TrashSlot in FTB Skies 2

Same as in the All the Mods 10 6.6 guide

TrashSlot is part of this pack's mod list, version 21.1.8, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been included since pack version 2.25 or earlier.^[1]

Unverified The available sources don't describe what TrashSlot does, who it is for, or how it works in this pack. The name suggests a slot in your inventory for throwing away items, but that is unconfirmed. They also don't show whether it has any recipes, config changes or a place in the pack's progression.

TrashSlot is the easiest thing to set up in this pack, because there is nothing to craft. The pack's quest book covers it in the quest "Inventory Trashcan!" quest, which sits in the "Useful Items & Tips" chapter (chapter 2 of 41). Its task is just a checkmark, not an item to hand in.^[2]

Step 1: Open your inventory and press T

While you are in your inventory, hit T to toggle the inventory trash slot. This is the first thing to learn, because everything else depends on the slot being visible.^[2]

1. Open your inventory and press T to show the trash slot.^[2]
2. Use the Delete key to throw things away instantly.^[2]
3. Use Shift+Delete to delete several stacks at once.^[2]

There is also a Trash Bin icon in the top left of your inventory that you can use instead. If you prefer typing, the /trashcan command opens it as well.^[2]

Step 2: Know the keybinds

TrashSlot adds its own keybinds under a TrashSlot category in the controls menu. They are named Delete Item, Delete All Items of Type, Show/Hide TrashSlot and Lock/Unlock TrashSlot. If you want different keys than the ones in the quest, that is where to change them.^[3]

Step 3: Lock it when you are being careful

You can lock the trash slot and unlock it again with the Lock/Unlock keybind. The mod shows a message when the slot is locked, and another when it is unlocked, telling you which key to press to switch back.^[3]

Some items cannot be trashed at all. If you try, you will see the message "Item cannot be trashed!"^[3]

Unverified Which items are on the deletion deny list in this pack, and whether the pack changes any TrashSlot defaults, could not be confirmed from the available sources.

Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide

Nothing in the sources shows machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for TrashSlot, so there is no machine setup to learn here. What the mod's language file does confirm is a trash slot on supported screens, plus keybinds for getting rid of items. This section covers just that.^[4]

Keybinds

TrashSlot adds its own keybind category, called TrashSlot, with the following keybinds.^[4]

• Delete Item: deletes an item.^[4]
• Delete All Items of Type: deletes all items of the same type.^[4]
• Show/Hide TrashSlot: toggles whether the trash slot is visible.^[4]
• Lock/Unlock TrashSlot: locks or unlocks the trash slot.^[4]

In-game hints

The mod talks to you with short messages. If a supported screen can have the trash slot enabled, you get a prompt telling you which key enables it. If you toggle the slot off yourself, you get a message telling you which key brings it back. Locking and unlocking also show a message naming the key that does the opposite.^[4]

The enableHints option controls this. According to its tooltip, TrashSlot shows a hint the first time the trash slot is toggled off or can be enabled on a supported screen, and setting it to false disables the hints.^[4]

If you try to trash something that is protected, you see "Item cannot be trashed!".^[4]

Options the mod offers

The language file includes tooltips for several configuration options, which tell us what each one does in the mod.^[4]

• instantDeletion: makes the deletion slot delete items instantly, similar to Creative Mode.^[4]
• deletionDenyList: a list of items that cannot be deleted, written as comma-separated "modid:name" entries.^[4]
• allowDeletionWhileTrashSlotIsInvisible: lets the deletion keybinds work even when the trash slot is hidden. The tooltip says this is not recommended.^[4]
• enableDeleteKeysInCreative: makes the delete keybinds work in creative as well. Items are deleted permanently in creative, regardless of the instantDeletion setting.^[4]
• enableHints: controls the hint messages described above.^[4]

Unverified The values this pack uses for TrashSlot's options, including which items are on the deny list, are set in the mod's configuration, and the sources here do not show them. Do not assume the mod's defaults apply.

There is no tier ladder to climb here. In this pack the trash slot is covered by a single quest, "Inventory Trashcan!" quest, and its only task is a checkmark, so there is nothing to craft or upgrade to complete it.^[2]

The quest sits in the "Useful Items & Tips" chapter, which is chapter 2 of 41 in the quest book and holds 29 quests. The chapter's intro quest, "Tips & Tricks!" quest, says it collects useful items and tips for your playthrough.^[2]

What the quest teaches you

• Press T while in your inventory to toggle the inventory trash slot.^[2]
• Press the Delete key to throw things away instantly, or Shift+Delete to delete several stacks at once.^[2]
• You can also use the Trash Bin icon in the top left of your inventory.^[2]
• The trash can can also be opened with the /trashcan command.^[2]

TrashSlot has one quest in the pack's quest book: "Inventory Trashcan!" quest. It sits in the "Useful Items & Tips" chapter, which is chapter 2 of 41 in the book and holds 29 quests.^[2]

Inventory Trashcan!

The task here is a checkmark rather than an item, so there is nothing to craft or hand in. The quest just teaches you how the trash slot works.^[2]

• Hit T while in your inventory to toggle the inventory trash slot.^[2]
• Press the Delete key to throw things away instantly, or Shift+Delete to delete several stacks at once.^[2]
• Use the Trash Bin icon in the top left of your inventory as another way to trash items.^[2]
• Run the /trashcan command to access it that way too.^[2]

The rest of the chapter

The chapter is a grab bag of handy gear. Its intro quest, "Tips & Tricks!" quest, describes it as a place with plenty of useful items and tips for your playthrough. Other quests there cover things like "Explorer's Compass" quest, "Simple Magnets" quest and "Tool Belt" quest.^[2]
