FTB Filter System in All the Mods 11

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

This pack ships FTB Filter System version 21.1.4, in the NeoForge build (ftb-filter-system-neoforge-21.1.4.jar). It has been part of the pack since an earlier release, 2.25 or older, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have only confirm that the mod is installed and which version it is. They don't describe what it does, who it's aimed at, or its recipes and configs, so I'm not guessing about those. Nothing I was given places it on a quest line or the ATM Star path, so I can't say where it fits in progression.

Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.3.0 guide

The whole mod comes down to one item: the Smart Filter from FTB Filter System. You make it once, then set it up to match whatever items you want. So your first step in this pack is simply crafting one.^[2][3]

Step 1: Craft a Smart Filter

The Smart Filter is a shaped crafting recipe. The block below shows the exact in-pack layout, so check it there rather than trusting memory from other packs.^[2]

Step 2: Configure it and test it

1. Hold the Smart Filter and right-click to open the filter configuration.^[3]
2. Build the filter from the filter types below.^[3]
3. Put an item in your off hand, then sneak and right-click with the Smart Filter to test whether it matches.^[3]

Filter types you can use

The configuration screen offers simple filters that look at one property of an item, plus compound filters that combine other filters.^[3]

• Item: matches a specific item. It does not check component data, so use the Component filter for that.^[3]
• Item tag: matches any item that is in the chosen tag.^[3]
• Mod: matches by the mod that adds the item. Vanilla items count as the Minecraft 'mod'.^[3]
• Block: matches if the item is a placeable block.^[3]
• Component: matches item data components, either exact (all components must match) or fuzzy (only the components in the filter).^[3]
• Durability, Food value, Stack size and Max stack size: match on remaining durability, nutritional value (half-shanks of food restored), current stack size and maximum stack size.^[3]
• And, Or, Not and Only one: compound filters. And needs all children to match, Or needs any, Not matches when its single child does not match, and Only one needs exactly one child to match.^[3]
• Expression: lets you enter a literal filter expression or load one from a filter item in your inventory. Giving it a custom name is recommended for clarity.^[3]

There is also a Custom filter, but it is meant for modders and modpack makers, so you can ignore it for now.^[3]

Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.3.0 guide

FTB Filter System is built around one item: the Smart Filter. You build a filter out of small matching rules, and the filter then answers one question for any item: does it match or not? The sources here describe the filter rules themselves. They don't show which machines or other mods accept the filter, so this section sticks to how the filter works.^[3]

This is the in-pack recipe for the Smart Filter.

Using the Smart Filter

• Right-click with the filter in your hand to open the configuration screen.^[3]
• Sneak and right-click to test the filter against the item you are holding in your off hand. It's a handy way to check a filter before you rely on it.^[3]

Basic filter types

These are the rules that look at a single item. You combine them to build up your filter.^[3]

• Item: matches one specific item. It does not check item component data, so use the Component filter for that. You can pick items from the Creative or Inventory item lists, and the text field narrows the list by item ID.^[3]
• Item Tag: matches any item that is in the chosen tag. The text field filters the displayed tags.^[3]
• Mod: matches by the mod that adds the item. Vanilla items count as belonging to the Minecraft 'mod'.^[3]
• Block: matches if the item is a placeable block.^[3]
• Component: matches item data components. It supports exact matches, where all components must match, and fuzzy matches, where only the components written in the filter are checked.^[3]
• Durability: matches on remaining durability. Items that can't be damaged count as having a durability of 0.^[3]
• Food Value: matches on nutritional value, measured in half-shanks of food restored. Non-food items count as 0.^[3]
• Max Stack Size: matches an item's maximum stack size. Unstackable items have a maximum of 1.^[3]
• Stack Size: matches the current stack size of the item.^[3]

Compound filters

Compound filters hold child filters and decide a match from their results. Nest them to build more precise rules.^[3]

• And: matches if all of its child filters match.^[3]
• Or: matches if any of its child filters match.^[3]
• Not: matches if its child filter does not match. You can add at most one child.^[3]
• Only One: matches if exactly one of its child filters matches.^[3]

Expression and Custom filters

The Expression filter lets you enter a literal filter expression, or load one from a Filter item in your inventory. Giving it a custom name is optional but recommended, so you can tell your filters apart later.^[3]

The Custom filter is meant for modders and modpack makers. When a match is attempted it fires a CustomFilterEvent, and the event result decides whether the match succeeds or fails. Whatever you type in its text field is passed to the event as the 'data' parameter.^[3]

The pack has no tier ladder for FTB Filter System. The only item the recipe dump lists for it is the Smart Filter, so there is a single thing to craft and nothing to unlock in stages.^[2]

The Smart Filter comes from a shaped crafting recipe that belongs to the mod itself. The pack doesn't change it. Here is the exact recipe as it works in this pack:^[2]
