EMI Plus Plus Forked Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on stack grouping?
Open your EMI settings (usually by pressing a key while viewing EMI), find the Stack Grouping option, and toggle it on. Your item list will immediately group similar items like colored wools or spawn eggs into expandable entries.
Why are my items still not grouped even though I enabled stack grouping?
Stack grouping only works for items the mod recognizes as similar—like variants of the same block or related tools. Items from other mods may not group unless they follow standard naming or type conventions that EMI Plus Plus can detect.
Can I switch between different sidebar styles?
Yes, go into the mod's configuration menu and look for the sidebar theme or visual style option. You can choose between a classic vanilla look or a modern theme depending on your preference.
How do I make EMI sync with my Creative Inventory?
In the EMI Plus Plus settings, enable the 'Sync with Creative Inventory' option. Once turned on, the tabs and organization in EMI will match what you see when you open your actual Creative Mode inventory.
Do the creative mode tabs show up automatically or do I need to enable them?
The creative mode tabs are shown by default inside the EMI menu, but you can toggle the creative mode tab sidebar on or off completely in the configuration settings if you prefer a cleaner look.
What types of items get grouped automatically?
The mod automatically groups related items like animal armor variants, banner patterns, copper block variants, and different minecart types without requiring any manual setup.
Can I expand a grouped stack to see all the items inside?
Yes, click on any grouped stack entry and it will expand to show all the individual items contained in that group, then click again to collapse it.
Does this mod work with other item organization mods?
EMI Plus Plus is built as an extension of EMI, so it works best when used alongside EMI. Compatibility with other item organization mods depends on how they modify the same systems—check mod documentation or community reports for specific combinations.
Will stack grouping slow down my game?
Stack grouping is designed to improve performance by reducing the number of entries your client needs to render, so it should not cause lag and may even help on lower-end systems.
How do I find a specific item if I don't know which tab it's in?
Use the search bar in EMI to type the item name—the search will filter across all tabs and groups, and you can click on the result to see which category it belongs to.
