About this Mod
Mod Introduction
This project includes code developed with AI assistance and manually reviewed by the author.
Visual Blueprint Materials is a Create add-on that parses blueprint clipboard NBT data to display a visual material list and current inventory counts on inventory, chest, AE2, and RS terminal screens. The side panel intelligently positions itself to avoid overlapping with item slots or JEI, allowing players to track requirements, toggle collected or ignored items directly into the clipboard NBT, and lock the panel to auto-open with containers. It supports JEI recipe lookups via R/U keys and requires Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.x, and Create 0.5.x or 6.x.
