Vintage Catalog Index Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the Vintage Catalog Index item list?
Open your normal inventory screen and the item list will automatically appear on the right side. You can also see the text search bar at the bottom of the screen from here.
How do I check the crafting recipe for an item?
Hover your cursor over the item in the catalog or in your inventory and press the R key. This brings up the recipe screen showing the exact ingredients and grid layout needed to make it.
How can I see what an item is used for?
Hover over the item you want to check and press the U key. The interface will open a list of every crafting, smelting, or brewing recipe that uses that item as an ingredient.
How do I search for a specific item or block?
Click the search bar at the bottom of your inventory screen and type the name of the item you are looking for. The item list on the right will filter itself as you type.
Does this mod show brewing stand and potion recipes?
Yes, it natively supports brewing stand recipes and potion combinations. Press R on a potion to see what ingredients are needed to brew it, or press U on a brewing ingredient to see what potions it makes.
How do I check furnace fuel burn times and smelting recipes?
Pressing R on a smelted item shows what raw material cooks into it in a furnace. If you press U on a fuel item, the recipe viewer will show its fuel information and detailed burn time.
Will this work with my existing Not Enough Items addons?
Yes, Vintage Catalog Index is built to run alongside classic Not Enough Items recipe handlers and plugins. You do not need to remove your existing NEI addons to view your modded recipes.
How do I get the catalog to show items from my other mods?
You do not need to configure anything manually because the mod automatically scans your game files. It discovers modded items, blocks, variants, and crafting steps on its own.
Does it support custom crafting tables from other mods?
Yes, it has native support for both standard crafting grids and modded crafting tables. Any recipe handled by compatible Not Enough Items plugins will also show up when you check recipes or uses.
Why am I seeing what the item crafts into instead of how to craft it?
You are likely pressing U instead of R while hovering over the item. Make sure to press R to view how to craft the item itself, and only use U when you want to see what recipes take that item as an ingredient.
