Using Automatic Detection and Manual Item Locks

Whether you are playing an existing progression world or setting up custom rules for friends, EMI Gamestages Integration handles recipe visibility through automatic detection alongside optional manual overrides.

Relying on Automatic Detection

For normal play, you do not need to configure anything after loading into a world:

1. Enter your world with EMI and GameStages installed.

2. Open your inventory and check the EMI panel. The mod automatically finds locked items and spots locked recipes instantly without extra setup.

3. Whenever you unlock a new stage during gameplay, check EMI again to see the lock icons, colored output slot highlights, and stage labels update to match your current access.

Setting Up Manual Item Locks

If you want extra control over specific items that are not covered by your existing stage rules, you can lock them manually:

1. Close your world and open the configuration folder inside your Minecraft game folder.

2. Open the settings for EMI Gamestages Integration and locate the manual setup options.

3. Add the specific items you want to lock manually along with their required stage names.

4. Reload the game and check the EMI search panel and item tooltips to confirm the lock icon and stage text appear as expected.
