I think what would improve this tutorial is building the tube with dropper first, because usually we already have a farm built and we just need to change sorters, putting the dropper tube first would make building this system a lot less trial and error.

I recommend using note block and observer to start the sorter. Just right click on noteblock to start the machine, easier than placing & breaking a torch.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

Or a switch - or in this case use a button instead of the redstone torch, it'll turn off in plenty of time.

[@blacksheep_77]

Played with this thought...if instead of having a dust in that corner you put a solid block, one can then have a sticky piston that is also connected to an observer and a note block. Hit the first note block and the sticky piston places the block into the corner. Hit the second note block and it fires the observer into the block and starts the clock. When you want to turn it off, one would hit the sticky piston note block at the right moment and it pulls the solid block out of the corner, shutting down the clock. works like a charm.

[@NitsuSaiNeko]

@@blacksheep_77 Great suggestion, that is exactly what I did!

[@blacksheep_77]

@@NitsuSaiNeko Also found some new work by Rapscallion1138 concerning sorting stacks. It is an upgrade to Chapman's single item clock here that is worth a look. Works in Nether and overworld. It's ice travel and it can sort at 10gt which is super fast. Concept is very similar to Chapmans but the clock is started via a CUD and activator rail. No more manual start/stop.

if your using this to sort items from an overworld iron farm, use an etho hopper clock, as the circuit and or piston can sometimes freeze, up or stay powered

sorry late reply

[@user-xxxtentacionrip75]

I wish I had found you earlier but wow this is exactly want I wanted thank you 😁 it was Simple to build 👍

[@bendvis]

Kickass design. I built this in my survival world and found that if you add 2 more 4-tick repeaters to the bottom of the 'heart' and use a double-speed sorting system, you won't see any items miss their hoppers, even when feeding the system with a max speed dropper. Also, if you want the items to get pushed in from the sorting side instead of the chest side, you can put a 1 block tall chorus plant at the start of the row of ice to position it correctly. A honey block or chest wouldn't quite align the item right.

[@tobiasblidorf6586]

[@NebulaAviation1]

A more current alternative to the obsidian around the dropper is powdered snow. Place that below the dropper so all the items are spat out into it. It works quite well, and both is easier and looks better in my opinion.

[@injoy987]

[@dest2118]

if u dont have obsidian u can replace it with melon blocks; they’re immovable by slime blocks, and most of the time, theyre pretty easy to obtain compared to obsidian if u dont mind how they look.

[@nickoyasu2407]

a bunch of items aren't being picked up by the hoppers, but i only have three sorters, one for each item. are the items moving too fast for only three sorters, i.e. should i make multiple sorters for each item? also, does the first hopper covered by honey still pick up items?

[@soulreaver661]

If you put a solid block on top of a hopper it stops that hopper from looking up to see if there are items to grab there and it will only look for items to move along inside the chain of hoppers. If your having issues with items not making it into the sorting system that may be why. the ice need to run across in front of hoppers that having nothing on top of them other wise items will not be collected. The hopper will not be looking for items to grab from above

[@kalancosta7650]

You can also use glazed terracotta in place of obsidian

[@tuqq5238]

Something I hope people start adding into guides involving non movable blocks. Furnaces. They are cheap and quick to get.

[@termin29671]

[@It-b-Blair]

Tried this in the nether with a zombified piglin gold farm, used blue ice, most items flew past the hoppers and went into the sword auto smelter and jammed everything up. Switched back to a line of hoppers, slower but no lost or incorrectly organized items and it’s silent 🤷‍♂️ love the design though! Wish it worked for me.

[@soulreaver661]

sounds like you had an issue with the sorting part of your system double check you have a hopper fed directly into the compairtor it self, you have a stack of 41 of the item your want to sort any more will fall into the sorting system and end up in its chest which is fine but if you have less the stack will build until it hits 41 before it starts depositing into the chest. Make the rest of the slots only have 1 item and that item isnt somthing that the farm generates. 2:01 in the video shows the set up make sure the blue ice runs infront of the hopper that faces into the comparitor and not overtop of it or the items wont feed correctly into the system they need to be caught by that hopper specifically otherwise they will ether fall into random spots or not get caught at all

[@Zunip182]

You rock chapman. Ive learned so much from you. When i started playing minecraft again (i played before the game had an end) and saw all these crazy farms, it was a little overwhelming.

Just use a string on one of the ice blocks connected into an observer with a redstone repeater set to four ticks to time the piston on the second, third, fourth, etc etc. It's so much easier

[@NebulaAviation1]

I've tested a similar design myself, and you do have to be careful with that, as timings can be finicky with that, and items can occasionally get stuck, although it is rare

[@xplode225]

headsup, if you dont need all the item sorters, make sure you still leave the couple blocks of ice at the end of the row, otherwise some items will get through... I just finished building a variation f this for my gold farm and I only left 1 block of ice at the end. and well too late to change it I've already built the whole thing basically its clogging the machine as I'm guessing the item sorters don't have enough runway to pick it up before the cobweb does

[@calebheneghan9557]

Throwback thursday

[@sleepytemple]

one issue i have been having was when the correct item was pushed it would go into the correct hopper, but not into the chest and stop at the bottom hopper

[@soulreaver661]

sounds like that bottom hopper is being locked by a stray piece of redstone, make sure the only hoppers being effected by red stone are the the one fed directly into the comparitor and the one below it otherwise the hopper wont feed

I think you can replace the redstone dust on the outside corner with a solid block, then use a sticky piston plus lever to retract the solid block with you want it to stop. (I'll be trying this out in a creative world later today.)

[@aeronark4196]

really great idea, unfortunately though i dont recommend if you have a farm with high items/s and play on a server/realm. The pistons end up doing whatever the hell they want to do. Just use a hopper based sorter instead.... Sure it takes a lot of iron but it makes your life 7000x easier comapred to trying to sync up pistons with lag. Im not hating on the build, just not recommending it in the aforementioned scenario.

[@ashleywalker3813]

Some farms are too high output for hoppers to really work. I'm looking through comments to see if anyone has a wiring that separates the piston times a bit more, but otherwise will try and figure it out.

[@ashleywalker3813]

Ok, next to the first piston, add a repeater with 4 tick delay and a block behind the piston to get the signal in. It creates enough delay between each push that the slime doesn't touch.

[@aeronark4196]

@@ashleywalker3813 i tried like 30 tick delay between both of them but the realm just didnt manage it. The piston extented and stayed extended until the next signal came in. Just super weird shit. Ended up making a hopper based sorter under each one of the 4 killing chambers and that works well.

[@derekeleduc]

Im in the same shoes. Works until eventually the slime collide.

[@bendvis]

Apologies for resurrecting an ancient thread, but you can fix this by raising the first piston/slime block up a block so that the items it pushes toward the second piston have to fall a block. This way, the two slime blocks will never share a face.

[@ChaoticD3sTroYeR]

Built it, it's awesome. But it seems even with like 5 dedicated hoppers for one item, it's not really working properly. It seems the bug where the hoppers and minecarts can't suck in the proper entity before checking for coinciding entities is still present. So you'd need like 10 hoppers dedicated to one item. This really sucks, it's been an issue since 2020 and still no fix.

as mentioned all ready if you dont want to use the blue ice and piston methods, hopper mine carts can feed somthing like 20 items a second where hopers only feed 2. if you have the space to run powered rails over your hoppers and let the items being collected be picked up by a hopper mine cart it will run better
