Ever opened a modded crafting table only to find JEI's item list plastered right on top of it? JEI Area Fixer Mod solves that frustrating overlap by intelligently adjusting JEI's display boundaries to respect other modded GUI elements. Built specifically for heavily modded 1.12.2 packs where dozens of custom interfaces compete for screen space, this small utility mod ensures JEI stays where it belongs — off to the side, out of your way.
Key Features
- GUI Overlap Prevention — Automatically adjusts JEI's display area so it no longer covers modded GUIs, crafting interfaces, or custom inventory screens.
- Cleaner Recipe Layouts — Fixes misaligned recipe descriptions and item names within JEI, making everything easier to read at a glance.
- Modpack Friendly — Designed to handle large modpacks that add hundreds or thousands of items to JEI without breaking the interface layout.
- Drop-In Installation — Works with your existing JEI setup with no configuration needed. Install it and the fixes apply automatically.
