Sophisticated Core guide for All the Mons 0.3.0-beta to 1.0.1

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.

There is no crafting order to follow for this mod. No recipes in this pack produce its items and no quests involve it, so I can't point you to a first item to make. What the mod does give you is the shared screen and settings that show up in backpack and storage GUIs. That's worth knowing before you start filling them up.^[2]

Unverified No recipe or quest in the sources for this section involves Sophisticated Core, so there is no confirmed first item to craft and no confirmed quest to start with.

Handy buttons in the storage screen

• Sort Inventory tidies the contents, and you can sort By Count, By Mod, By Name or By Tags.^[2]
• Transfer to Inventory and Transfer to Storage move items between your inventory and the storage. The Matching versions only move items that match, and the tooltip tells you to hold Shift to transfer all.^[2]
• The search box can show an expanded output list, and if nothing matches you'll see "No items match the search".^[2]

Settings worth checking early

• Keep Search Phrase can be ON or OFF. When it's ON, the screen prefills and filters by your last search the next time you open it.^[2]
• Keep Tab Open can be ON or OFF. When it's ON, the storage remembers which upgrade tab was open and reopens it next time.^[2]
• The Player settings context applies to all backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides it.^[2]
• You can save settings to a slot and load them again later. Exporting settings creates a data pack with an snbt file.^[2]

The pack's own settings for this mod live in config/sophisticatedcore-common.toml. I don't have the contents of that file here, so I can't tell you which values the pack changed.^[3]

Sophisticated Core supplies the shared screens and rules that the Sophisticated backpacks and storage blocks run on. This section covers what those screens and rules do, as far as the pack's sources explain them. The sources give no machine, multiblock, power or fluid behaviour for the core itself, so this is about handling items and upgrades.^[2]

Moving and finding items

Every backpack or storage screen has a Sort Inventory button. You can sort by count, by mod, by name or by tags. There are also transfer buttons that move items between your inventory and the storage, in both directions.^[2]

The transfer buttons come in two forms: one moves everything, the other moves only matching items. The matching versions have a tooltip telling you to hold Shift to transfer all.^[2]

The search box says "Click to search", and starting your search with @ searches by mod name. If nothing matches, the screen shows "No items match the search". There is also a button that opens an expanded output list with search.^[2]

Screen settings

The settings tab has a Player context. Player level settings apply to all backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them.^[2]

• Keep Search Phrase: when OFF, the screen clears your search when you close it and shows everything the next time. When ON, it keeps the phrase and filters by it when you reopen.^[2]
• Keep Tab Open: when OFF, open upgrade tabs close with the screen. When ON, the storage remembers which upgrade tab was last open and reopens it.^[2]
• Shift Click Into Open Tab First or Shift Click Into Inventory First: this decides where a shift-clicked stack goes first. With the open-tab option, it tries an open upgrade tab before your inventory or the storage. With the inventory option, it tries the inventory or storage first and only then an open tab.^[2]

Slot settings

• Item Display: 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. The settings also let you show the display on the front, left or right side.^[2]
• Memory: pick slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. There are Select All and Unselect All buttons, and left or right click and drag work as above.^[2]
• No Sort: pick slots that sorting ignores, using the same selection controls.^[2]

There are also Rotate and Toggle Color buttons. Rotate turns clockwise on left click and counter-clockwise on right click. Toggle Color goes to the next colour on left click and the previous one on right click, and a No Color option exists.^[2]

Saving settings as templates

You can save your settings to a slot and load them later. Scroll to change the slot number, and you can give a slot a custom name. Loading shows a message if no settings exist yet, or if the settings don't fit in that storage.^[2]

Export Settings creates a data pack with an snbt file. You type a file name, which can't be empty or contain invalid characters. Saved templates can then be loaded from that data pack.^[2]

Upgrade rules

Upgrades have a tab in the screen, and the settings tabs I could see cover Advanced Alchemy, Compacting, Feeding, Filter, Jukebox, Magnet, Pickup, Pump and Void. The language file was cut off, so other upgrades may exist that I can't list here. When an upgrade can't be added or removed, the game tells you why. The reasons the sources show are:^[2]

• Only one Battery Upgrade can be installed. The backpack must also support its energy, so you may need a better backpack or a stack multiplier for a higher max energy.^[2]
• Tank Upgrades are limited to two. The backpack needs enough capacity for the tank upgrade, and a stack multiplier can help.^[2]
• Some upgrades only allow a single copy, or a limited number of copies, in a given storage.^[2]
• Some upgrades need certain inventory slots to be empty before you add them. Others need all upgrade slots to be empty.^[2]
• Removing an upgrade can be blocked if an item must be removed first, or if a slot or upgrade needs a stack limit higher than the lowered multiplier allows.^[2]

What this pack changes

The pack's common.enabledItems list switches items on or off, and the file notes that disabling an item disables its recipes. Almost everything is set to true, including Infinity Upgrade (Admin) and Infinity Upgrade (Admin).^[3]

The exceptions are Stack Upgrade Omega Tier and Stack Upgrade Omega Tier, which are set to false in this pack.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Good news: Sophisticated Core only has one config option you really need to know about in this pack, and it's a big one. common.enabledItems is a master on/off switch for items from Sophisticated Core's add-ons, Sophisticated Backpacks and Sophisticated Storage included.^[4]

How the enabled-items list works

Each entry is an item id followed by a pipe and either true or false, like sophisticatedstorage:chest|true. The file's own comment says you can disable or enable any item here, and that disabling an item disables its recipes.^[4]

The list is long and many ids show up more than once, such as barrels, chests, shulker boxes and storage minecarts. Every repeated entry I can see carries the same value, so you don't need to worry about conflicts between them.^[4]

What this pack turns off

Nearly everything in the list is set to true. Only two entries are set to false in this pack: the omega-tier stack upgrade for backpacks, Stack Upgrade Omega Tier, and the matching one for storage, Stack Upgrade Omega Tier. Based on the file's comment, that means their recipes are disabled here.^[4]

What stays enabled

• The stack downgrade items for both backpacks and storage, for example Stack Downgrade Tier 1 and Stack Downgrade Tier 1, are set to true.^[4]
• The infinity upgrades, Infinity Upgrade (Admin) and Infinity Upgrade (Admin), are set to true, and so are their survival variants such as Survival Infinity Upgrade.^[4]
• The storage minecart, Storage Minecart, and the storage boat, Storage Boat, are both set to true.^[4]

Unverified The source only shows the values this pack uses. It doesn't show the mod's defaults, so I can't confirm whether the two omega-tier entries being false is a change from the mod default or just how the mod ships.
