Search box filters

Mod ID or name

Prefix your search query with @ followed by the mod ID or name to only show items of said mod.

You can also give search terms after that, so it’ll only display certain items of that mod.

For example:

Tooltip

Prefix your search query with # followed by the tooltip text to search for.

Ore dictionary (Refined Storage 1.6.x or lower)

Prefix your search query with $ followed by the ore dictionary name.

For example: $ingot will only show ingots, because those are listed as ingotIron, ingotGold, …​ in the ore dictionary.

Tags (Refined Storage 1.7.x or higher)

Prefix your search query with $ followed by the tag name.

For example: $gem will show all items marked as a gem in the item tags.

Searching multiple items

You can use the | symbol to search for multiple items at once.

For example: to look for ingots and dirt, use: ingot|dirt.

Search box history

Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the search box history.

Filter

In the sidebar of the Grid there are slots where the player can insert filters to filter certain items in the Grid.

Tabs

A Grid can also have tabs. When clicking on the tab, only items configured in the Filter are visible.

To use tabs in the Grid, make a Filter with an icon specified.

To have more than 4 tabs, put a Filter in a Filter.

Sizes

The size of any Grid can be configured as well:

  • Stretched (default)

  • Small

  • Medium

  • Large

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

Display

The Grid can be configured to only show craftable items or only non-craftable items.

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

By default, the Grid uses a small font size to display item or fluid quantities. Use the largeFont config option to change this.

Remember search query

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

Prevent sorting while shift is down

By default, the Grid doesn’t perform sorting when you’re shift clicking items out of the storage network. This is done to prevent items and fluids shifting around your screen.

As soon as you stop pressing the shift key, the view is sorted again.

To disable this behavior, modify the preventSortingWhileShiftIsDown config option.

Recoloring

You can recolor the Grid in 2 ways:

  • Using a dye on the Grid

  • Combining the block with a dye as a crafting recipe
