Description
Visual JEI Category Editor
VJCE is an in-game visual JEI category and display recipe editor built with LDLib2. Create categories, redesign existing recipe pages, add blocks, entities and world snapshots, then export your projects and resources for a modpack.
Display and processing: edits affect client-side JEI presentation. Actual crafting, machine processing and server recipes remain controlled by the original mod or your recipe scripts. VJCE is not required on the server.
