About this project

What does Smart Filter add?

📦 Smart Filter The ultimate inventory management utility for organized adventurers.

Filter

Tired of your inventory filling up with cobblestone, dirt, seeds, and junk while mining or farming? Smart Filter is a lightweight, high-performance utility mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that gives you full control over what items you pick up.

With the Smart Filter item, you decide exactly what enters your inventory — no more manual cleanup.


✨ FEATURES

  • Visual GUI Interface Clean and intuitive Simple Chest–style interface with a 9-slot filter bar.

  • Ghost Slot System Configure your filter without consuming items. Click an item into the GUI and the filter remembers it — the item stays in your hand.

  • Whitelist & Blacklist Modes Instantly switch between: • Whitelist (Green): pick up ONLY selected items • Blacklist (Red): pick up EVERYTHING except selected items

  • High Performance & Lightweight Built using Minecraft 1.21 Data Components and NeoForge TriState logic. Zero lag, even in large modpacks.

  • Multiple Filters Support Carry multiple Smart Filters at once: • One for mining • One for farming • One for building All active simultaneously.

  • Duplicate Protection The filter automatically prevents duplicate entries and keeps everything organized.


🎮 HOW TO USE

Opening & Configuring:

  • Hold the Smart Filter and Right-Click while standing.
  • Add items: Click an item into one of the 9 slots.
  • Remove items: Click the slot with an empty hand.
  • Items are registered visually only — nothing is consumed.

Switching Modes:

  • Hold the filter and Shift + Right-Click.
  • Whitelist Mode: pick up ONLY listed items.
  • Blacklist Mode: pick up everything EXCEPT listed items.

Automatic Filtering:

  • Keep the Smart Filter anywhere in your inventory.
  • Allowed items are picked up automatically.
  • Blocked items stay on the ground.

💡 PRO TIP

You can quick-configure items directly in the world: Hold the filter and Shift + Right-Click on a block to add or remove it from the filter instantly — no GUI needed.
