Item Filters in Project Infinity 0.1

This pack includes Item Filters 2001.1.0-build.59, and it has been in the pack since version 0.0.45.4 or earlier. The mod adds filter items such as OR Filter and Tag Filter. The quest book asks you to hand them in as quest tasks.^[1][2]

Where it sits in the quest book

Two of the chapters shown here use these filters, and both are in the "Storage and Power" group. The first is "Nuclear Energy", chapter 21 of 44 in the book, with 58 quests. Filters appear as task items in several spots:^[2]

• "Uranium and Thorium" quest asks for Tag Filters, and "Fission Fuel" quest asks for 64 OR Filters. The second comes right after a quest in "Nuclear Energy" and leads on to "Fission Reactor" quest.^[2]
• a quest in "Nuclear Energy" comes after a quest in "Nuclear Energy". It asks for 64 OR Filters alongside accelerator parts, and a quest in "Nuclear Energy" follows it.^[2]

The second is "Functional storage", chapter 23 of 44, with 24 quests. There, "Drawer 1x1" quest, "Drawer 2x1" quest, "Drawer 2x2" quest and "Compacting Drawers" quest each ask for an OR Filter. a quest in "Functional storage" comes after the first three of those drawer quests.^[3]

Unverified The sources here do not show how other chapters that mention Item Filters (such as Mekanism, Botania and Applied Energistics 2) use it, and they do not show the mod on the ATM Star quest path. Check those chapters in the quest book.

Item Filters adds a set of filter items that each match items by a different rule. Getting started is mostly about knowing which one to craft first, and in this pack that is the Always True Filter.^[4][5]

Step 1: make your first filter

Nearly every other filter recipe in the pack asks for a filter you already own. The Always True Filter is the exception, so it is your entry point. One craft gives you 8 of them, and it matches all items.^[4][5]

Step 2: craft the filters you need

After that, the other filters are crafted from any item in the filters tag. Each craft gives a different number of filters. These are the ones you will probably want first:^[4]

• Tag Filter: you get 6 per craft. It takes tag names such as 'minecraft:wool'.^[4][5]
• Mod Filter: you get 5 per craft. It works from a mod ID.^[4][5]
• OR Filter: you get 6 per craft. One of the filters inside it must match.^[4][5]
• NOT Filter: you get 3 per craft. It inverts a filter.^[4][5]

Step 3: combine and refine

Once you are comfortable with the basics, you can build more precise rules. The AND Filter needs every filter to match, and the XOR Filter needs one of two to match but not both. The Block Filter checks whether an item is a block. The Damage Filter and Max Count Filter check item damage and max stack size, and the ID RegEx Filter checks the item ID with a regular expression.^[5]

The Custom Filter needs a mod or a script, usually KubeJS, to make it work, so skip it until you have one. The Always False Filter matches no items.^[5]

In the quest book

You will run into these items in the quest book as task items. The quest "Gateway" quest in "Useful mods and Items" (chapter 3 of 44) has a task for the Mod Filter. The quest a quest in "AllTheModium" in the "AllTheModium" chapter (Production group, chapter 36 of 44) asks for the OR Filter and comes after the Vibranium template quest.^[6][7]

Unverified The sources do not list which items belong to the itemfilters:filters tag, so it is unconfirmed whether an Always True Filter can be used as the starting ingredient for the other filter recipes.

Item Filters adds a set of filter items, and each one describes a group of items. Think of every filter as a tiny rule that you can combine with others. The sources for this mod show filter items and their screen text, so that is what this section covers.^[4][5]

Basic filters

Two filters are the simplest possible rules. Always True Filter matches all items and Always False Filter matches no items. They are handy as placeholders or for testing a setup.^[5]

Filters that check one thing

• Tag Filter uses tag names, and its description gives 'minecraft:wool' and 'forge:cobblestone' as examples.^[5]
• Mod Filter works from a mod ID.^[5]
• Block Filter checks whether the item is a block.^[5]
• ID RegEx Filter checks the item ID with a regular expression. The on-screen help says the expression is matched against the item ID, and that "^minecraft:" matches all vanilla items.^[5]
• Damage Filter checks item damage. The help text says you can add relational operators such as "<10" or ">=5", and optionally a percentage such as ">50%".^[5]
• Max Count Filter checks the item's maximum stack size. The help text gives "<64" and ">=16" as examples of relational operators.^[5]

Combining filters with logic

The logic filters combine other filters. This is how you build more precise rules.^[5]

• AND Filter: all filters must match.^[5]
• OR Filter: one of the filters must match.^[5]
• XOR Filter: one of two filters must match, but not both.^[5]
• NOT Filter: inverts a filter.^[5]

Filter slots in the screen are labelled "Filter (Right-Click to clear)", so right-clicking a slot empties it. Some text fields also show a variants list. The help text says Tab, the scroll wheel and the cursor up and down keys adjust the highlight, and Enter selects the highlighted entry.^[5]

NBT and custom filters

The mod also has two NBT filters. NBT Filter (Strong) matches if the entire NBT is equal. NBT Filter (Weak) matches if only the specified part of the NBT is present, and the help text says any other fields in the item are ignored. Both take an NBT string written like { text:"hello", value: 1, active: true }.^[5]

Custom Filter does nothing on its own. Its description says it requires a mod or a script, usually KubeJS, to make it work.^[5]

Crafting filters

The filter recipes listed for this pack are all mod recipes. Apart from the paper and wool recipe for Always True, each one takes a filter as its input, so you need one filter before you can make the rest.^[4]

Item Filters has no tier ladder in this pack. The recipe dump shows every filter as a single crafting recipe, so there is no chain of upgrades to climb. What you get is a short crafting path, plus a handful of quests that ask you for filters.^[4]

Crafting path

The recipe dump lists all of these as the mod's own recipes, so nothing here is shown as changed by the pack. Nearly every filter is crafted from any item in the filters tag. The exception is Always True Filter, which uses paper and wool, so it is where you start.^[4]

• Mod Filter and Max Count Filter make 5 each.^[4]
• Always False Filter, Block Filter and Damage Filter make 4 each.^[4]

• AND Filter and XOR Filter make 2 each.^[4]

Where the quest book uses filters

Filter items show up as quest tasks in several chapters, so you will meet them as you work through those.^[2][6][7][8]

• The Applied Energistics 2 chapter (group Storage and Power) has a quest, a quest in "Applied Energistics 2", whose task is to hand in an OR Filter. It follows the Inscriber Preses quest.^[4][8]
• In the Nuclear Energy chapter (group Storage and Power), both tasks of "Uranium and Thorium" quest ask you to hand in Tag Filter items. "Fission Fuel" quest asks for OR Filter items and follows the Isotope Separator quest.^[2][4]
• In the AllTheModium chapter (group Production), the quest book has you hand in an OR Filter for "ATM Tools" quest, which follows the Allthemodium Template quest.^[4][6]
• In the Useful mods and Items chapter, the task of "Gateway" quest is to hand in a Mod Filter.^[4][7]

Several quests in the AE2 Addons chapter also ask for an OR Filter. Part of that chapter is not shown in the sources here, so check the quest book for the rest.^[4][9]

In this pack's quest book, some quests ask you to hand in an OR Filter or an Tag Filter as a task item. The sections below go through those chapters in book order and say what each quest asks for.^[2][7][8]

Nuclear Energy (Storage and Power, chapter 21)

This chapter has the most Item Filters quests. They run through the fission, fusion and particle accelerator lines.^[2]

• After the reactor: "Moderators" quest asks for a Tag Filter. "Heat Sinks" quest asks for an OR Filter, and "Active Heat Sinks" quest follows it and asks for one too.^[2]
• Fusion: "Fusion Reactor Chamber" quest and "Electromagnets" quest each ask for 64 Tag Filters. "Getting ready" quest is the checklist that follows Electromagnets.^[2]

ProjectE (Production, chapter 32)

"Klein Stars" quest asks for a Tag Filter and follows the Transmutation Table quest. "Power Flower" quest and "EMC Link" quest ask for one as well.^[13]

AllTheModium (Production, chapter 36)

The OR Filter quests here come after the smithing template quests. "ATM Tools" quest follows "Allthemodium Template" quest, and "ATM Alloy tools" quest comes last, after Unobtainium tools, ATM Tools and the OR Filter quest. Each one asks for an OR Filter.^[6]

Unverified The other chapters that may use Item Filters could not be checked here: 20 of the 79 Botania quests, plus Smelters, The Beginning, Mystical Agriculture, PneumaticCraft, Woot ?!?, Neo ECO AE Extension and JustDireThings. Their quest text is in the quest book.
