Usage

Installation

A filter can be installed on an itemduct or fluiduct connection by using it on the connection. It can be removed by using a wrench on it.

Configuration

An installed filter can be configured by using it. The available options depend on whether the filter is installed on an itemduct or on a fluiduct.

A filter’s configuration can be saved on a redprint to be copied to other filters, servos or retrievers.

Item filtering

When installed on an itemduct connection, it only allows items that match a configured list to pass through. It has various options that determine how this list is used to match items. Some of these are only available at higher tiers.

Blacklist/Whitelist

Treat the list of items as a blacklist (allow all items except these) or as a whitelist (only allow these items). The list is used as a blacklist by default.

Metadata

Match items by their exact metadata / damage value. This is used by default.

NBT

Match items by their exact NBT data. This is used by default.

Ore Dictionary

Match items that are considered equivalent, like the various versions of copper and tin ingots added by different mods. This is ignored by default.

Mod Owner

Match items that are added by the same mod. This is ignored by default.

A filter can be configured to allow over-sending. By default, an itemduct takes items that are already moving towards a destination into account when determining whether more items can be sent there. Using a filter, this can be disabled for a particular destination.

A filter can also be configured to limit the total stored amount of an item in the connected block. This option is only available at higher tiers, and its maximum value depends on the tier. By default, any amount of items is allowed.

Fluid filtering

When installed on a fluiduct connection, it only allows fluids that match a configured list to pass through. It has various options that determine how this list is used to match items.

Blacklist/Whitelist

Treat the list of fluids as a blacklist (allow all fluids except these) or as a whitelist (only allow these fluids). The list is used as a blacklist by default.

NBT

Match fluids by their exact NBT data. This is used by default.

Tiers

Filters come in five tiers.
