Sophisticated Core in Project Infinity 0.1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

Sophisticated Core is included in this pack at version 1.0.5, shipped as the Minecraft 1.21.1 build sophisticatedcore-1.21.1-1.0.5.813.jar. It has been in the pack since version 0.32 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.^[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. They also don't show it on the ATM Star path or tied to any quests, so I'm not making claims about those. Check back once more detail is available.

In this pack, the only Sophisticated Core item with a recipe is the Ender Linker. So your first craft from this mod is simple: make that one.^[2][3]

Step 1: Craft the Ender Linker

This is the in-pack recipe for the Ender Linker, a shaped crafting recipe from the mod.

The pack has the Ender Linker switched on in common.enabledItems. That option is a list of enabled items, and the comment in the file says disabling an item there disables its recipes. The same list also enables a long run of Sophisticated Backpacks and Sophisticated Storage items, so those recipes are not disabled here either.^[3]

Step 2: Learn the storage screen

Sophisticated Core's language file holds the screen and settings text for the backpack and storage screens, so what you learn here applies to both. Here is what that text shows you can do.^[4]

• Sort the contents with the Sort Inventory button. The sort options are By Count, By Mod, By Name and By Tags.^[4]
• Move items between your inventory and the storage with Transfer to Storage and Transfer to Inventory. The Matching versions only move items that match, and the tooltip says to hold Shift to transfer all.^[4]
• Search the contents. If you want the search kept between visits, the settings have a Keep Search Phrase toggle.^[4]
• Turn on Keep Tab Open if you want the screen to reopen the upgrade tab you last used.^[4]

Upgrades have rules too. For example, the game will tell you if all upgrade slots need to be empty before an upgrade can be added, or if only a single copy of an upgrade is allowed. If an upgrade won't go in, read the error message on screen.^[4]

Sophisticated Core doesn't add machines, multiblocks or power networks of its own that the sources describe. What the sources do show is the shared screen and settings that backpacks and storages use, the rules for fitting upgrades, and one item of its own, the Ender Linker. That's what this section covers.^[3][4]

Sorting, searching and moving items

The inventory screen has a Sort Inventory button, and you can sort by count, by mod, by name or by tags. There is also a search box: click it to search, and start with an @ prefix to search by mod name. If nothing matches, the screen tells you no items match the search.^[4]

Transfer buttons move items between your inventory and the storage. There are plain versions (Transfer to Inventory, Transfer to Storage) and matching versions (Transfer Matching to Inventory, Transfer Matching to Storage), which only move stacks that match.^[4]

Two toggles change how the screen behaves between visits. Keep Search Phrase decides whether the search text is kept and used to pre-filter when you reopen the screen. Keep Tab Open decides whether the last open upgrade tab opens again next time.^[4]

Another toggle controls shift-click. With Shift Click Into Open Tab First, a shift-clicked stack tries an open upgrade tab before the inventory or storage. With Shift Click Into Inventory First, it does the reverse.^[4]

Slot settings

• Memory: select slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. Left click or drag selects a slot, right click or drag unselects it, and there are Select All and Unselect All buttons.^[4]
• No Sort: select slots that sorting ignores. It's selected the same way as Memory.^[4]
• Item Display: pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage. You can show it on the front, left or right side, rotate it (left click is clockwise, right click is counter-clockwise), change its depth, and toggle its color.^[4]

There is also a Player context for settings. Player-level settings apply to all backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them.^[4]

Saving settings as templates

You can save your settings to a numbered slot and load them back later, scrolling to change the slot. You can also give a slot a custom name. If the saved settings are too big for a storage, you get a message that they don't fit.^[4]

Exporting writes the settings out as a data pack containing an snbt file. You enter a file name, which can't be empty or contain invalid characters.^[4]

Upgrade tabs and install rules

Upgrades live in tabs you open and close from the side of the screen. Each upgrade has an on/off switch that can read ON, OFF or INACTIVE. The advanced upgrades with their own settings tabs include Adv. Alchemy, Adv. Compacting, Adv. Feeding, Adv. Filter and Jukebox. The language source I have is cut off, so this isn't the full list.^[4]

The game checks upgrades when you add or remove them and tells you why one is refused. These are the rules I can confirm from those messages:^[4]

• Battery: only one Battery Upgrade at a time. If the backpack's maximum energy is too low, you need to upgrade the backpack or add a stack multiplier.^[4]
• Tank: when two Tank Upgrades are already in other upgrade slots, you can't add another. If capacity is too low, you need a better backpack or a stack multiplier.^[4]
• Some upgrades can only be used one at a time, or only a set number of times, in a given container. Others aren't allowed in it at all.^[4]
• Some upgrades need items to be absent from the last inventory slots. The message tells you an item is in at least one of the slots the upgrade needs.^[4]
• Removing: a banned item must be taken out before its upgrade can be removed. A stack upgrade can't be removed if some slot or upgrade needs a higher stack limit than the lower multiplier gives.^[4]

The Ender Linker

The Ender Linker is the one item in this pack that belongs to Sophisticated Core itself. Its status messages show what it checks when you use it on a storage: the storage may already be linked, may have contents, may be incompatible with the linked storage group, or may not be linkable at all.^[3][4]

Unverified How the Ender Linker is used step by step, and what linked storages share, isn't explained by the sources I have.

Enabling and disabling items

In this pack, common.enabledItems is a list of items with a true or false flag each, and its comment says disabling an item disables its recipes. The list covers items from Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks as well as the Ender Linker, and every entry is set to true in this pack.^[3]

The only recipe in the pack's recipe dump that makes a Sophisticated Core item is the Ender Linker. It is a shaped crafting recipe, and the dump labels it as coming from the mod itself.^[2]

This is the one Sophisticated Core item with a recipe in the dump, and it is marked as a mod recipe.

The dump lists no other recipes for Sophisticated Core, so the sources here give no tiers to climb through. The Ender Linker is the only crafted item they show.^[2]

Sophisticated Core only has a handful of options in this pack, split between a common file and a client file. Here is how the pack sets each one. The sources only show the pack's values, not the mod's defaults, so I can't say which of these the pack changed.^[3][5]

Common file: which items are enabled

common.enabledItems is the big one. It is a list of entries written as an item id, a pipe, then true or false, and the file notes that switching an item off also disables its recipes.^[3]

In this pack every entry in the list is set to true, so nothing is switched off. The list covers items from the Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks namespaces, plus Ender Linker from the core mod itself.^[3]

Client file: interface options

• client.sortButtonsPosition is set to "TITLE_LINE_RIGHT". The allowed values are TITLE_LINE_RIGHT, BELOW_UPGRADES, BELOW_UPGRADE_TABS and HIDDEN. The option exists to help with conflicts with controls from other mods, so move the buttons if they overlap something.^[5]
• client.mouseTweaksScrollEnabled is set to true. This means scrolling in inventory is handled by the Mouse Tweaks mod if it is in the pack.^[5]
• client.playButtonSound is set to true, so a click sound plays when you press custom buttons in the GUI.^[5]
