Item Converter

by settingdust

Item Converter lets players turn one item into another from the inventory, a container or the Applied Energistics 2 storage system, using the configured recipe types.

What it does

Conversions are triggered by holding a conversion key and then choosing a target, or by hovering over an item with the Left Alt key, which opens a popup listing the conversion targets allowed by the configured recipe types. Holding Shift while clicking converts an entire stack rather than a single item. The number keys 1 to 9 quick-select a numbered hotbar slot as the conversion target.

Middle-clicking a block in the world searches the inventory for items matching the block's converted form and performs the conversion. Middle-click can be toggled with a dedicated keybinding, and in creative mode holding Shift changes what a middle-click picks. Special item tags can be configured to receive priority, so their conversion results appear first and are highlighted with a colored border. Preferred sources can be set for middle-click conversions, and the mod favors items in the main inventory over the hotbar when several sources are available.

Item Converter requires Kotlin for Forge, and Applied Energistics 2 is optional, adding conversions that work directly on the ME storage network. The mod is published for Forge across six release versions, and it is needed on the client and on the server. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, although its source code is public.

Key features

  1. Inventory conversion

    Items can be converted inside the player inventory, in a container, or from the ME system when Applied Energistics 2 is installed.

  2. Conversion popup

    Hovering over an item with Left Alt opens a popup listing the targets allowed by the configured recipe types.

  3. Stack and slot shortcuts

    Shift-click converts a whole stack, and the number keys 1 to 9 select a hotbar slot as the target.

  4. Priority tags and highlights

    Configured special item tags are shown first in conversion results and marked with a colored border.
