Installation

EMI++ is available for both Fabric and Forge.

Configuration

EMI++ offers basic configuration options. You can access the configuration screen through the standard mod menu config integration or in-game EMI settings.

The compiled jar files will be located in the fabric/build/libs and forge/build/libs directories.

Custom Stack Groups

You can define new custom stack groups using either JSON configuration files or KubeJS scripts.

Method 1: JSON Configuration

This is the standard method for adding stack groups without additional mods.

1. Locate the Config Folder: Navigate to your Minecraft instance's config folder and find the directory: config/emixx/groups/ (If the groups folder doesn't exist, create it).
2. Create a JSON File: Create a new .json file in this folder (e.g., my_custom_group.json). The filename does not strictly matter, but it is good practice to match it to your group ID.
3. Define the Group: The JSON object must contain an id and a list of contents.

• id: A unique string identifier (e.g., "mypack:currency").
• contents: A list of ingredients to include. These can be item IDs (e.g., "minecraft:diamond") or tags (e.g., "#minecraft:logs").
• exclusions (optional): A list of ingredients to remove from the group if they were included by the contents (useful when using broad tags).

Example config/emixx/groups/shiny_things.json:

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

Method 2: KubeJS

If you have KubeJS installed, you can register groups programmatically.

1. Create a Script: Create a script file in your kubejs/client_scripts/ folder (e.g., emi_groups.js).
2. Register the Event: Use the EmiPlusPlusEvents.registerGroups event.
3. Add Groups: Call event.register("id", ingredient) to add a group. The ingredient can be an item ID, a tag, or other valid KubeJS ingredient parsables.

Example kubejs/client_scripts/emi_groups.js:

EmiPlusPlusEvents.registerGroups(event => {
    // Create a group from a Tag
    event.register("mypack:all_logs", "#minecraft:logs")

    // Create a group for a specific item
    event.register("mypack:command_blocks", "minecraft:command_block")
})

Notes

• You may need to restart the game to see changes.
• You can disable specific groups (default or custom) in the main emixx-common.toml config file under disabledStackGroups.
