[Feature Request]: Add support for Genetics Resequenced #1459

Mod

FTB JEI Extras

Description

When Genetics Resequenced changed hands, the new maintainer decided to convert the JEI plugin to an EMI plugin. As Genetics Resequenced is currently used in at least one FTB pack (FTB Evolution) where JEI is used, and it's basically unplayable without digging into the mod's data folders (and even then, the brewing/mutation system has proven too hard to figure out), I think it would be a good idea to make a basic plugin to handle the small number of recipes the mod adds, and show us what genes each mob possesses.

FTB JEI Extras is already in the pack I mentioned. Here's a link to the mod: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/genetics-resequenced

Describe the solution you'd like

A JEI plugin that exposes incubator recipes, and adds something like an information page to genes with a list of mobs that produce said gene. A page with a gene dependency tree would also be nice - it feels bad to make a super useful gene, then watch it void itself because you lack the prerequisite.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Writing one myself
  2. Cloning the pack and running a version with EMI just to see what the h***l the maintainer changed since the last time the documentation was updated
  3. Writing the maintainer to remind them that EMI supports JEI plugins (so converting to EMI just reduces support without reducing the workload)
  4. Digging into the jar and trying to manually parse the mod's json files. (This is the one I went with. Between this and the out of date documentation, I was able to figure out basic genes)
  5. Using an online wiki (out of date)
  6. Using the two in game guidebooks (both are out of date, eg, flight no longer requires slow fall, it requires step assist; the incubator is no longer a proper brewing stand; JEI is no longer supported...)
  7. Filing a bug report in the modpack git repo: List of Observations in FTB Evolution (WIP) FTB-Modpack-Issues#6447 (comment) List B#20
