When playing with mods, it’s common to not know how to craft this or that addition of one of the mods, either because you forgot it or because the author gives little information about it. The latter case is particularly painful and can ruin a modded game experience.
Fortunately, the JEI mod, for Just Enough Items, offers a grid listing all the items and blocks of your game (mods and vanilla), from which you can get any of them, or see its craft. In addition, some items also come with a manual explaining how to use them. In short, Just Enough Items is a very intuitive mod that will make your life a lot easier.
