NEI, or Not Enough Items, is a mod made by ChickenBones that is a successor to the popular mods TooManyItems and Recipe Book. NEI modifies the existing Inventory GUI by adding an icon list of items to the right which is searchable via a text box at the bottom of the screen. This mod is in almost all modpacks as it is very useful for checking recipes and uses, as well as even searching for items in Chests and other GUIs. Available addons for NEI include WAILA, NEI Addons, and NEI Plugins.
Using NEI
In NEI, to search items that are in the game, click the box at the bottom of the screen when you open an inventory (Chest, Crafting Table, Inventory, etc.). To check how to make a item or block, search it, then hover over it and click "R" for Recipe; to see what you can make with it press "U" for Utility. To search an item in a chest click the search box twice. It should now have a golden outline. Enter the item you want to look for, then open the chest that you want to search in and it will make everything grey except for that item. Double click the box again to make the search mode go away.
Tools
Dumps
In your inventory, in the left-bottom corner is an Options button. Clicking it, and then clicking Tools, and then Data Dumps will give a GUI that allows dumping of Item, Block, Potion, Enchantment and Biome IDs, as well as Item/Block textures. This will dump them into your minecraft folder, under the folder "dumps".
