Mod Menu Filter: Tag Organization and Profile Management
A Mod Menu Filter guide. Covers Mod Menu Filter 2.1.0 on Minecraft 1.21.1.
Tag Badges and List Visibility
Mod Menu Filter provides visual indicators and refined sorting for extensive mod setups. Opening the configuration screen presents "Enable Filter", which serves as the master switch for all filtering functions. When active, individual modifications display inline indicators determined by assigned categories. Players looking for a cleaner layout can activate "Compact Badges" to replace full labels with three-letter markers, while "Show Tag Badges" toggles badge visibility entirely.
Filter buttons sit above the main catalogue, allowing selective viewing by category. By default, picking several tags shows any modification matching at least one chosen tag. Enabling "Match All Selected Tags" tightens this behavior so that only entries carrying every active tag appear in the list.
Filtering and Library Protection
Large modpacks often contain numerous support libraries that crowd the interface. Activating "Auto-hide Libraries" conceals these background additions from the main directory without uninstalling them. To ensure crucial components remain discoverable when necessary, "Dependency Protection" prevents hiding any package required by visible gameplay mods.
For custom exclusion, players can input identifiers directly into "Hidden Mod IDs" or supply Java expressions into "Hide Patterns (Regex)". Turning on "Sync with Mod Menu" ensures hidden entries match the native configuration for consistent cross-session lists.
Favourites and Configuration Profiles
Important modifications can be preserved using "Favourite Mod IDs". Marked favourites ignore category hiding rules and remain visible across all search configurations.
Different modpack setups can be stored using profile controls. Entering a label into "New Profile Name" and using "Create Profile From Current Settings" generates an independent configuration snapshot. Switching configurations occurs through "Active Profile", while updates can be committed through "Save Active Profile" or discarded using "Delete Active Profile".
