A Modern JEI plugin tutorial

[skip999]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a tutorial on how to write a JEI plugin for 1.16.4. I have done some digging and have found some for 1.12.2, but I can't find any for the modern versions of the game. I have also tried following the instructions on wiki the mod provides, but I really struggle to follow them. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you looked at their Wiki?

I have, however the examples they suggest to follow are either super complex or not updated past 1.12.2. I just need a simple example to follow and I can go from there. However, I can't seem to find one.

What are you having trouble with specifically?

I am struggling with how I implement the methods. I have tried following the examples they recommend that are updated, but they list mods like Botania and Blood Magic. I see generally what I need to do, but for me its like trying to reverse engineer a combustion engine to make a campfire.

 

It also doesn't help that everyone has a different way of implementing the plugin. So on top of everything I don't even know what is the best way to approach making the plugin.

You can take a look here: https://github.com/Beethoven92/BetterEndForge/tree/master/src/main/java/mod/beethoven92/betterendforge/common/integration/jei

I have a very simple implementation needed to show informations for custom recipes

Another thing I have noticed is that half of the classes that I need to import to make the plugin work are not there. I know that it is not an issue with the gradle as I have done that right.

Thanks Ill take a look.

If you need further help PLEASE be more specific. "I am struggling with how I implement the methods" makes it sound like you're not understanding basic Java

Okay so I have put together something and it seems to work. However, I seem to be having an issue with the gui. I followed your plugin implementation as best I could, and I have wound up with the cursed image I have attached. The items are showing up where I want them to be, however I cannot seem to get the background to work. I have linked to the relevant files on my github. The only thing I can think of is that there is an issue with the size of the image that I am not considering.

Jei seems to like images that are 256x256, you can see how i set up the images for jei usage in the link i posted above. May not be the best way to do this though. I made the images 256x256 keeping the actual gui image starting at (0, 0) for easier handling of coordinates
