Sophisticated Core in All the Mons

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

Sophisticated Core is included in this pack at version 1.0.5, shipped as the Minecraft 1.21.1 build sophisticatedcore-1.21.1-1.0.5.813.jar. It has been in the pack since version 0.32 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Sophisticated Core does in gameplay, who it is aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression. They also don't show it on the ATM Star path or tied to any quests, so I'm not making claims about those. Check back once more detail is available.

Sophisticated Core has one recipe in this pack's recipe dump: the Ender Linker. That makes it the first thing to craft. Everything else in this section is about the settings you will use once you have a compatible storage.^[2]

Step 1: Craft the Ender Linker

The pack changes this recipe from the mod's default, so use the exact in-pack version below instead of relying on other guides.^[2]

Recipe id: sophisticatedcore:ender_linker

This is the pack-modified recipe for the Ender Linker.

To use it, right-click a compatible storage with it, or craft with one. Once it is bound, right-clicking or crafting with an unlinked compatible storage adds that storage to the link. Linked storages show a Linked Storage Group in their tooltip.^[3]

Step 2: Set up your storage settings

Once you have a compatible backpack or storage, open its settings. The player-level settings apply to all your backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them. These are the ones worth knowing early:^[3]

• Slot Memory lets you pick slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks.^[3]
• No Sort lets you pick slots that sorting ignores, so your hand-arranged slots stay where you put them.^[3]
• Item Display lets you pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage. Left click or drag selects a slot, and right click or drag unselects it.^[3]
• Keep search phrase decides whether the storage screen clears your search when closed, or keeps it and filters by it next time you open it.^[3]
• Keep tab open decides whether the storage remembers the last open upgrade tab.^[3]
• Shift click open tab decides whether a shift-click goes into an open upgrade tab first, or into the inventory or storage first.^[3]

The sources I have for Sophisticated Core cover the storage screens, their settings and a few tooltips. They don't describe machines, multiblocks, power or fluid piping, so I won't make any of that up. What follows is what I can confirm about how storage works in the pack.^[3]

Player-level settings

The settings screen has a player-level context. These settings apply to all your backpacks and storages unless something overrides them.^[3]

• Keep search phrase: when it's on, the backpack or storage screen remembers your search and filters by it the next time you open it. When it's off, the phrase is cleared on close and you see every item again.^[3]
• Keep tab open: when it's on, the storage records which upgrade tab was open last and reopens it next time. When it's off, all tabs start closed.^[3]
• Shift-click into open tab: when it's on, shift-clicking a stack tries an open upgrade tab first and only then the inventory or storage. When it's off, the order flips and the open tab comes last.^[3]

Per-slot settings

Some settings work on individual slots. In each one you left click or drag to select slots and right click or drag to unselect them.^[3]

• Slot memory: selected slots remember their contents and only allow matching stacks in them.^[3]
• No sort: selected slots are ignored when you sort. Slot memory and no sort both have select all and unselect all buttons.^[3]
• Item display: you pick a slot, and its item is shown on top of the storage.^[3]

There is also an export template button, which creates a data pack containing an snbt file.^[3]

Upgrade tabs

Installed upgrades get their own settings tabs. The sources list tabs for Advanced Alchemy, Advanced Compacting, Advanced Feeding, Advanced Filter, Advanced Magnet, Advanced Pickup and Advanced Void, plus a Botanist's Workbench tab. The sources only give the tab names, so I can't say what each upgrade does.^[3]

The tank upgrade can hold XP. Its tooltip shows the contents as XP levels out of a maximum, and there is a control to set the level at which the pump stops.^[3]

If you already have a Stack Upgrade installed, right-click it to convert it. A storage's tooltip also shows its Stack Size Multiplier. If the storage has nothing in it, the tooltip says it has no upgrades or inventory contents.^[3]

Linking storages with the Ender Linker

The Ender Linker links compatible storages together. An unused one tells you to right-click a compatible storage, or craft with one. Once it's bound, you right-click or craft it with another unlinked compatible storage to add that one. Linked storages show a Linked Storage Endpoint and a Linked Storage Group in their tooltips.^[3]

The pack changes the Ender Linker recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's default. This is the in-pack version:^[2]

Disabling items

The mod has an enabled items setting that is prefilled with every supported item. You disable an item by changing its entry from true to false, in the format item id, a vertical bar, then true or false.^[3]

Unverified No config files for this mod are available, so I can't tell you whether the pack has disabled any items or changed other values. Check in game before you rely on a particular item being available.

The sources for this pack show no tier ladder for this mod, so there is no tier breakdown to walk through here. The one thing they cover is the Ender Linker.^[2]

The Ender Linker uses a shaped crafting recipe, and the pack has changed it. Don't rely on the mod's default recipe. Here is the exact in-pack version:^[2]

Recipe id: sophisticatedcore:ender_linker

This is the pack's changed shaped recipe for the Ender Linker, not the mod default.

Sophisticated Core has one option worth knowing about in this pack: common.enabledItems in the common config. It is a list of entries written as an item id, a pipe, then true or false. The file's own comment says it lets you disable or enable any items, and that disabling an item disables its recipes.^[4]

What this pack turns off

Almost every entry in the pack's list is set to true. That covers the Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks blocks, tiers and upgrades, plus the storage minecart and storage boat. The infinity and survival infinity upgrades are on too.^[4]

Two entries are set to false, which means their recipes are disabled in this pack:^[4]

• Stack Upgrade Omega Tier^[4]
• Stack Upgrade Omega Tier^[4]

So if you were hoping to reach an omega stack upgrade for your backpacks or storage, it isn't craftable here. The regular stack upgrade tiers and the stack downgrade tiers are still enabled.^[4]

Unverified Whether the omega stack upgrades are disabled by default in the mod itself is not confirmed by the pack files, so treat this as the pack's setting only.
