Refined Storage has an optional integration mod for Just Enough Items (JEI), enhancing crafting and recipe interaction.

Recipe transferring in the Crafting Grid

You can transfer recipes from JEI directly into the Crafting Grid.

Missing ingredients? The transfer will still place what you have.
If autocrafting is available for missing ingredients, you can start autocrafting tasks from the preview.

Recipe transferring in the Pattern Grid

Recipes from JEI can also be transferred into the Pattern Grid. The interface will show which ingredients are autocraftable.

You can use the R and U keys on the Grid and filter slots to view recipes and usages respectively.

You can sync the search box between JEI and the Grid:

You can drag any type of ingredient from JEI to filter slots in Refined Storage.

JEI elements automatically reposition to avoid overlapping Refined Storage GUI components.
