Collapsible Groups

Collapsible Groups is a client-side JEI companion mod that lets you organize the ingredient list into tidy, collapsible groups, reducing visual clutter and making it easier to find what you need.

Whether you are a player who wants a cleaner JEI, a modpack developer building a curated experience, or a modder shipping your own default groups, Collapsible Groups gives you flexible tools to keep large ingredient lists under control.

Features

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.

Powerful Filter System

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

Built-In Mod Integrations

Collapsible Groups can also load built-in default group providers for supported mods, helping large content mods stay organized with minimal setup.

Examples include Chipped, Chisel Modern, Rechiseled, Refined Storage 2, AE2, and more on supported loaders.

Each integration can be toggled individually in the config.

In-Game Group Editor

Create and manage your own groups without leaving the game. The built-in editor lets you:

• Search and filter ingredients to quickly build and maintain groups
• Set group display names
• Enable or disable groups individually

JSON Config Support

Groups can be defined in JSON files, making them easy to ship in modpacks or bundle alongside other mods.

KubeJS Scripting Support

On NeoForge, groups can also be defined programmatically through KubeJS, including support for custom ingredient types and recipe viewer events.
