New update: Alpha 0.5.0

Readded all recipe handlers that were disabled in previous versionsAdded support for the Ent Jar and the MillstoneImproved the performance of the addonAdded a config option to disable the vanilla brewing recipe handlerAdded config options for every recipe handler Download and changelog: https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/wip-mods/2563743-1-7-10-nei-plugin-for-the-lord-of-the-rings-mod?page=4 Some words to the performance improvements: As most of you noticed, the addon delays the startup time of Minecraft for - depending of your machine - a longer or shorter time. This is because of the alloy forge recipes, which have to be computed in a way that is slower than other recipe computations (if you want to know more details, just ask). There are some ways to make this faster, and I did some of these optimizations (and there are some I will try out), but even with these the computation takes too long. So I introduced a "recipe cache" which stores these computed recipes, so that they don't have to be computed every time the game starts. This works as long as no mods that add/remove items are added/removed, otherwise the cache has to be refreshed, and the computation has to be done again. So in conclusion, the expensive computations on startup will be done only when necessary, so most times the addon doesn't take long to start. This feature is experimental, and has to be tested. This is why the addon is still in the Alpha stage.

Remember that the addon is still on the Alpha stage, so bugs and crashes are more or less likely. Also there were changes with the configuration file - I suggest you to delete the current config file so the addon can recreate it.
