Configure Metadata Checking for Similar Items

Understanding Metadata in Item Counts

Some items in Minecraft have variants that share the same base item type but differ in properties like color, damage, or enchantment level. Metadata checking determines whether the mod counts these variants separately or together.

1. Open the mod's configuration menu

2. Find the metadata check toggle or option

3. Enable it to count item variants separately (e.g., different colored wool as different items)

4. Disable it to count all variants of an item together (e.g., all wool as one total)

When to Use Each Setting

Enable metadata checks if you need precise tracking of specific item variants — useful when sorting materials by color or tracking damaged tools separately.

Disable metadata checks for a simpler total count that groups all similar items together, reducing visual clutter.

Your choice depends on how detailed your inventory management needs to be. You can toggle this setting at any time to adjust your tracking preferences.
