Sophisticated Core guide for All the Mods 10 2.23 to 2.33

Sophisticated Core is part of the pack in this version, at release 1.2.7 (built for Minecraft 1.21.1). The jar the pack ships is sophisticatedcore-1.21.1-1.2.7.857.jar, so if you are checking your install, that is the file to look for.^[1]

It is not a new addition. It was already in the pack as of version 0.52 or earlier, so it has been around for a long time.^[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. I also couldn't confirm any link to the ATM Star path or any quests that involve it, so I'm not guessing. Check back once more information is available.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Sophisticated Core is the shared base behind the storage screens of backpack and storage mods. The sources here show no items to craft from it directly, so your first steps are about learning the screen and settings you get once you hold a backpack or storage block from a mod that uses it.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no recipes or quests in this pack for Sophisticated Core, so there is no confirmed crafting order to give you. For what to craft first, look at the quest book and recipes of the storage mods that build on it.

What to do first

1. Hover over a backpack or storage item. An empty one reads "No Upgrades or Inventory Contents". Once it holds something, the tooltip tells you which key to press to view the contents and shows its Stack Size Multiplier.^[2]
2. Open the settings and look at the player level settings. They apply to all your backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them, so set your habits here once.^[2]
3. Decide whether the screen should keep your search phrase. When it is on, the search is prefilled and filtered when you reopen the screen. When it is off, the phrase clears on close and everything is shown again.^[2]
4. Decide whether to keep the upgrade tab open. When it is on, the screen remembers the last open upgrade tab and reopens it next time. When it is off, all tabs start closed.^[2]
5. Choose how shift click behaves. When the option is on, shift click tries an open upgrade tab first and then the inventory or storage. When it is off, it tries the inventory or storage first and only then an open tab.^[2]

Slot settings worth knowing

• Slot Memory Settings let you pick slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. Left click or drag selects a slot, right click or drag unselects it.^[2]
• No Sort Slot Settings let you pick slots that sorting ignores, using the same click and drag controls plus select all and unselect all buttons.^[2]
• Item Display Settings let you pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage.^[2]

The mod also has an enabled items option that comes prefilled with all supported items. Its tooltip says you change true to false to disable one, in the format item_id|true_or_false.^[2]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Sophisticated Core is the shared interface layer behind backpack and storage GUIs. The sources for this pack cover tooltips and GUI descriptions, so this section explains how that interface and its settings behave.^[2]

Player-level settings

The settings screen has a player-level context. Settings you change there apply to all your backpacks and storages unless an individual one overrides them. Set your preferences once, then tweak single containers only where you need to.^[2]

Interface behavior toggles

• Keep search phrase: when off, the GUI clears the search phrase on close and shows every item again when you reopen it. When on, it keeps the phrase and filters by it on reopening.^[2]
• Keep tab open: when off, the open upgrade tab closes with the GUI, and all tabs start closed next time. When on, the container remembers the last open upgrade tab and reopens it.^[2]
• Shift-click open tab: when off, shift-clicking a stack moves it between inventory and storage first, and only then into an open tab. When on, an open tab gets the stack first.^[2]

Slot settings

The settings screen has tabs that let you control individual slots. In the slot tabs, left click or drag selects slots and right click or drag unselects them.^[2]

• Item Display: pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage.^[2]
• Slot Memory: pick slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. This tab has Select all and Unselect all buttons.^[2]
• No Sort: pick slots that sorting ignores. This tab also has Select all and Unselect all buttons.^[2]

Upgrade tabs

Installed upgrades get their own settings tabs. The sources name tabs for Advanced Alchemy, Advanced Compacting, Advanced Feeding, Advanced Filter, Advanced Magnet, Advanced Pickup and Advanced Void. There is also a Botanist's Workbench tab.^[2]

Tank upgrades show their XP contents as a number of XP levels out of a maximum. A level control is labelled "Level at which Pump Stops", so you can choose the level where the pump stops. The sources don't explain more about how the pump works.^[2]

Stack upgrades and tooltips

To convert an installed Stack Upgrade, right-click it. A storage item's tooltip shows its Stack Size Multiplier, and it says "No Upgrades or Inventory Contents" when it is empty. Otherwise you can press the key shown in the tooltip to view its contents.^[2]

Templates and enabled items

The settings screen has an export template button. The sources say it creates a data pack containing an snbt file.^[2]

The mod also has an enabled-items configuration. It comes prefilled with all supported items, and each entry uses the format item_id|true_or_false. Changing true to false disables that item.^[2]

Unverified Which items, if any, the pack disables in the enabled-items option is set in the mod's config, and the sources here do not show it because no config files for this mod were available.

Sophisticated Core's common config in this pack has one option worth knowing about: common.enabledItems. It's a big list that controls which Sophisticated items are turned on. The file's own comment says you can disable or enable any item there, and that disabling an item also disables its recipes.^[3]

How the list is written

Each entry is a text string with the item id, a pipe, and an on/off flag, for example sophisticatedstorage:controller followed by |true. The list covers items from three namespaces: sophisticatedstorage, sophisticatedbackpacks and sophisticatedstorageinmotion (the storage minecart).^[3]

What this pack sets

Every entry in the pack's list is set to true, so none of the listed items or their recipes are disabled through this option. That includes the storage blocks, backpacks, upgrades, tier upgrades and chipped-style upgrades. It also includes a few tools, such as Packing Tape, Paintbrush and Debug Tool.^[3]

The list repeats many ids, such as the barrel, chest, shulker box and storage minecart, several times each. Each repeat is also set to true, so the duplicates don't change anything for you.^[3]

Unverified I can't tell from the sources whether the pack changed this list from the mod's defaults, or whether Sophisticated Core has other config options that matter. Only this one option was provided, so treat anything beyond it as unconfirmed.

The pack changelogs only record which version of Sophisticated Core each release shipped, not what changed inside each update. So this section is a timeline of version bumps rather than a list of features.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

Sophisticated Core was already in the pack in 0.52 or earlier. All the Mods 10 2.33 ships version 1.2.7 (file sophisticatedcore-1.21.1-1.2.7.857.jar).^[1]

Pack release timeline

• 2.26: updated from 1.1.3 to 1.1.5.^[8]
• 2.29: updated from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6.^[7]
• 2.31: updated from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1.^[6]
• 2.32: updated from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2.^[5]
• 2.33: updated from 1.2.2 to 1.2.7.^[4]

Unverified What actually changed inside each Sophisticated Core update (new features, fixes or balance tweaks) is not shown by the sources here, because no changelogs for the shipped jars were stored. Check the mod's own release notes if you need the details.
