hey, just noticed this while playing. i’ve got raw aluminum from gregtech and alltheores, and even though they both use the same tag (forge:raw_materials/aluminum), they won’t go into the same drawer. kinda annoying having to make separate drawers for what’s basically the same thing.

would be really nice if drawers could treat items with the same tag as the same. maybe an upgrade or a config option or something.

appreciate the mod, use it all the time. thanks

i dont think this is as simple as you think it sounds.. there's so many tags lol, should it work with modded bows that have the minecraft:bows tag? If you put a vanilla bow in a drawer should it accept all bows with that tag? how would you get it out? or is it just voided?

Even if you keep it to just materials like ore, raw ore, ingots and nugs. What happens if a magic mod adds some kinda arcane gold that they want to work as regular gold for regular recipes but also adds recipes that specifically needs this arcane gold? now suddenly that arcane gold is voided when inserted into a drawer network because it has the c:ingots/gold tag and is inserted in to the regular gold ingot drawer?

The real solution for you is unifying the materials pack side so there is only one raw aluminum... this can be done fairly simply using something like Almost Unified.. the whole reason alltheores exists is to unify materials all in to one.

Unifying materials is a pack dev's job, not a mod's job. all a mod can really do is ensure their recipes use tags so they can accept other mod's materials.

This feature will cause more harm than benefit, tags and unification is a pack dev work
