[ENHANCEMENT] jei/rei/emi support

[paperclone22]

Inform The Player

That's the point of this issue.
The player has to be informed on what all the mod is capable of through means available from the game.

Whats Needed

things I need to cover

Recipes

• Height increase the structure the book can contain
• Upgrade book with upgrade pages
• Dismantle the book
• Dye the book

Mechanics

• offhand-enderpearl tp
• what upgrade pages do
• retrieval distance, tooltips

Prospective Explanation Methods

• JEI (& REI / EMI) : search for recipes. Method commonly used/known by the community. Works for special recipe types.
• BRB : while JEI is more powerful, This is great for convenient UI visibility of vanilla style recipes in ALL workstations (not just crafting_table)
• Advancements : Community seems to have trended to using these to guide the player. I could see it being a basic outline. Wouldn't trust this to be comprehensive, only concise.
• Written Book : text only. Features: Links{url & to other pages}, Colors, Bold, Italic, Underline, strike-through. Zero dependencies. could provide a handmade feel to a comprehensive informative package. Add one to every player's inventory just like the nomad_book
• Server Message Link to Wiki : link to the wiki message on every player join

Old Notes

jei/rei/emi/brb support should fix _recipes not being searchable because they are special crafting recipes

ok so JEI doesn't support 1.20.5. BRB is highly desired but doesn't support 1.20.5. EMI is my preferred recipe searcher but I'm not sure I want to directly focus on it (should work with jei plugins). REI is Architectury based and offers best support even for 1.20.5.

All that said, I'm going to wait to add plugin support until 1.21.1. I would like to target JEI & BRB ⭐(JEI because REI & EMI both support JEI plugins)

Looks like brb doesn't have an api. I guess my smithing recipes will just work

As a very vanilla-like solution I could also add a written book to every player's inventory. The book can explain all the hard to find recipes {smithing, dyeing, Specials}. It could also explain some of the lesser-known or complex mechanics {offhand-enderpearl tp, what upgrade pages do, retrieval distance, tooltips, dismantling} and a link to the Readme page.

Only needed for special recipes:

Height
Upgrades
Dismantle
dye
...

also note: in EMI any smithing recipes can be looked up with a recipe search, but do not directly display in the smithing table ui. Same is true for vanilla recipes like diamond axe upgrade.

DONE check if JEI has this same behavior : JEI does not have a version for 1.20.5. Tests with REI do show the same behavior.

So currently no vanilla method exists for showing players smithing recipes. and JEI-like plugins some recipes on search but not within the smithing UI

[paperclone22]

• Better Recipe Books (+ Smithing Tables, Brewing Stands)
  • do I need a plugin for this ? Nope they don't seem to offer an aip
  • displays Smithing recipes within the smithing UI

TODO as a very vanilla-like solution I could also add a written book to every player's inventory. The book can explain all the hard to find recipes {smithing, dyeing, Specials}. It could also explain some of the lesser-known or complex mechanics {offhand-enderpearl tp, what upgrade pages do, retrieval distance, tooltips, dismantling} and a link to the Readme page.
