Item Filters

by latvian.dev

Item Filters, a library mod, adds one filter item that matches items by several rules, and other catalog mods build on it.

FabricForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The filter item selects items by logical combinations of child filters: NOT inverts a child, OR matches when any child matches, AND matches when all children match, and XOR matches when exactly one of two children matches. Other filter types match by ore dictionary name, creative tab or source mod. The NOT, OR, AND and XOR filters have no editing screens yet.

Other mods use the library, and developers can add their own filter types through its API. A filter is created in creative mode, then right-click edits it. An item task can take its item from the player's inventory, and its icon scrolls through the valid matches, while the task title must be set by hand.

The mod requires Architectury API on both loaders and Fabric API on Fabric. Item Filters runs on client and server and is published for Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with the 2001.1.0-build.53 beta file for 1.20.1. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Single filter item

    One filter item holds the matching rules, so a filter can be configured without crafting several separate items.

  2. Logical combinations

    NOT, OR, AND and XOR join child filters, letting a match rule express exclusion or pairing.

  3. Ore dictionary matching

    A filter can match items by their ore dictionary name, such as ingotCopper.

  4. Creative tab and mod matching

    Filters can select items by the creative tab they belong to or by the mod that added them.
