Your in-game recipe and item reference

EMI (Enough Items) is the quickest way to look up the actual crafting and acquisition routes available in PotA. This is especially useful because recipes and progression have been tailored for this pack. Do not assume an item follows its original mod's recipe.

Use the item search to find an ingredient, piece of equipment or workstation, then inspect the recipe or usage view for the answer relevant to your installed pack version.

Finding recipes and ingredients

  1. Open your inventory and use the EMI search field to locate the item you want.
  2. Open its recipe view to see the ingredients and crafting method where a recipe is available.
  3. Open the usages view on an ingredient to see what it can help produce.
  4. Check the processing station: some items are cooked, smithed, brewed or handled by a specialised table rather than crafted on a normal grid.

Where items come from

EMI and its supported integrations can expose recipe ingredients, item usages and some acquisition information. Where a loot or drop source is shown, use it to plan your journey. Not every mob drop or structure-chest reward is necessarily visible through EMI; use the Loot & Drop Chances guide when you need a probability reference.

Custom progression matters

PotA includes new recipes, alternate ingredients, special processing and altered upgrade paths. The best reference is the currently installed pack's in-game recipe view, because it reflects the recipes presented by that specific release. If an item cannot be crafted on a normal table, look for smithing or other processing methods before assuming it is unobtainable.
