Item filter

An Item filter allows a player to customise the appearance of items on the ground, as well as hide unwanted items.

Early Access

Item filters seem to work the same way they did in Path of Exile 1 so far, as described at the items filter section of the PoE 1 site. An equivalent page at the PoE 2 site is missing still. The following code is a working example for PoE 2:

   Show
       BaseType == "Riveted Mitts"
       SetFontSize 45
       SetTextColor 255 255 255 255
       SetBorderColor 240 100 0 255
       SetBackgroundColor 0 0 0 255

Placing a file with this content in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2" (Windows 10+, if you did not move "My Documents" from its default location) makes it available in game in the options window under "Game/General/Item Filter". The game only loads filter files with the file extension '.filter'.

A filter file consists of any number of blocks that are processed from top to bottom. Each block either shows or hides the items specified by it. When a block matches an item, by default, no further blocks are evaluated for this item. This can be changed using the 'Continue' keyword in the block.

By default, no items are hidden.
