Or simply open the Items tab in /lf settings to browse and search all 2,724 items directly in-game.

  • 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
