registerFilterFactory

Registers a filter factory.

Filter factories create filters when resources are (re)loaded (when the game starts, or the player presses F3+T)

The factory method accepts a resource wrapper, extracts information, and creates a filter (chain) by specifying the processor filter and the textures it can replace. Built-in filters can be found in opekope2.filter package. If a filter factory can't process a resource, it returns null.

Each filter accepts an interaction, processes it, and returns a result whether a texture should be replaced or not, and if yes, provides a replacement texture.

Block entity preprocessors and entity preprocessors supply the Interaction.data of the filter the factory creates, which can be registered for every supported block entity and entity using registerPreprocessor.

To process anything other than block entities and entities, (for example, creative inventory, anvil screen, most villager job sites), preprocessors are not available. Processing takes place in the filter created by factory. For example, add an arrow function, a PreProcessorFilter and/or NullGuardFilter to provide Interaction.data using Interaction.copy, then invoke another filter with the new interaction. You can add a texture filter in front of processing to avoid unnecessary computing.
