Sophisticated Core in All the Mods 10: To the Sky

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 very little to craft by itself, so there is no long list of first items. The sources I have confirm one crafted item from it, plus the screen controls you will use as soon as you open a backpack or storage.^[2][3]

Craft the Ender Linker

The one item from this mod with a recipe in the pack's recipe dump is the Ender Linker. The pack changed this recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. The block below shows the exact in-pack recipe.^[2]

The recipe dump marks this crafting recipe as changed by the pack, so this is the pack's version.

Learn the storage screen buttons

Once a storage is open, the mod's own screen text shows a few buttons worth learning early. They save a lot of inventory juggling.^[3]

• Sort Inventory tidies the storage, and there are sort options By Count, By Mod, By Name and By Tags.^[3]
• Transfer to Inventory and Transfer to Storage move items between your inventory and the storage.^[3]
• There are also Transfer Matching to Inventory and Transfer Matching to Storage buttons, and their label says Shift To Transfer All.^[3]
• One button opens an expanded output list with search. If nothing matches, the screen tells you "No items match the search".^[3]

Check the settings

The settings screen has a few toggles you may want to flip right away. Keep Search Phrase makes the screen keep your search and filter by it when you open it again. Keep Tab Open makes it remember which upgrade tab was open last.^[3]

There is also a Player context for settings. Its tooltip says it applies to all backpacks and storages unless overridden. You can save your settings to a slot and load them later, and you scroll to change the slot.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Sophisticated Core's language file shows what it handles: the inventory screen, the upgrade rules and the settings that backpacks and storage blocks share. The sources here only cover that screen text, one config file and one recipe, so this section sticks to those.^[3]

Sorting, searching and transferring

The screen has a Sort Inventory button, and you can sort by count, by mod, by name or by tags. In the search box, start with @ to search by mod name. If nothing matches, the screen tells you no items match the search.^[3]

There are also buttons to transfer to your inventory or to the storage, plus "Transfer Matching" versions of each. The tooltip on the matching buttons says Shift transfers all.^[3]

Settings that change how the screen behaves

• Keep Search Phrase: when ON, the screen keeps your search and filters by it the next time you open it. When OFF, it clears the search on close and shows everything again.^[3]
• Keep Tab Open: when ON, the storage remembers which upgrade tab was open and reopens it next time. When OFF, all tabs start closed.^[3]
• Shift click behaviour: you can choose whether a shift click tries your inventory or storage first, or an open upgrade tab first.^[3]
• Player context: player level settings apply to all backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them.^[3]

Slot settings

• Memory: slots remember their contents and only allow matching stacks. Left click or drag selects a slot, right click or drag unselects it, and there are Select All and Unselect All buttons.^[3]
• No Sort: slots you pick here are ignored when you sort.^[3]
• Item Display: you pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage.^[3]

You can save your settings to a numbered slot and load them again. Scroll to change the slot, and you can give a slot a custom name. If the settings don't fit in a storage, loading tells you so. You can also export settings under a file name you enter, which creates a data pack with an snbt file.^[3]

Upgrade rules

The mod enforces some limits when you add or remove upgrades, and it shows an error message when you break one of them.^[3]

• Only one Battery Upgrade can sit in the upgrade slots at a time.^[3]
• Two Tank Upgrades are the limit: you get an error if two are already in other upgrade slots.^[3]
• A battery or tank upgrade can be refused if the backpack's capacity is too low. The message tells you to upgrade the backpack or add a stack multiplier.^[3]
• Removing an upgrade can be blocked if a slot or another upgrade still needs a higher stack limit.^[3]
• Only admins can remove an Infinity Upgrade.^[3]

Ender Linker

The Ender Linker is the one item registered under Sophisticated Core's own namespace in the sources. The pack changed its crafting recipe, so don't rely on the mod's default.^[2]

This is the pack's changed recipe for the Ender Linker.

When linking fails, the game gives you one of these messages: the storage is already linked, the storage has contents, the storage is incompatible with the linked storage group, or the storage cannot be linked.^[3]

What the pack's config changes

The pack sets common.enabledItems to a long list of item ids, each marked true or false. The file's own comment says this option enables or disables items and, by extension, their recipes.^[4]

The two omega tier stack upgrades, Stack Upgrade Omega Tier and Stack Upgrade Omega Tier, are set to false in this pack, so they are disabled here.^[4]

Sophisticated Core is a library mod that other mods build on, so in this pack it doesn't have tiers of its own to climb. The sources here only show a few things it adds to the pack, and they're covered below.^[5][6]

The Ender Linker

The Ender Linker is the one Sophisticated Core item with a recipe in the pack's recipe dump. That recipe is marked as changed by the pack, so don't expect the mod's default recipe. Use the one below.^[5]

Experience fluid

The pack's scripts treat Sophisticated Core's XP fluid as one of several interchangeable experience fluids. The others come from Industrial Foregoing, Mob Grinding Utils, PneumaticCraft: Repressurized, Just Dire Things and Create: Enchantment Industry.^[6]

Each of these fluids can be turned into a Create experience block, using either the drying basin or the mechanical drying basin from IntegratedDynamics. Each recipe takes 1,000 of the fluid. This is set up in a KubeJS script, so it is a pack change rather than something the mod does by default.^[6]

Unverified The quest sources here show no quest for this mod, so this page can't give you a quest-ordered progression path. Check the in-game quest book for anything that touches it.

Sophisticated Core is mostly a library mod that other Sophisticated mods build on, so its links to the rest of the pack are few. The in-pack recipes that connect it to another mod all involve its liquid XP, Xp Still, and turning it into solid experience.^[5][6]

Liquid XP into Block of Experience

The pack adds recipes in IntegratedDynamics that turn 1,000 of Xp Still into a Block of Experience. There is one for the drying basin and one for the mechanical drying basin. Both were added by the pack through a KubeJS script, so they are not part of the mods' own defaults.^[5][6]

When the script registers these recipes it does not set a duration, so it falls back to its own defaults: 300 for the drying basin and 30 for the mechanical drying basin. The mechanical basin is the faster option.^[6]

One recipe for every XP fluid

Sophisticated Core is not special here. The same script loops over a list of XP fluids from several mods and gives each one the same two basin recipes, all for 1,000 of the fluid. The list covers XP fluids from these mods:^[6]

• Sophisticated Core^[6]
• Industrial Foregoing^[6]
• Mob Grinding Utils^[6]
• PneumaticCraft: Repressurized^[6]
• Just Dire Things^[6]
• Create: Enchantment Industry^[6]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

The setting you are most likely to care about in Sophisticated Core is common.enabledItems. It is a list of item ids, each followed by |true or |false. The file's own comment says you can disable or enable any items here, and that disabling an item disables its recipes.^[4]

In this pack the list covers items from Sophisticated Backpacks, Sophisticated Storage and the storage in motion addon (the minecart and boat). Nearly every entry is set to true.^[4]

What this pack turns off

Only two entries are set to false, and both are the omega tier stack upgrades. If you go looking for a top-end stack upgrade, you won't find these two in this pack.^[4]

• Stack Upgrade Omega Tier is set to false, so the backpack version is disabled.^[4]
• Stack Upgrade Omega Tier is set to false, so the storage version is disabled.^[4]

The regular stack upgrades are still enabled: tiers 1 to 4 for backpacks, and tiers 1 to 5 for storage. The backpack starter tier stack upgrade is enabled too, and so are the stack downgrades, tiers 1 to 3, for both backpacks and storage.^[4]

Other things that stay on

Everything else listed is enabled. That includes all the backpack tiers (copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite), the barrels, chests and shulker boxes in every material tier, the controller, the storage link and the storage IO blocks. The infinity and survival infinity upgrades are on for both backpacks and storage.^[4]
