Summary

The Blank Module is the base that item modules are built from. On its own it does nothing: it is a shared foundation, and every future module is crafted from it plus the ingredients of its own role. That way all modules share one chain, and a new module is just one new recipe on top of the blank.

The Magnet Filter Module is the first module made from the blank. It goes into the module slot on the Electromagnet screen (a plain right-click with the magnet in hand) and decides which dropped items the magnet pulls. Its settings are stored on the module itself: a filter you take out carries its list into another magnet.

How the filter works

16 sample cells. Clicking a cell with an item puts a sample copy into it; the item itself stays with the player. Clicking with an empty hand clears the cell. A sample can be dragged in from JEI or REI.
List mode (middle button): "Only these" — the magnet pulls only items that match a sample; "Everything except these" — everything except the matching ones. A new filter starts in "Everything except these" mode, so an empty filter changes nothing until you put something in it.
Comparison (bottom button, one for the whole filter):
- by item — a sample matches only the same item;
- by mod — every item from the same mod;
- by category — every item in the category (tag) chosen for the sample. Shift + click on a sample cycles through its item's categories; the chosen one is marked with a green dot, and its name is in the tooltip. Until a category is chosen, the sample matches only its own item.
Durability, enchantments and other item data are ignored. The filter does not touch experience.
One filter per magnet: a second slot will not take one — two filters would only argue with each other.
A sample of an item that is not in this modpack (the mod was removed) does not break loading: the cell shows as empty and matches nothing.

Electromagnet — one module slot.
Advanced Electromagnet — three module slots.
Electronic Circuit — the heart of the blank.
Column Bore Module — the drill's module, also crafted from the blank module.
Row Bore Module — the drill's second module: the blocks to the left and right; with the column bore, a cross of five blocks.
