AE2 Search Improvements Backport
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.18.2 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Backport of the new search system in AE2 1.20.1+ for 1.18.2
Main thing in this mod is that prefixes are now per word instead of per query
that means that you can now search for @create cog like in RS instead of having to use some regex magic
new syntax:
| syntax | example |
|---|---|
| @mod | @ae2 |
| #tooltip | #channeling |
| $tag | $ingot |
| *id | *minecraft:dirt |
| name | iron ingot |
for example "@vault jewel #rarity #hammer" means jewel from vault mod with hammer and rarity in tooltip
if you want to access the old behavior for some regex magic you must prefix your search with "/o/"
ex. "/o/(?s)(?=.*jewel)(?=.*hammer)(?=.*rarity)"
