in REI there is an option to change the item menu from paginated to scrolled, i was wondering if this could become a feature in EMI?

I'm not sure if this issue is still active, but I came across it while searching and wanted to avoid creating a duplicate. So I'd like to share some of my thoughts here.

I believe this issue has evolved from a mere suggestion into a mod compatibility concern. JEI has recently introduced two new components: ScrollGridRecipeWidget and ScrollBoxRecipeWidget. ScrollGridRecipeWidget provides a scrollable display area for Ingredients, while ScrollBoxRecipeWidget is a standalone scrollable area. Additionally, the IRecipeExtrasBuilder API in JEI now includes the methods addScrollGridWidget and addScrollBoxWidget, allowing other mods to utilize these APIs to create scrollable areas in their recipe displays.

However, these components are currently not supported in the latest version of EMI. As a result, mods that rely on these new JEI APIs encounter display issues in EMI, particularly with ScrollGridRecipeWidget, where all the Ingredients are rendered in a single position, overlapping each other.

In light of these compatibility concerns with JEI, I hope this issue can be reconsidered. Thank you for your time and for all the work you do on this project!
