What is Trash Cans?

3 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Trash Cans is a simple utility mod that gives you a way to get rid of things you don't want. It adds trash cans that can void items, fluids (liquids and gasses) and energy. This pack includes version 1.0.18 of the mod.[1][2]

The four trash cans

  • Item Trash Can: voids items, and you can set up item filters in its GUI.[1]
  • Fluid Trash Can: voids liquids and gasses, with fluid filters in its GUI.[1]
  • Energy Trash Can: voids energy, and you can set a transfer limit in its GUI.[1]
  • Ultimate Trash Can: handles items, fluids and energy in one block, with the same item and fluid filters and the same energy transfer limit.[1]

Items and fluids can be filtered with either a whitelist or a blacklist. That lets you void only the junk you pick, or everything except the things you want to keep.[1]

Who it's for

It's for anyone whose machines keep producing byproducts, whose tanks are overflowing, or whose energy network needs somewhere to dump surplus power. The mod has no cap on how much it can void or how fast, so a trash can won't become a bottleneck in your setup.[1]

Tip: Deleted something by accident? The mod lets you retrieve up to the last 6 deleted items.[1]
Watch out: Voiding Mekanism nuclear waste is disabled by default in the mod's config and has to be switched on there. Whether this pack changes that setting is unverified.[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The sources don't place Trash Cans at any particular stage of progression. No quests in this pack involve it, and it isn't on the ATM Star path. Treat it as an optional quality-of-life block that you can craft whenever you need it. The mod also has no in-jar guidebook.[1][2]

How do you get started with Trash Cans?

4 parts

Trash Cans has one job: getting rid of stuff you don't want. It adds cans for items, fluids and energy, plus an ultimate can that does all of them. Every one of them is made with an ordinary crafting recipe, and the order below is the order I'd make them in.[1][3][4]

Start with the item trash can

Make the Item Trash Can first. It voids items, and it has a filter that holds up to 9 items, so you choose what gets deleted.[1][4]

The filter is set inside the can's GUI and can be a whitelist or a blacklist.

Tip: Deleted something by mistake? The mod keeps up to the last 6 deleted items so you can retrieve them after an accidental deletion.[1]

Add the liquid trash can

Next is the Liquid Trash Can. It voids liquids and gasses, and it has a filter for up to 9 fluids. Make it when you have a fluid you have no use for.[1][4]

Fluids can be whitelisted or blacklisted in the GUI.

Then the energy trash can

The Energy Trash Can voids energy. It can also limit the energy transfer rate, and you set that limit inside its GUI.[1][4]

Finish with the ultimate trash can

Once you have an item can, a liquid can and an energy can, you can combine them into the Ultimate Trash Can. It voids items, fluids and energy in one block, with the item and fluid filters and the energy transfer limit. Crafting it also has its own advancement.[1][3][4]

Crafting Shapeless

Recipe id: trashcans:ultimate_trash_can

A shapeless recipe, so the layout in the crafting grid doesn't matter.

Tip: The mod's description says there is no limit on how much can be voided or how fast, whether it is items, fluids or energy.[1]

Unverified The mod's description says it can also void Mekanism nuclear waste, but that this is disabled by default and switched on in the mod's config file. The sources here do not show that setting for this pack.

How does Trash Cans work?

5 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Trash Cans is a simple mod with one job: getting rid of things you don't want. Each can voids a different resource: items, fluids, or energy. The Ultimate Trash Can can void items, fluids and energy in one block.[1][5]

The cans

Filters and limits

Items and fluids can be whitelisted or blacklisted, and you set the filters inside the can's GUI. The energy can's transfer limit is also set in its GUI.[1]

The Ultimate Trash Can combines the other cans' behaviors. It has filters for items and liquids, plus a limit for energy transfer.[1]

Tip: The project page says there is no cap on how much a can can void, or how fast. You can void items, fluids and energy as much and as fast as you want.[1]

Getting items back

If you void something by accident, you can retrieve it. The mod keeps up to the last 6 deleted items.[1]

Crafting

In this pack, the item, fluid and energy cans each use a shaped crafting recipe from the mod. The Ultimate Trash Can uses a shapeless recipe that combines the other cans.[6]

This is a shapeless recipe, so the layout in the crafting grid doesn't matter.

What the sources don't confirm

Unverified The mod's project page says voiding Mekanism nuclear waste is disabled by default and can be enabled in the config file. The sources here show no config file for Trash Cans in this pack, so whether you can change that setting here is unverified.

How do you progress through Trash Cans?

2 parts

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Trash Cans has a short progression in this pack, and it comes entirely from crafting recipes. You have Item Trash Can, Liquid Trash Can and Energy Trash Can as the base cans, and Ultimate Trash Can sits on top of them.[7]

The base cans

The Item, Liquid and Energy Trash Cans are all shaped crafting recipes, and none of them needs another can. You can make them in any order. The recipe blocks below show the exact in-pack layout for each one.[7]

The Ultimate Trash Can

The Ultimate Trash Can is the top tier. Its recipe is shapeless, so the layout in the crafting grid doesn't matter, and it is made from the base cans rather than from raw materials. That means you work up to it by crafting the base cans first.[7]

Crafting Shapeless

What changed in Trash Cans between versions?

1 part

All the Mods 10 0.64 ships Trash Cans 1.0.18+a, using the file trashcans-1.0.18a-neoforge-mc1.21.jar. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 0.36 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the pack.[8]

Mod releases

  • Trash Cans 1.0.18: the initial release of Trash Cans for Minecraft 1.21.[9][10]
  • Trash Cans 1.0.18a: updated to account for breaking changes in Mekanism. This is the version in the pack right now.[8][9]

That's the whole changelog so far, and there's nothing else to report. If you've been playing the pack for a while, the only change between the first release and the version you have is the Mekanism compatibility fix.[8][9]
