Collapsible Groups

Features

Group Manager

Collapsible Ingredient Groups

Group related entries such as colored glass, wool, shulker boxes, fluids, and more into a single collapsible entry in JEI. Expand or collapse groups at any time, and your preferences are saved automatically.

Groups are defined using a flexible filter expression system:

Match by item ID, tag, or namespace
Intersect multiple tags for precise filtering
Navigate component paths for advanced matching
Supports item, fluid, and custom JEI ingredient types

Built-In Default Groups

Out of the box, the mod includes sensible defaults for common ingredient clutter:

Vanilla colored blocks such as glass, wool, carpet, terracotta, concrete, shulker boxes, beds, banners, candles, and more
Generic fluid and other ingredient groups

Chipped Group
