REI Collapsible Entries
If you have ever scrolled through Roughly Enough Items and felt like you were drowning in a wall of icons, REI Collapsible Entries is the add-on you have been waiting for. This quality-of-life mod takes the chaos out of your item panel by grouping related items into neat, collapsible entries, so you can actually find what you need without endless scrolling.
What Does REI Collapsible Entries Do?
Roughly Enough Items is one of the most popular recipe and item viewers in the modded scene, but its default item list can become overwhelming once you install a few content mods. REI Collapsible Entries solves that problem by adding default quality-of-life collapsible entries that organize items into logical groups. Instead of hunting through hundreds of separate icons, you get tidy categories you can expand or collapse with a single click.
The add-on covers a huge range of vanilla item types, including:
- Fluids, spawn eggs, and banners
- Tools and armors, sorted by both material and type
- Copper block variations, terracotta, glazed terracotta, concretes, and concrete powders
- Enchanted books, arrows, paintings, and suspicious stews
- Beds, wools, carpets, buttons, and pressure plates
- Corals, coral fans, coral blocks, and their dead variants
- Skulls, heads, saplings, horse armors, and potions
On top of the vanilla groups, the mod also ships with support for several popular content mods, such as Ad Astra, Applied Energistics 2, Catwalks LLC, CC: Tweaked (ComputerCraft), Create, Farmer's Delight, Hephaestus (Tinkers' Construct), Industrial Revolution, Item Filters, Kibe, and Promenade.
Custom Tags and In-Game Configuration
One of the strongest features of REI Collapsible Entries is how configurable it is. You can define your own custom tags to appear as entries by editing the file located at /config/reicollapsibleentries.toml. A typical structure looks like this:
- customTags = [ "namespace:tag_path", "namespace:tag_path" ]
If you prefer to avoid editing files by hand, Mod Menu integration gives you a full in-game GUI for configuring tags on the fly. There is also a handy command, /reicollapsibleentries tags, which lets you query an item's tag while holding it. Clicking on any results opens a quick config screen where you can toggle that tag directly.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
REI Collapsible Entries is built for modern Minecraft releases and is designed to work alongside Roughly Enough Items on the Fabric loader, with support extending to NeoForge setups in recent versions. Because it is a lightweight add-on, it plays nicely with large modpacks and does not add unnecessary bloat to your game.
How to Install REI Collapsible Entries
Getting started is straightforward, and if you have installed mods before, you will be done in minutes. Here is how to install REI Collapsible Entries:
- Make sure you already have Roughly Enough Items installed for your Minecraft version.
- Download REI Collapsible Entries from a trusted mod hosting page that matches your loader.
- Place the mod file into your Minecraft mods folder.
- Launch the game and confirm that both REI and the add-on load correctly.
- Open your item list and start collapsing categories to your liking.
If you want an even smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles the busywork for you: it lets you add REI Collapsible Entries straight from its built-in add-on catalog and keeps it updated automatically, so you never have to worry about version mismatches again.
Why Players Love It
Quality-of-life mods rarely get the spotlight, but REI Collapsible Entries earns its place in any serious modpack. It reduces visual clutter, speeds up item searching, and gives you fine-grained control through tags and Mod Menu. Whether you are building a sprawling tech base in Create or brewing potions in a magic pack, having a clean, organized item list makes every session more enjoyable.
REI Collapsible Entries for Minecraft is small, configurable, and genuinely useful. If your REI panel has turned into an unmanageable mess, give this add-on a try and enjoy a cleaner, faster, and far more pleasant inventory experience.
