Collapsible Groups is a client-side JEI companion mod that lets you organize the ingredient list into tidy, collapsible groups, reducing visual clutter and making it easier to find what you need.

Groups can be defined in JSON files, making them easy to ship in modpacks or bundle alongside other mods.
On NeoForge, groups can also be defined programmatically through KubeJS, including support for custom ingredient types and recipe viewer events.
