Hey, i made a mod that automatically removes Blueprints from your inventory. This is if you prefer to use the library 100% of the time.
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/mISSAO/BlueprintRemover

No more clutter and a mess in your inventory. No questions asked. Just removal
The functionality is very basic, it deletes blueprints when it finds them. Usage: Make sure that when creating a blueprint, you place it in your library, as dropping it will erase it.

edit: my first ever mod

Excellent work! Good job realizing you didn't need to check every tick

If the code was longer I'd suggest de-duplicating it a bit with some variables and a loop, but for such a short mod you've done just fine.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Feature request: Don't destroy blueprints that are in filtered quickbar slots. This way I can filter one or a few slots, and keep exactly that many blueprints on hotkeys.

If you post your mod to github, I would code and PR this feature. If you want to do it yourself, there's some code here about filtered quickbar slots:

Bug: Mod should not delete deconstruction planners, because they cannot be stored in the library. It's actually kind of a hassle to set up a deconstruction planner that destroys every kind of rock and tree, so this makes the mod unusable for me.

I also second the request about not removing blueprints in filtered quickbar slots. I use this for a temporary copy/paste blueprint.

TIL. Thanks.

Well even this little mod is NOT trivial to do. I figured 15.7 introduced a bug.

i sent a bug report

What? Deconstruction planners can be filtered??

i updated this mod, to allow blueprints as well as deconstruction planners in filtered quickbar slots. Not sure if they are 100% secure lol. Now trying to make it work in sandbox gamemode.
