is there a way to ignore the item lore and nbt data and make it only check the material? maybe an option that can be added

Looks like there isn't an option for it currently. I should probably just change it to ignore NBT data in all cases(?)

yes please! ignore nbt data and lore, just check for material only.

The latest 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 versions now ignore NBT data on the items for the material list available items count.

However I didn't change the pick bock and Easy Place stuff yet, because those changes should then also happen partially on malilib's side and I didn't feel like doing such a change at this time. So that change will probably come later via the main development code from 1.12.2.
