InventoryFilter
by tmage
InventoryFilter is a Forge mod that removes unwanted items from the inventory as soon as they are picked up, based on a set of nine configurable filter slots.
What it does
A player crafts an Inventory Filter item and right-clicks it to open a filter screen with nine slots. Clicking a slot while holding an item adds that item type to the filter, and the filter stays active once the screen is closed. Any matching item is deleted the moment it enters the inventory, which cuts down on manual cleanup of junk stacks.
The filter settings are saved with the item, so the same configuration applies wherever the player carries it. Filtering can be switched off by clicking a filter slot with an empty hand. The mod works in single-player and on multiplayer servers, and its author describes its performance cost as light.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Automatic item removal
Items matching the filter are deleted as soon as they enter the inventory, with no further action.
Nine filter slots
Nine slots let the player configure up to nine different item types to filter out.
Persistent configuration
Filter settings are saved in the item, so the setup carries over to any place the item is taken.
Quick filter editing
Clicking an item in a filter slot adds it, and an empty-hand click on a slot turns that filter off.
