Benefits of an Item Sorter
- Time-Saving: Automates the tedious task of sorting items, freeing up time for other Minecraft activities. With the chests organized, you will have the necessary materials readily available for crafting, reducing the time it takes to create items!
- Find Items at a Glance: Locate specific items quickly and effortlessly, without the hassle of searching through disorganized and messy chests.
- Scalability: As your inventory expands and your projects become more complex, the sorter can adapt to your needs. It is easily expandable!
How It Works
- The items you want to sort are placed in the input chest.
- Hoppers automatically transport the items from the input chest to the sorting mechanism.
- Comparators analyze the items and determine their type based on predefined criteria.
- The comparator sends a redstone signal corresponding to the identified item type.
- The redstone signal activates a specific output chest, directing the item to its designated storage location.
- Non-filtered items will end up in the unsorted final chest.
