Filters

Filters allow ItemMagnets to collect only specific items.

This allows multiple ItemMagnets to operate in the same area while collecting different resources.

Why Use Filters?

Without filters:

ItemMagnet
→ Collects Everything

With filters:

ItemMagnet A
→ Cobblestone

ItemMagnet B
→ Iron

ItemMagnet C
→ Redstone

Use filters whenever multiple ItemMagnets operate in the same area.
