Logistical seperator tags #699

Describe the feature you'd like

Hi guys

I wanted to suggest an upgrade to the logistical sorter interface, whereby it can suggest tags, or show a list of tags it can see you currently have. This would make it quicker and easier to identify if you've spelt something wrong or an item is tagged in a non-obvious way when setting up the routing systems for the sorter.

Also a clear way to tell if your configurator is set to colour-change-mode or change-pipe-action mode could be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. making a google document of specific tags that have worked and diving into specific json files
  2. pawing through the entire mod library for specific names to test
  3. googling as many tags as I can to test
  4. brute force attempts with sobbing

Additional context

I am attempting to get an auto-sorting system going, but it has rejected all the variations I can think of along the lines of "sapling" "minecraft:sapling" and "tree" and "minecraft:harvestable:axe" to make a chest where all my saplings go - including from other mods. This kind of feature would also make it easier if the mod name and its' tag name diverge, such as with "pam's harvestcraft 2" being "pamhc2" then diverging down likes like "tree" and "crop"

  1. That's what the Dictionary item is for - sneak right click air to open the GUI and drag an item from JEI/EMI and look in the Item tags dropdown
  2. Colour change vs pipe mode depends on where you click on the pipe. There is an edge case where one side is set to NONE in that you have to change that on the pipe that was set to NONE rather than the opposite (which will do colour change since its only available surface is the centre part)

!!! thank you, it was where I was clicking that was the problem. I was always hitting items rather than clear air

is there any way to paste that info from the dictionary into the filter?

Thought so regarding the configurator, I just seem to have bad aim!

I don't think copy works unfortunately. I agree it'd be good!
