Sift blocks through a sieve to get drops. The sieve is data-driven with what can be sieved and what it drops are controlled by tags and loot tables for easy use in modpacks or other mods. ## Features - A craftable sieve block - 6 craftable mesh tiers - String - Copper - Iron - Gold - Diamond - Netherite - Each mesh has its own loot table, so better meshes can give better drops - Fully configurable through tags and loot tables - Several fun easter eggs ## How to use 1. Place the sieve 2. Right-click it with a mesh to install it. Right-click with another mesh to swap 3. Right-click it with a sieveable block 4. Keep right-clicking to sift 5. Repeat ## Upcoming - Better Data-driven usages - Less restrictive namespace pathways ![Display of all the crafting recipes](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/113e0e997f3927c88ff3ad8b7da14d12b209a523.png)

For modpack and mod developers

Le Sieve uses two tags and one loot table path. Everything lives in the `le-sieve` namespace. ### 1. What can be sieved: `le-sieve:sieveable` (block tag) Add any block to this tag and its item can be loaded into the sieve. `data/le-sieve/tags/block/sieveable.json` ```json { "values": [ "minecraft:dirt", "minecraft:gravel" ] } ``` Only blocks that have an item will work ### 2. Which items work as meshes: `le-sieve:sieve_meshes` (item tag) Built-in meshes are in this tag by default. `data/le-sieve/tags/item/sieve_meshes.json` ```json { "values": [ "le-sieve:string_mesh", "le-sieve:iron_mesh" ] } ``` The tag decides what can be inserted. The mesh shown in the sieve comes from a custom item class, so a mesh from another mod needs to be built on `SieveMeshItem` to render correctly. Other items in the tag will be stored but won't render. ### 3. What it drops: sieve loot tables For each sieveable block, add a loot table at: ``` data/le-sieve/loot_table/sieve/.json ``` `` is the path of the block's item id with no namespace. Dirt is `dirt.json`, so `minecraft:dirt` uses `data/le-sieve/loot_table/sieve/dirt.json`. Rules: - The table type must be `minecraft:block`. Any other type is ignored and the block is consumed with no drops. - The mesh used is passed as the tool. Use a `minecraft:match_tool` condition on each pool to give each mesh its own drops. - A missing or empty table is logged and the material is consumed without dropping anything. - The table is always looked up in the `le-sieve` namespace using only the item's path. Two blocks from different mods with the same path would share a table. Example: dirt with the string mesh drops a stick, leather, or nothing (weights 30 / 30 / 5). ```json { "type": "minecraft:block", "pools": [ { "condition": { "type": "minecraft:match_tool", "predicate": { "items": "le-sieve:string_mesh" } }, "entries": [ { "type": "minecraft:item", "modifier": { "type": "minecraft:set_count", "count": { "type": "minecraft:uniform", "max": 1, "min": 1 } }, "name": "minecraft:stick", "weight": 30 }, { "type": "minecraft:item", "modifier": { "type": "minecraft:set_count", "count": { "type": "minecraft:uniform", "max": 1, "min": 1 } }, "name": "minecraft:leather", "weight": 30 }, { "type": "minecraft:empty", "weight": 5 } ], "rolls": 1 } ] } ``` Add one pool per mesh. Pools whose condition doesn't match the installed mesh are skipped. To make a pool apply to several meshes, match on the tag instead. ### Generating loot tables with datagen If you use Fabric datagen, you don't need to write the JSON by hand. The mod's `SieveLootTableProvider` includes public static helpers that you can reuse from your own provider | Helper | What it does | | --- | --- | | `sieveDrop(item, weight)` | A drop of exactly 1 item at the given weight | | `sieveDrop(item, weight, min, max)` | A drop with a random count between `min` and `max` | | `sieveEmpty()` | A "nothing drops" entry at weight 5 | | `sieveEmpty(weight)` | A "nothing drops" entry at a custom weight | Each helper returns a `LootPoolEntryContainer.Builder` that you pass to a pool's `.add(...)`. Example: a gravel table where the iron mesh drops flint (sometimes 2) or nothing, and the gold mesh drops flint or gold nuggets. ```java biConsumer.accept(ResourceKey.create(Registries.LOOT_TABLE, LeSieveMod.Id("sieve/gravel")), GravelBuilder(itemLookUp)); private LootTable.@NotNull Builder GravelBuilder(HolderLookup.RegistryLookup itemLookUp) { LootTable.Builder builder = LootTable.lootTable().setParamSet(LootContextParamSets.BLOCK).withPool(LootPool.lootPool().setRolls(ContextIntProviders.exactly(1)) .add(sieveDrop(Items.FLINT, 40, 1, 2)) .add(sieveEmpty(10)) .when(MatchTool.toolMatches(ItemPredicate.Builder.item().of(itemLookUp, LeSieveItems.IRON_MESH)))); builder.withPool(LootPool.lootPool().setRolls(ContextIntProviders.exactly(1)) .add(sieveDrop(Items.FLINT, 30)) .add(sieveDrop(Items.GOLD_NUGGET, 10)) .add(sieveEmpty()) .when(MatchTool.toolMatches(ItemPredicate.Builder.item().of(itemLookUp, LeSieveItems.GOLD_MESH)))); return builder; } ``` Things to remember: - The loot table key must be `le-sieve:sieve/`. The sieve looks it up in that namespace, and the file is generated under `data/le-sieve/loot_table/sieve/`. - The table's parameter set must be `LootContextParamSets.BLOCK`. - Match the mesh with `MatchTool` and the mesh item. The pool applies only when that mesh is installed.
