Vestigate
Like investigate, but archaic apprently.
What does it do?
Vestigate adds one command /vestigate which can either be used on its own to see all datapacks/mods that add recipes (these appear in chat and can then be clicked to run the next command) or can be ran as /vestigate packId to see all the items added by that pack with respect to the recipes it adds. If you have Polydex installed, when you click on an item it will then show you the recipe in polydex.
Why?
Datapacks have come very far since the beginning and recently I was playing through The Bracken Pack and found that it adds a lot of things that are not currently documented; of course, documentation takes time, so I thought I would construct a serverside mod that allows players to see all a pack has to offer, by utilising the recipes they add to show what they then create
