This mod is in almost all modpacks as it is very useful for checking recipes and uses, as well as even searching for items in Chests and other GUIs. NEI modifies the existing Inventory GUI by adding an icon list of items to the right which is searchable via a text box at the bottom of the screen. NEI, or Not Enough Items, is a mod made by ChickenBones that is a successor to the popular mods TooManyItems and Recipe Book.
