Autocrafting

Autocraftable resources can be crafted by clicking the resource, or by using CTRL + click if the resource is already available. This opens the autocrafting preview.

In the preview, you can:

  • Adjust the amount to craft.

  • View a live simulation of the crafting steps.

  • Click Max to craft the maximum possible amount.

  • Enable Notify to receive a notification when the task is complete.

Searching

Use the text box at the top of the Grid to search. You can just type words to search for resources with that name in your storage network.

However, the search is more powerful than that, supporting an entire query language with syntax highlighting.

  • You may use logical operators like && (AND) and || (OR) .

  • You may use parentheses to group expressions.

  • You may use following unary operators:

    • ! (NOT)

    • Search by mod name with @

    • Search in tags with #

    • Search in tooltips with $

    • >, <, >=, ⇐ for amount comparisons

Search box autoselected

The Grid can be configured to automatically select the search bar when opening it.

The autoselected mode applies to all Grids and is stored on the client for each player.

Recipe viewer synchronization

The search box can be configured to synchronize with the recipe viewer search box, one-way (from the Grid to the recipe viewer) or two-way synchronization.

Remember search query

The Grid can be configured to remember the search query when closing and re-opening the Grid. You can do this by modifying the rememberSearchQuery config option.

Sorting

The resources in a Grid can be sorted in a ascending or descending manner in various ways:

  • By name

  • By quantity

  • By ID

  • Last modified

The sorting type applies to all Grids and is stored on the client for each player.

Display

Autocraftable resources

Resources that can be autocrafted are shown with an orange-tinted background, making them easy to identify at a glance.

Even if the corresponding Pattern is only in your inventory and not yet inserted into an Autocrafter, the resource will still be marked as autocraftable.

View type

The Grid can be configured to only show autocraftable resources or only show non-autocraftable resources.

The view type applies to all Grids and is stored on the client for each player.

Resource type

The Grid can be configured to only show certain resource types. By default, all resource types are shown.

Size

The size of any Grid can be changed:

Type Description

Stretched

The Grid will take up all the vertical screen space.

Small

3 rows

Medium

5 rows

Large

8 rows

Extra large

12 rows

When choosing the stretched size, the Grid will take up all the vertical screen space. This can be limited through the maxRowsStretch config option.

The size applies to all Grids and is stored on the client for each player.

Detailed tooltips

By default, the tooltips for resources in a Grid are a little bit bigger to display the total amount and the last modified information. This can be turned off by using the detailedTooltip config option.

Other configuration

By default, the Grid uses a small font size to display resource amounts. Use the largeFont config option to change this.

The scrollbar uses smooth-scrolling, if you prefer regular scrolling you can use the smoothScrolling config option.

Prevent sorting while shift is down

By default, the Grid doesn’t sort when you are inserting and extracting resources from the network. As soon as you stop pressing the SHIFT key, the view is sorted again.

To disable this behavior, modify the preventSortingWhileShiftIsDown config option.

Redstone mode

The Grid can be set to operate only when a specific redstone state is met.

  • Ignore – Always active, regardless of redstone.

  • High – Only works when receiving a redstone signal.

  • Low – Only works when no redstone signal is present.

Connection with other storage network devices

The Grid connects to all adjacent blocks except the one in the direction it is facing.

Colored Grids connect to any other color.

Recoloring

You can recolor the Grid in 2 ways:

  • While crouching, using a dye on the Grid

  • Combining the block with a dye as a crafting recipe
