixx:group" for standard item lists. Can also be emixx:tag.
enabled	Boolean	Set to false to disable this group.
contents	List	A list of items or tags to include.
exclusions	List	(Optional) Items to remove from the group (useful when using broad tags).

Example: Creating a shiny things group

{
  "id": "mypack:shiny_things",
  "type": "emixx:group",
  "contents": [
    "minecraft:diamond",
    "minecraft:emerald",
    "minecraft:gold_ingot",
    "#c:glass_blocks"
  ],
  "exclusions": [
    "minecraft:purple_stained_glass"
  ]
}

Virtual Objects (Fluids, Modifiers, etc.):

EMI++ supports grouping non-item objects such as Fluids, Tinkers' Construct Modifiers, or JEED effects. To do this, prefix the entry with its EMI registry type using the format <type>:<namespace>:<path>.

Example: Creating a special group

{
  "id": "mypack:basic_fluids",
  "name": "mypack.stack_group.basic_fluids",
  "type": "emixx:group",
  "contents": [
    "fluid:minecraft:water",
    "fluid:minecraft:lava",
    "jeed:effect:minecraft:speed"
  ]
}

Disabling Default Groups: To disable a default stack group (e.g., spawn eggs), you must override its definition using a Resource Pack. Create a file with the same path/ID as the default group and set "enabled": false.

Example: Disabling the spawn eggs group

File: assets/emixx/stack_groups/spawn_eggs.json

{
  "enabled": false
}
