NBT & Tag View Cells

The NBT View Cell and Tag View Cell are special types of view cells you can place in your ME Terminal to filter what items are displayed.

How they work

• Both cells allow you to enter a custom filter string directly inside their interface.
• The filter is saved on the cell’s item, so you can move it between terminals and keep your settings.
• When placed in a terminal, only items matching the filter will appear.

NBT View Cell

• Filters items by matching their NBT data against the filter expression.
• You can write expressions using SNBT snippets inside { ... }, combined with logic operators.
• Supported operators:
  • && or and → logical AND
  • || or or → logical OR
  • ^^ or xor → exclusive OR
  • ! or not → negation
  • nand or !& → negated AND
• Parentheses ( ) can be used to group expressions.
• Wildcard * can match any value or any key.
• Example: {Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness"}]} will only match items with Sharpness enchant.

Tag View Cell

• Filters items by Minecraft tags.
• Enter the tag name (e.g., #minecraft:wool) and the terminal will only display items with that tag.
• Supports glob matching with * – for example #minecraft:*_logs matches all log tags.
• Logical operators are also supported:
  • &&, ||, ^^, !, nand
• Example: #minecraft:logs && !#minecraft:oak_logs → matches all logs except oak.

Interface

• Open the cell to configure it:

  • A text field lets you type your filter expression.
  • Use the scrollbar if your filter is long and doesn’t fit in the box.
  • Press the Confirm button to save your filter.

• The filter is immediately applied to the cell and stored on the item itself.

Notes

• These cells only affect what you see in the terminal – they do not remove or block items from the network.
• Multiple view cells can be combined; filters will stack with the usual AE2 priority rules.
• If no filter is set, the cell behaves like an empty slot.

With NBT and Tag View Cells you can keep your terminals clean and focused, whether you want to see only a specific potion variant or a whole tag category of blocks.
