Finding Item IDs

Tips & Tricks

• Use the Beginner preset when starting out, then customize as you learn what items you want
• Export your presets before major updates as a backup
• Use /lf block-all then /lf category-allow WEAPONS to quickly set up minimal filtering
• Commands give feedback if an item/category is already in the requested state
• Hold Crouch (Ctrl) to temporarily bypass the filter and pick up blocked items
• Use /lf yes or /lf no while holding an item to quickly override it without opening settings
