Simple Magnets in All the Mods 10

Simple Magnets adds magnets that pull dropped items and experience toward you. If you're tired of loot landing just out of reach while you mine or break things, this mod is for you. The pack includes version 1.1.12+c.^[1][2][3]

The magnets

The Basicmagnet is the one you'll meet first. It picks up items and experience within 5 blocks of you. The Advanced Magnet is the upgrade. Its range is configurable up to 11 blocks, and you can set the item range and the experience range separately. It also supports a whitelist or blacklist, so you only grab what you want.^[1]

To switch a magnet on or off, hold it and right-click. You can also carry it in a Curios slot and keep it working, and the mod supports a key bind for toggling.^[1][3]

Demagnetization Coils

Sometimes you don't want a magnet to grab everything. The Demagnetization Coil stops items from being attracted by magnets, and its area can be adjusted up to 3 blocks away. The Advanced Demagnetization Coil reaches up to 5 blocks and can filter items.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The pack introduces the mod through the quest "Simple Magnets" quest in the Tips and Tricks chapter. That quest asks for the Basicmagnet and describes it as a quality-of-life tool, with a 5 block radius, Curios support and a range upgrade. It's a convenience item rather than a progression gate.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't show the pack's crafting recipes for the magnets or coils, or any changes the pack makes to their configs, so check in-game before relying on them.

Simple Magnets solves one annoying problem: drops that land just out of your reach. The pack has a quest for it, "Simple Magnets" quest, in the Tips and Tricks chapter, and its task is the Basicmagnet. That's where you start.^[3]

Step 1: Make a Basic Magnet

The quest's task is this magnet, so it is the first thing to craft.

Hold the magnet and right-click to turn it on. While it's active, dropped items and blocks within a 5 block radius fly to you. Right-click again to turn it off. It also picks up experience.^[3][5]

You don't have to keep it in your hand. You can equip it in a Curios slot and it keeps working. The mod page also says magnets can be toggled with a key bind.^[1][3]

Step 2: Make a Demagnetization Coil

Magnets are great until you stand next to a mob farm and your magnet starts dragging in every drop. The fix is the Basic Demagnetization Coil. Place it at mob farms and other factories that rely on dropped items, and it stops magnets from attracting items nearby. Its area can be adjusted up to 3 blocks away.^[1][3][4][5]

To change its settings, look at the placed coil with an empty hand and right-click it.^[1]

Step 3: Upgrade to the Advanced Magnet

Once the basic one is part of your routine, the quest points out that the magnet can be upgraded for more range. The Advancedmagnet reaches up to 11 blocks and lets you set item and experience ranges separately. It also supports a whitelist or blacklist, so you only collect what you want.^[1][3][4]

Select it in your hotbar and Shift-Right-Click to open its GUI. Click a filter slot with the item you want, then choose whitelist or blacklist, and whether to match NBT data.^[1]

Step 4: Make an Advanced Demagnetization Coil

If you build bigger farms, the Advanced Demagnetization Coil covers up to 5 blocks and can filter items. That means it can block only the drops you pick.^[1][4][5]

Simple Magnets adds magnets that pull dropped items and experience to you, plus demagnetization coils that stop that from happening in an area. Here is how each part works.^[1]

Magnets

Both magnets pick up items and experience around the player. The Basicmagnet has a range of 5 blocks. The Advancedmagnet reaches up to 11 blocks and is configurable.^[1][4][5]

With the Advanced Magnet you can set the range for items and for experience separately. You can also filter which items it picks up using a whitelist or a blacklist.^[1][5]

Magnets also work in Baubles or Curios slots, and you can toggle them with a key bind, so you don't have to keep one in your hand.^[1]

Using a magnet

1. To turn a magnet on or off, select it in your hotbar and right-click with it.^[1]
2. To open the Advanced Magnet's GUI, select it in your hotbar and shift-right-click with it.^[1]

Filtering items

Filtering is done in the Advanced Magnet's GUI. Follow these steps:^[1]

1. Open the Advanced Magnet's GUI.^[1]
2. Click one of the filter slots while holding the item you want to filter.^[1]
3. Set the filter to whitelist or blacklist.^[1]
4. Choose whether the filter should match NBT data or not.^[1]

Demagnetization coils

Demagnetization coils do the opposite job of magnets: they prevent items near them from being attracted by magnets. The Basic Demagnetization Coil can be adjusted to cover up to 3 blocks away.^[1][4][5]

The Advanced Demagnetization Coil covers up to 5 blocks away and can also filter items.^[1][4][5]

To open a coil's GUI, look at the coil with an empty hand and right-click it.^[1]

The Advanced Demagnetization Coil is a shaped crafting recipe that uses the Basic Demagnetization Coil in the pack.

Simple Magnets has a small, linear progression in this pack: a magnet line and a demagnetization coil line, each with a basic and an advanced version. The pack's only quest for the mod is "Simple Magnets" quest in the Tips and Tricks chapter, and it asks you to get the Basicmagnet.^[3][4]

Tier 1: the basic magnet

The quest is there to save you from drops that land just out of reach while you break things. Right click while holding the magnet to turn it on, and dropped items and blocks within a 5 block radius come to you. Right click again to switch it off.^[3]

You can also equip the magnet in your Curios slot so it keeps working without being held. Here is the in-pack recipe for the Basicmagnet:^[3][4]

Tier 2: the advanced magnet

The quest says the magnet can be upgraded to increase its range. The upgrade is the Advancedmagnet, and its in-pack recipe builds on the basic magnet.^[3][4]

Keeping drops where they belong: demagnetization coils

Magnets get annoying near mob farms, because they pull in the drops you want to keep in place. The quest suggests a couple of fixes: turn the magnet off with another right click, or place demagnetization coils at mob farms and other factories that involve dropped items.^[3]

The coils have a basic and an advanced version too. Start with the Basic Demagnetization Coil:^[4]

In this pack, Simple Magnets is tied to one other mod by a recipe, and that mod is Mekanism. The pack adds a custom shaped recipe that uses the Basicmagnet to craft the Module Magnetic Attraction Unit, a module from Mekanism.^[4]

This recipe is added by the pack, and it needs a Basic Magnet from Simple Magnets.

The other ingredients in that recipe are Mekanism items such as Module Base, Reinforced Alloy and Elite Control Circuit. So if you want this module, get your Basic Magnet sorted first.^[4]

Curios and the quest book

The "Tips and Tricks" quest "Simple Magnets" quest introduces the Basicmagnet. It tells you that you can equip the magnet in your Curios slots to keep using it. That matches the mod's own description, which says magnets work in Baubles or Curios slots.^[1][3]

The same quest says that when the magnet is on, dropped items and blocks within a 5 block radius come to you. It also suggests placing Demagnetization Coils at mob farms and other factories that deal with dropped items, so your magnet doesn't pull in things you want to stay put.^[3]

Simple Magnets appears in one quest in this pack, so there is no chain to follow. It sits in the "Tips and Tricks" chapter as "Simple Magnets" quest.^[3]

What the quest asks for

It has a single task: hand in a Basicmagnet. The quest introduces the magnet rather than sending you through a long set of objectives.^[3]

What the quest teaches

The quest text pitches the magnet as the fix for blocks and items that drop just out of your reach while you're breaking things. Here is what it says about using it:^[3]

• Right click while holding the magnet to turn it on. The quest says all dropped items and blocks within a 5 block radius will then come to you.^[3]
• You can equip the magnet in your Curios to keep using it without holding it.^[3]
• Right click with it again to turn it off. The quest says this is handy near mob farms.^[3]
• You can also place Demagnetization Coils at mob farms and other factories that involve dropped items, to stop the magnet pulling items away from them.^[3]

The sources for Simple Magnets are short, so this section is too. The mod was already in All the Mods 10 by version 2.25 (it was first included in 2.25 or earlier), and All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Simple Magnets 1.1.12+c.^[2]

• All the Mods 10 2.42 updated Simple Magnets from 1.1.12+b to 1.1.12+c. That is the version you get in 8.1.^[2][6]
• All the Mods 10 8.1 includes the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21, in the file simplemagnets-1.1.12c-neoforge-mc1.21.jar.^[2]

Unverified What actually changed between 1.1.12+b and 1.1.12+c is unverified. No stored changelogs for the shipped jars are available, so the sources here do not show whether it was a bug fix, a balance change or something else.
