Describe the the feature you'd like
I would like to be able to drag and drop a specific block from JEI to the Itemstack slot, without having to obtain the item before I tell my digital miner I want it to mine this item.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Obviously collecting the item fixes this issue, but that is why this is a feature request.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

You can already do this, the feature only got disabled for the digital miner on purpose so people will do a little of exploration

This is intended that it doesn't work for that slot.

Or just use the tag.

May I make a comment to disagree the decision of closing this issue?

In my humble opinion, and as Seniorendi said, with the Tag option we can already find 99% of the things (ores) we need in order to make progress. It already defeats the purpose of encouraging people to explore. But of course we can't remove such option or setting the configs will be too troublesome.

Most of the time we need to mine a specific block because we want to use it as build material. And building blocks mostly don't have tag. So, adding JEI drag-and-drop support to that slot will mostly benefit builders. It has nearly no effect to the actual game progression, and therefore, I sincerely hope that you can reconsider this decision.
