TrainCarts/Signs/Items

Introduction

You can define items on multiple signs, including transfer, crafter, switcher and detector signs. All of them use the same syntax to parse items. Items are delimited by ;-signs and can be defined using multiple syntax rules.

The first number, if followed up by a space, x, or *, defines the amount of that item. Then the name, or type, of the item is defined. This can be done using the actual name or the item index value. Finally the sub-index is defined. You can use a characteristic word for the item type. For example, when you need a certain type of wool, you can use :red. You can also define the sub-index directly.

Metadata

Some metadata rules can be specified after $ to filter specific items. Metadata names if specified on their own checks for existence, but can be followed up by an operator > < >= <= == != to do comparisons.

Examples

Text	Explanation
DIAMOND_SWORD$damage==0	An undamaged diamond sword (full durability)
FILLED_MAP$map>0	Map items with a map id greater than 0
STICK$name	Stick items that have a custom name set
STICK$name==Sticky	Stick items with name 'Sticky'

Available Rules

Metadata	Explanation
damage	Damage value (swords, tools). 0 is undamaged.
name	Custom item name, if set
custom_model_data	Custom model data value
map	Map ID
-anything-	Any other names are compared with the custom NBT data of the item

Item Shortcuts

In case you need to specify a lot of items at once (but the sign lacks space for it), you can define Item Shortcuts in the config.yml. By default, shortcuts for armor, weaponry, fuel, heatable and some others are defined there.

Examples

Text	Result
wood	All wood
slab:1	Sandstone slab
5 stone	5 stone
5xstone
5Xstone
5*stone
6x5	6 of type 5 (wood)
wool:red	All red wool
6xstairs:stone	6 stone stairs
5*35:4	5 yellow wool
5 wool	5 wool of any color
fuel	an item shortcut set in the configuration
