JustEnoughGuide: The Ultimate Slimefun Guide Upgrade
If you run a Slimefun server, you already know the guide book is the heart of the experience. It is how players discover machines, magic, and everything in between. But the default guide has limits: clunky navigation, no search, and zero personalization. That is exactly where JustEnoughGuide comes in. This add-on, often shortened to JEG, rebuilds the guide from the ground up, turning it into a fast, searchable, and fully customizable encyclopedia for your server.
What Makes JustEnoughGuide Stand Out
JustEnoughGuide is not a small tweak. It is a complete overhaul of how players interact with Slimefun recipes and items. Whether you are a server admin tired of answering "how do I craft this?" or a player who wants instant answers, JEG delivers.
Powerful Search That Actually Works
- Real-Time Search (RTS): Open an anvil, type a few letters, and watch matching items appear instantly. No need to type the full name.
- Pinyin Search: For Chinese-speaking communities, search item names using pinyin for lightning-fast lookups.
- Smart Filtering: Use blacklists and ban lists to control exactly what can be searched.
- Character Mapping: Search across similar characters, so "粘黏" and "荧萤" both return the right results.
Bookmarks and Personal Collections
Players can bookmark frequently used items and access them in one click. Bookmark data is stored in each player's personal backpack, so it persists across sessions. No more digging through nested categories every time you need a reinforced plate.
Custom Layouts and Item Groups
Server owners can fully customize the guide interface through configuration files. Define your own layout using character mapping: Background (B), Back button (b), Search (S), Item Groups (G), and more. You can also create custom item groups, reorder them, or hide specific groups entirely. The result is a guide that feels tailor-made for your server.
Advanced Recipe Display
JEG goes beyond simple crafting grids. It supports recursive recipe filling, which automatically fills sub-recipes so players see the complete crafting chain. Large multi-block structure recipes are displayed clearly, and each recipe shows its crafting type. There is even recipe sharing and EMC value display for related addons.
Supported Versions and Loaders
JustEnoughGuide is built for Bukkit-based servers, including Spigot and Paper, and supports Minecraft 1.16 through 1.20. The add-on is designed to work alongside Slimefun and its many expansions, so you can keep your existing setup intact.
How to Install JustEnoughGuide
Getting started is straightforward. Here is how to install it on your server:
- Download JustEnoughGuide from the official repository or your preferred source.
- Place the plugin JAR file into your server's
pluginsfolder. - Start or restart the server to generate the configuration files.
- Edit the config to enable or disable features like pinyin search, bookmarks, and RTS.
- Restart once more to apply your changes.
All improvements apply automatically the moment players open the Slimefun guide book. If you want a faster route, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for JustEnoughGuide, so you can skip manual file handling and get straight to customizing your guide. For server admins managing multiple add-ons, the foxygame.net launcher also keeps JustEnoughGuide updated automatically, ensuring compatibility with the latest Slimefun builds without manual checks.
Configuration and Localization
The plugin ships with extensive configuration options. You can rename survival and cheat guide titles, toggle beginner options, and define every interface layout down to the character. Localization support includes Chinese translations for a large number of Slimefun addons, so items and groups display appropriate names for your community.
Performance and Modular Design
JEG uses asynchronous processing and caching to keep the experience smooth, even on busy servers. Its modular design means you can enable or disable individual features as needed. If you do not want pinyin search, turn it off. If bookmarks are not your thing, disable them. The choice is yours.
Final Thoughts
JustEnoughGuide is one of those add-ons that quietly makes everything better. It turns the Slimefun guide from a static book into a dynamic, searchable, and personal tool. For players, it means less frustration and more crafting. For admins, it means fewer support questions and a more polished server. If you are running Slimefun, download JustEnoughGuide and see the difference for yourself.
