In your last video you already said that this would be a good idea, as it is sometimes hard to see from the visuals which blocks are actually required by the Copy-Paste Gadget. (I'm mainly putting this here as a remainder for you @Direwolf20...)
(For others: the Problem was, that he wanted to paste some mysterious purple blocks in - from the visuals it was almost impossible to tell, what they actually were)
Also people have been suggesting ideas in the comments on how to show these strings:
Personally I like the last version best, as
I'm liking the idea of a scrollable list of item names and images? Along with a count. Not sure how to show it but maybe on the mode selection their could be one to show resources?
I was actually referring to the Copy-Paste Gadget (and it's Templates, which would then show the 'required items gui' when clicked into empty air?) only... (Edited it now - I just saw that I never ever mentioned what I was actually talking about! -_-)
In the case of the Building/Exchanging Gadget one almost always knows with which block one is building...
Though I can't tell if it is useful to know how many blocks one is exactly going to use.
Giving a go at this. (might take forever from I start since I'm also doing a refactor)
This has actually already been implement to 1.13 but I feel we could use this in 1.12 too so I'll sort this out for for 1.12-2.7.0
Closed by #278 and #314. Thanks again @hnOsmium0001.
