Your Pack Version

2.4.0

Mod Name

NEI-Utilities

The Mod to Add

Shows the recipe that NEI has just looked at, like a browser history, in the bottom right corner of the screen

Your Reason

GTNH has a large number of complex recipes, and adding this mod will effectively ease the pain of querying them.It also has good compatibility with GTNH's NEI.

Here's the link:https://github.com/vfyjxf/NEI-Utilities

Preliminary Investigation

Aside from the occasional unexplained crash and the lack of support for simultaneous display of items from different NBTs, it performs well within the GTNH

I think integrating it into NEI itself would make more sense

[JodieRuth]

The history bar actually takes up some of the NEI display, which may not be very friendly to low-resolution players. Making it optional might be better for them.

[Rika-TH]

Low Res (1080p 🙃) can already get issues with stuff like compressed chests lol, going off that more stuff just there would prob be less than ideal (personally I don't like history view as my 2cents outside of Res issues)

[JodieRuth]

Making it a standalone mod or configurable option would be better

[Rika-TH]

Assuming not bloaty then think adding it as a default off config (and part of our NEI) with this noted in the QB and wiki would be good, could be on default IF it were shown that it didn't cause any notable interference at low Res, maybe a default smaller size for it or something like that

Using the NEI-U with the default interface size causes the NEI display to take up a large area by the history. This is not the case if the medium size is used. But there are still some people who play using the default interface size

[Rika-TH]

Could be fine to try testing it with a default conf that gives it just 1 row (assuming it's similar to that thing in Nomi) and see what some people think? (I assume something like this is workable in nightly) unless you meant UI scale, my friend needed convincing to leave large scale and I've seen a bunch of 1080 auto scale haaaa

UI scale in Chinese is "界面尺寸", which translates to English as "interface size", sorry, that's what I meant. NEI-U will take up about a third of the NEI interface that uses the larger UI scale.

[Rika-TH]

Oh, yeah that isn't good lmao
It'd probably have to be one maybe 2 lines tops. Not sure what 720p auto scale looks like for NEI space though

As far as I know, nei utilities should work the same as jei utilities.
The main reason I set it to two lines is that this feature was inspired by a mod called Nei easy search, which provides two lines of history by default, and which is largely just an incomplete GTNH port of Nei easy search.

It's now merged into NEI GTNewHorizons/NotEnoughItems#461
