[Feature Request] Item Filtering support for Conveyor Sorters #254

Open MerlinofMines opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, this is a request for new functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like Currently there is no way to change the filter mode and/or filtered items of a Conveyor sorter. It'd be nice if these could be adjusted using the item words, similar to inventories and blueprints.

It should also support the ability to filter non-vanilla items, similar to dynamic item support for inventories and blueprints.

Describe alternatives you've considered There is no scripting alternative, as the filter mode and filtered items are not expressed via block properties. You are able to set the Whitelist/Blacklist mode ("blacklistWhitelist") but not the actual items to be filtered.

I have been wondering if Sorters are even necessarily-useful blocks when one is running any sort of Inventory Management script. In my own base, I simply turned off my Refiner's Conveyor access, and have my script 'manually' push the desired ores to it, effectively negating the requirements for Sorter blocks.
