I made a new Item Sorter in Minecraft

I made a new Item Sorter in Minecraft

today I’m going to be designing an automatic sorting system for my base on the hermitcraft server for anyone who hasn’t been keeping up with the hermitcraft series firstly what have you been doing with your life secondly this is what my base currently looks like my storage system is going to be traveling through all of these builds it’s kind of going to be split up into different sections all of these wool bits are planned future builds but for now I’ve got the boulder Bros which is where all my rocks are going to be stored We’ve Got Big Ron’s Tech Superstore which is where all my Redstone components are going to be stored we got Wily’s Woodyard which is where my wood is stored and Jill and bills bits and Bobs which is where all of the miscellaneous items are going to be stored now originally I was going to sort to all of my items manually but then I remembered I’m mumbo jumbo I know I’ve been building a lot recently but that would be horrifically off brand but a conventional sort of definitely wouldn’t work for this setup so I’m going to have to come up with something completely new and completely bespoke and the first step of coming up with something completely new and completely bespoke is looking up other people’s designs and this one is pretty incredible it’s by a person called lummy Thief I’ll put it down in the description I know that SS have been built multiple times on the hamit craft server and the way they work is so interesting so I’d highly suggest checking out the video but it’s not quite going to work for me however I am going to utilize some of the concept so this is a 16x 16 area I want to try and build this entire thing in one chunk so that if I unload the chunks everything will unload at once and hopefully it doesn’t break itself with that being said I’ve immediately started building things outside of the chunk area because I think I’m going to have a regular sorting system before this thing just because it uses mine carts to operate so I thought I would filter out a lot of the bulk items things like Cobblestone Stone various different planks stuff that I’m going to have lots of so that I can reduce the lag of mine carts moving around when I’m doing very basic sorting with that being said I definitely don’t need to build that in this test so for now I’m going to leave it like this now as you can see I’ve got two sides to this thing because hopefully I can have two of these systems running at once so half of the items from our input are going to arrive in this chest half of them are going to arrive in this chest and I’m going to be removing the items using a hopper mine cart now that Hopper mine cart is going to be sent off into six different branches so we’ve got Stone we’ve got Redstone supplies we’ve got wood supplies farming supplies valuables and then miscellaneous items on the aend now how do I intend on getting the hob mine cart to go down the different areas well that’s where this chest comes in when the hob mine cart travels underneath this chest if the item inside the chest matches up with the hob mine cart then it will power the Redstone line and the mine cart will travel off like this now I currently have this filled up with placeholder items so the actual chest will be filled up with items like this so if the hopper mine cart the items inside the hopper mine cart match up with any of these items and we have a bunch of slots then the mine cart will be redirected and those items will be sorted into the correct area now there’s a few things that we have to do here the first thing that we need to make sure of is the item that got pulled from this chest needs to be returned back to the chest so that it can continue sorting the way we’re going to make sure that only one type of item ends up in the mine cart Hopper is by using unstackable items in the following four slots so we need to make sure that they also don’t get taken out too much and get returned to the mine cart Hopper and we need all of these designs to be able to work directly next to one another now before we build all of that I’ve got a quick message from Big [Music] Rons just capturing behind the scenes removing just the first item is a kind of weird thing to try and do a and if it messes up the whole thing is broken oh oh I guess it could just roll over a hopper like if it just rolls over a hopper one item will be removed right so we’ve got 32 items inside this Hopper mine cart here if I send it over yeah it removed the first item and then these items are being removed this is good and then it’s the removal of the spoons that we need to stop now the next question is if I power this okay yeah that does work I didn’t know if it was is going to just go back and forth gosh if I hadn’t thought of that Hopper thing and instead built some kind of complicated Redstone Contraption to remove just one item the first item I would have been so embarrassed the fact that I’ve even included clips of me considering something else is embarrassing next up we need to get the items from down at the bottom up to the top now the item elevator proved a little bit tricky to fit within the space but I think I’ve just about managed to pull it off so this will return our single item back up to the chest so now I’ve started trying to work out the next part of the Redstone which is the spoon r removal and this is hurting my brain a little bit because I need to use so I need to use a non-stackable item filter as soon as we get an unstackable item we need to tell the hopper mine cart to travel off because it’s finished filtering out the items we then need that non-stackable item to be separated from the items that have been coming from the HPP mine cart and then we need to make that non-stackable item go somewhere and by Jo I was just around and I think I’ve come up with something so this is our non-stackable item filter and then this circuit here actually Powers our Minecart line so that will send the hopper mine cart off and then we’ve got two separate lines for the items the regular items and then the non-stackable items I am so incredibly curious to see what happens here because I honestly I have no idea I have no idea what’s about to happen but if I send off the HPP mine cart okay so our item our item made it way back up into the chest okay that’s the first thing and then these items should be making their way out into this Hopper okay I think that worked but then it didn’t it didn’t no no because two spoons went through two non-stackable items went through it sent this redstone block into the wrong position that was so close that was ridiculously close look look our spoons are down here I should not be speaking like that while I have a cold as bad as I have I’m not going to be able to speak tomorrow I can feel it also how does someone get cold on Sumer Solstice like how does that happen that should be illegal right if I run a two tick pulse into this thing sure some more spoons will be removed but this redstone block shouldn’t be able to get stuck over here so if we fill up our hob mine cart and send it over okay that Redstone circuit is working the item has been returned everything is good there these items are being removed and they are going in the correct direction that is excellent now we see what happens with the spoons okay so the hob of mine cart traveled off three spoons have been removed three spoons are down here and it just about fits within our chunk border and I just removed the Piston from my item elevator so that should be more reliable so I think now it’s time to add in all of the extra modules and see if this thing actually functions oh we’re going to have to hold our horses on that one because I’ve just tested this with a small number of items and weirdly enough the Redstone works but the HPP mine cart kind of get stuck here and I’m not entirely sure why so I think this ramp needs to go and we need to work out a way to get this flatter that is interesting I think I’ve come up with something both faster and more compact so if we just put a single item inside of here we should see that this thing is pretty rapid and it doesn’t break so now we can get all of the modules constructed and I’m going to say this looks rather lovely doesn’t it and imagine this is going to be mirrored on the other side as well it’s like a little storage database now the first thing that I need to work on is the spoon returning system and also the first spoon removal system so that should just actually be like a little item elevator it shouldn’t be too hard we put both of these in there and it’s got stuck but after literally putting an entire double chest worth of spoons through the system in various different increments it remain is just one spoon being stuck I’m happy with that so as our hob mine cart makes his way back around it will pick up some shovels from this chest fully fill itself up and then the first shovel the first slot will be emptied by this Hopper so that we then leave a slot for the items to actually go into right why is this now happening now that I have all of the extra modules in I don’t understand that I don’t understand I don’t understand this is why I never do anything with mine carts what’s going on over here as well I reckon it’s this guy’s fault everything started going wrong as soon as he turned up so for about the 10,000th time I’ve come up with something else does it work that is the [Music] question I mean in its own kind of special way I think it does yeah everything was sorted correctly the spoons have returned back up to the top chest but the mine cart stops like this which means for some reason it occasionally doesn’t go around the corner that time it did but if I do this again it doesn’t in case you ever wondering this is the sort of reason why I don’t often work with mine carts basically if this mine cart has any less than 32 items inside of it it it will not make that turn yeah that that is how I feel as you can probably hear from my voice I was pretty defeated at this point but after bashing my head against my desk for a good few hours I just extended the powered rails from 3 to 4 and now the mine cart is at maximum velocity 8 m a second and it is reliable regardless of how many items are in sight the only thing that it doesn’t work with is items stackable up to 16 because you just end up with a full stack no more signs can get in for this to be detected but I feel like signs are really the only major thing that I’d ideally like to sort into word the rest of them are probably miscellaneous anyway so now again let’s repeat this updated module and I got to say it looks very pretty doesn’t it I didn’t fancy doing the alternating colors this time just in case it goes wrong again and I have to repeat the whole process but don’t let that fool you I am feeling confident so the final thing that I have to add is the little filter for a non-stackable items and this should be simple because it is a stripped down version of the other modules as it’s the segment it doesn’t need any of the rail selection stuff or anything like that we just need to find out when a non-stackable item comes out of the hopper mine cart and then it will move it along and with that now finished the whole build is completed so I’ve mirrored it and I think we can all agree this thing looks ridiculously cool I love the way that it fills right the way out to the edges of the chunk all I’ll say is thank goodness chunks are 16x 16 and not something smaller now I’ve also filled in all of the chests with a bunch of different types of items so these are all the ones that are going to be sorted again these are placeholder items in my actual sorting system this will be filled with all sorta bles but let’s put together an absolute nightmare of an inventory okay I’ve got I’ve got all sorts of this you know maybe they’re split up a little bit we’ve got we’ve got some deep slate scrambled about uh some Redstone supplies I’m doing some Redstone in got quite the load of ancient debris uh that’s been a successful mining session yeah this is the sort of inventory that would be very frustrating to sort manually you’d be all over the place putting them in all sorts of different chests but this is is going to divide up all of the items and organize them for me now I’m also going to do a little bit of an experiment okay let’s kick this thing into gear I’m going to start chucking the items inside this is now going to start sorting you can see the mine carts are already traveling off everything has kicked into action and I’m also going to do a replica of a regular sorting system over here so this is how fast a regular sorting system works but while that’s doing that let’s just watch this thing is everything working properly I mean it seems to be the mine carts are moving around these chests are being loaded and unloaded the hopper mine carts are moving and they should be moving everything into place okay this is pretty satisfying to watch it looks like we have now moved into Redstone supplies okay so it’s currently unloading some Redstone supplies they should be making their way in now how’s our double chest looking okay yeah we’re making some progress obviously the items are going to come out of this double chest considering durably fast than they come out of this one but all I care about is how soon everything is emptied and everything is fully inside the sorter because I’m really curious to see if this is actually faster than a regular one some more wood types going in they sorted three different types of stone oh and now we’re moving on to Moss blocks so I guess the main point of inefficiency with a design like this is when the hopper mine carts are moving so right now they aren’t doing any item sorting they are just moving around that’s where we’re losing time so that’s why I’m curious to see how it Compares there are ways I can get around this I could break the mine carts to remove all of the items from them really really quickly and then redispatch with item despawning and Hoppers overflowing and I really didn’t want to run into issues with the mine cart so that’s why I’ve kept this as a single or I guess double Minecart system for me personally as someone who is quite impatient and also quite forgetful I wanted to be able to leave the chunks on this thing or even leave the game while this thing is running and not run into issues where everything was backing up and things were going totally wrong so our input chest is now empty we are now clearing the back log as far as I can tell this is going to be six more Minecart trips which I think we’ve got it I think it’s beaten it the fact that I’ll be automatically sending Redstone supplies to Big Rons and and wood to Willy’s Woodyard is so exciting here we go final trip final items being picked up now we just wait for them to be sorted and they should be in okay all of the items are now now in the system they’re making their way to the chest we’ve got this many items left with the regular sorta which is pretty ridiculous and as you can see all of the items are here here they are they are all in their separate chests all fully sorted out and organized we had no problems no issues this one it’s still going and it’s still going to be going for quite some time this thing is fast it seems reliable I can’t see it could go wrong it fits within one chunk mat I’m choed the pit for this thing cool very very cool can’t wait to build this on hermitcraft server I hope that you’ve enjoyed this little Redstone video and I will catch you in the next one see you it’s still going I’m I’m ending the video

In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video, Mumbo works on designing a new multi item automatic sorter in Minecraft for building in the Mumbo Jumbo mega base on the Hermitcraft Season 10 world. This complicated redstone build will automatically sort any Minecraft item and transport it into your Minecraft storage system.
