[REQUEST] Item categorization

[Akxe]

I have a proposal to help a lot of players new to any mod!

Item categorization

Every mod creator would have the option to specify categories/hashes to his mod items. I think that this mod should have a category registry with many predefined categories. The category registry should other mods to create new categories too.

An item can have more than 1 category (glowstone should for example be #block and #light).

Search by item category

The search input would have now a button by its left that would display all used categories. A more experienced user could write the categories directly.

Search syntax

Any # falowed by non-space and non-hash characters would be considered a category that will narrow the search. Invalid categories are highlighted (in red?) until finished/corrected.

• Categories are case-insensitive
• String #block#light is the same as #block#light

Example

I want to compare item transportation options in my modpack. I write #item-transport to the filter and it lists all item pipes from the Thermal, item pipe from Pipez, hopper from Minecraft, belt from Create (modpack Create: Above and Beyond).

---

This addition would help greatly to compare item and block of the same category:

• One may be in the early game and looks for storage options available to him at the time
• Other might need a faster item transportation method
• Comparing player interaction options?

I do think that players would quickly find a reason to use this and it could really help new players to get started in modpack.
