Your Pack Version

2.7.1 nightly

Your Proposal

Many mods has its own versions of items, which don't used due to GT items or something. E.g.:

• EnderIO ingots doesn't used since we have GT ingots
  

• Thaumcraft has nuggets for many metals replaces by GT ones
  

• IC2 own dusts, plates
  

• GT++ ones
  

• Avaritia infinity and cosmic neutronium
  
  

• Draconic Evolution ingots and dust
  

• And so on, i think that current issue we can track list of it

My proposal is to remove this items and use the commonly used ones (e.g. GT ones) instead.

Your Goal

Remove NEI cluttering, remove chance of mistakes in AE2 recipes encoding, remove unused items.

Yes, there is a forge(?) system what automatically converts some of this items in your inventory to target ones, but it isn't sufficient, since items in AE2 doesn't converted, AE2 recipes still can use different materials, NEI still cluttered.

My personal pain is the thaumcraft iron nuggets, my EIG farms iron from metalleat and it gives me the thaumcraft nuggets. Nuggets should be smelted to ingots but every server restart my zyngen stocking input bus converts the filter with thaumcraft nuggets into GT ones, and TC nuggets starts stockpiling in my system.

Your Vision

I can't say I'm very knowledgeable about modding, but I have a couple of ideas on how to do it. So, there is a technical suggestions on how to do it.

Mods register items by calling the forge API GameRegistry.registerItem. We can rewrite it (for mods which sources we can change) or write a mixins which reassign the item variable, and replace it with our commonly used alternative. Original item (which we will replace) we still register in registry to ensure backward compatibility and migration, but hides from NEI, creative tabs, etc. And the final step is a postea transformer which will migrate old items to a commonly used ones.

So, mods will use our item instead of theirs, and existing old items will be migrated on world load.

its a work in progress. see for example GTNewHorizons/ForestryMC#82, #17298
