Overview

Just Enough Resources is a utility mod created by way2muchnoise. A JEI addon that adds world generation info, mob drop tables, villager trades, and dungeon loot tables to the recipe viewer. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 35 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Just Enough Resources is built for players who want JEI to surface even more recipe information. It adds extra JEI tooltips and integration details, such as showing additional recipe and item metadata in the interface. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.

The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It is a client-side mod, which means you can add it to your own game for personal benefit even when the server you join does not run it.

How to install Just Enough Resources

Just Enough Resources supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.

  1. 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1 and 1.21.1).
  2. 2Download the required dependency for the same version and loader: Just Enough Items. Just Enough Resources will not load without it.
  3. 3Drop the Just Enough Resources .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and each player who wants it adds it to their own client.
  4. 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Just Enough Resources appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and the dependencies above.

Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Compatibility & alternatives

Just Enough Resources works particularly well alongside Just Enough Items. It depends on Just Enough Items, so those must be present and on the same loader and version. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

Just Enough Resources has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.

If you are comparing options, a similar mod worth a look is (extends JEI specifically). They overlap in purpose, so most players pick whichever suits their loader and pack.
