Aspect Integration

The mod introduces a virtual item for every Aspect in Thaumcraft (both Primal and Compound). These appear in the NEI item list and allow for deep cross-referencing.

  • Recipe Lookup (R): Pressing 'R' on an Aspect item shows its composition. For Primal Aspects, it shows no recipe; for Compound Aspects, it shows the two parent Aspects required to create it.
  • Usage Lookup (U): Pressing 'U' on an Aspect item displays every scanned item in the game that contains that specific Aspect.
  • Pagination: If an Aspect is found in a large number of items, the plugin automatically generates multiple pages in NEI to prevent UI overflow.

Controls and Shortcuts

The plugin adds several quality-of-life shortcuts to speed up the magical crafting process:

  • Shift-Click [?]: In the Arcane Workbench, holding Shift while clicking the [?] button in NEI will automatically move items from the player's inventory into the workbench grid. This works for both Thaumcraft-specific arcane recipes and standard vanilla recipes crafted on the workbench.
  • Aspect Navigation: While viewing any Thaumcraft recipe, players can click on the Aspect icons (such as those required for a Crucible recipe) to immediately jump to that Aspect's Recipe or Usage page.
  • Recipe Category Hopping: Clicking the text header of a recipe (e.g., "Crucible Recipe") will show a list of all recipes belonging to that specific crafting category.

Creative Mode Features

For players in Creative Mode, the Aspect items serve an additional functional purpose:

  • Research Points: Right-clicking an Aspect item while in Creative Mode will grant the player one research point for that specific Aspect. This is useful for testing or bypassing the research mini-game in a sandbox environment.
