Ender-Vacuum bag

I was thinking while mining with my Botania Terra Shatterer (love that thing) that I wish there was something I could use to send my ores back home.

The Ender-Vacuum bag would suck in items that you pick up if they match an item filter. One thing that would need to be added is an OreDictionary item filter with wildcards, that way I could just add "ore*", "gem*", "dust*", and any other items I need to send home automatically.

The reason it's an Ender Vacuum bag would be you could link it to a special block and it would act akin to the ender pouch, meaning I could have all my ores sent to a processing system back home.

I like it. ItemHelper in cofhcore has a way to check if something is an ore. That might help

I think this would work best if the receiving end wasn't a new chest, but you could link to any existing Iinventory block. I don't see the need for new ender-like chest, and integration with existing storage systems would be nice

Sounds good to me.

If it is easier, the receiving end could just be a tesseract like item. Something you can't see a GUI on, but is able to feed items out

[joekaiser]

something to figure out

Should it behave like a vanilla ender chest, or like the chickenbones enderstorage mod? Meaning each person only gets 1 per world and they would be automatically linked, or you can make many and configure them.

I am leaning toward vanilla-like. what do you think?

[thecodewarrior]

I think per-player would be easer and having many channels would just be overkill.
