Compact Categorizer Tutorial (1.15, 1.16, Java, and Bedrock)

[@RynRoo]

Works in 1.20.1 !!!! My server just updated and it still works fine which is super nice. Just wanted to let people know in case they wanted to build this.

[@metamilo]

Nice, thanks for reporting that. It's a pretty simple design which makes it very resilient to updates.

[@SaflotuXD]

thank you very much

[@Izosu69]

Hi can i ask how do you sort the items without them going to the overflow chest? Do I have to put (let's say a dirt block) on a chest, so that when I put another dirt on the input chest, the minecart puts it in that chest? My brain is not built for redstone

[@RynRoo]

@Izosu69 Look at 24:46. In the bottom chests you need to put 3 unstackables and 55 renamed stackables. So he did 3 minecarts and 55 paper pieces named filter in every chest. I did 3 wooden swords and 55 dirt pieces that i renamed filter1 to like filter99 with in the first chest filter1, the second chest filter2, ect, making it easier to see where i go wrong if the system breaks. When you want to sort a certain item in that column, you need to take out one piece of filter item and put in your desired block. So for my dirt sorting i have one block of these: grass, dirt, farmland, rooted dirt, dirt path, coarse dirt, podzol, mycelium, then 47 dirt named filter15 and 3 wooden swords. Make sure you dont put other unstackables like armour in these. Those need to go to the overflow chests.

[@shadowata]

Bedrock player here. I used this design but kept the filter that Maizuma Games used and upgraded the minecart launch system to match @Evonski 's . I'm now working on adding multiple drop-off locations so that I can add more minecarts to speed up the system. It works by allowing a second minecart to enter the main rails if the first minecart skips over the first drop off location.

[@metamilo]

Cool, I already have a system that does something similar, it needs a bit of work but I'd be curious to see what you got.

Mine could use some work as well but it's functional at the current stage. I play on a switch so getting you a world download wouldn't be free without paying for realms.

[@Azariven]

I figured it out. you need to replace the last dropper in the dropper elevator with a hopper. The reason it that the dropper shoots items out faster than the hopper can handle, so it won't get sorted and passed to the next hopper

[@rhysdenno5993]

@@Azariven That is a smart fix, but not quite the problem I was having. I eventually figured it out in a not so efficient, yet functional, way.

[@thomasedison8783]

The hopper minecart tends to pick up a full stack from the chest when idle which means when launched it doesn't have room to grab from the filter chest meaning the first stack just goes to overflow. is there a way to ensure that the minecart never picks up a full stack? Thanks

[@metamilo]

There should be a timing circuit in the back that prevents this. Check out my follow up video for fixes and updates.

Thanks for the great tutorial! What are the pros and cons of using this type of sorter compared to the other multi-item sorter for which you previously made a video (the tileable one that doesn't use minecarts)? I am trying to decide which one to make after my server gets reset to 1.16.

[@metamilo]

Glad you liked it. So this one is a little more robust if you're on a laggy server or a server that has slightly modified redstone behavior (bukkit, paper, etc.). However, it's also a little slower, can't handle 16 stackable items, and is noisy when operating.

[@sbgaming8674]

Hi! Quick question! (I’m on 1.15.2) I have everything place and when the items get to the top row hoppers all the items end up in the overflow chest and not the proper chests. Any reasons why the items will not move down a hopper when they get to the right one?

[@metamilo]

Check to see that the slice is actually being set by the minecart. If it is successfully set then you'll see the comparator locking the top hopper turn off. If that's not working then the problem is with the minecart setting the filter. If it is working then the problem is that the filter is being reset before all the items reach the slice. This means you have to slow the cart more on it's way back to the start.

[@metamilo]

if it's taking things out of the chest then that means it's leaving the loading zone with an empty slot. This could be caused by a few things. Make sure the fence gate isn't getting any stray power and make sure the timing are correct. Another problem might be that the cart isn't getting reconfigured after unloading into the dropper tower. You can watch the contents of the cart as it unloads to make sure it properly reconfigures itself. If you're still having problems consider joining discord, it's easier to help there.

Double check that the observers that power the droppers are all being properly triggered by the rails underneath them. Rails can only transfer power up to 9 blocks away so if you expanded the system or changed the shape then the rail under the offending slice might not be getting power.

When using the filter chest, do you need to do anything different if you put in items that don’t sack to 64? Like ender pearls fo example?

Yea, each 16 stackable item would have to replace 4 64 stackable items. However, the system as it's set up in the video is not capable of sorting 16 stackable items.

if you're in 1.15 (which I assume is the case) you'll need to put a break in the wall of chests every 16 or so blocks so you can power the rails. I don't think there's a way around it, not until 1.16 at least.

@@mattsiri8689 The 1.16 design has room to put a redstone block next to the rail without interfering with anything, so just plop one of them in the center and at the end of each side. You'll also have to put multiple detector rails on the lower line that resets the filters because one won't be enough to reach both ends of the side.

@@metamilo so replace a target block with a redstone block? It's the rail line that has the dropper on one side and target block on the other in the 1.16 design.

@@michaelmcgeoch3296 for the elevator part, make sure you have a comparator reading out of the clock. If you use a repeater it will create an infinite loop which might be your problem there. I also made some tweaks at the very end of the video so maybe check to see that you made those changes. If that's all good then make sure you have all the filters configured properly. If the slice isn't getting used the chest still needs to be configured with items. Hopefully one of those helps. If not try joining discord. It's easier to help there.

Hey meta, so I made the design and when I pull the lever my cart takes off and pulls the item out of the chest and the items go around but when they come back they skip the chest and go straight to overflow, any idea what would cause that?

[@benmerritt314]

Is the item used as a blocker in the minecart unable to be sorted?

[@metamilo]

Yea, you won't be able to sort that item, but if you name those items with an anvil then they'll count as being different than the normal item which can then be sorted. That's why it's always best to name your filter and blocker items.

[@adilchhabra]

Fantastic design! Quick question - I made this categorizer in 1.15.2 and I'm ending up with filtered items in the overflow despite slowing down the final rail line using the piston and observer method from the video. Would you know why this still won't work? Thank you!

[@metamilo]

It may have to do with the locking method. If it's locked when you put items into the chest it will fill the cart completely and so it won't have any space to take a filter item. This means the first pass of the cart will drop everything to the overflow, but afterwords it should operate fine. You can fix this by attaching the lock to the powered rail where the minecart bounces upwards instead of the comparator reading from the cart. That way it'll sit out of the way when it's off.

[@Zimma-zp2ez]

@@metamilo Hi, Im also playing the same version, and having the exact same problem. Only about half of the items go in the correct sorted chest, while the rest goes in the overflow chest. I also made one more slowing observer piston thing on the final rail, but it still wont work. The cart also only take about half a stack, so i checked that aswell.

Ok, that probably means that the detector rail that triggers that side is too far away from the end rail that triggers the droppers. Rails can only be powered from 9 blocks away. To fix this you can move the detector rail closer to that end so that it can reach all the rails on that side.

[@kabukialtair]

This system is useless, in the video you don't show it working because you know what is wrong with it. I spent my time building this in my world and I found out that the overflow thing makes this useless, if you put one stack of item in the Input it won't sort all stack into the storage chests, always will remain some itens of this same item in the Overflow Chest, so you need to put it again in the Input Chest and in the end it will still remain a few itens in the Overflow Chest and you need to store this manually. In my test I put 64 itens in the Input Chest, for example, 1 stack of Diamond, in the first moment it stored 54 diamonds and sent 10 diamonds to Overflow Chest. So I put 10 diamonds in the Input Chest, it stored 5 diamonds and sent 5 diamonds to Overflow Chest. And again I put 5 diamonds in the Input Chest, it stored nothing and sent the same 5 diamonds to Overflow Chest. So, if I need to store 5 diamonds manually, it's the same as store 64 diamonds manually. Useless machine.

[@grampyrick4356]

How many chest stacks did you build in each side? Sounds like you have a problem with the timing for the reset rails, or you aren't extending power beyond the eight rails that can be powered on each side of a detector rail. If you built it the same size as the tutorial, you probably just missed something. I built an enlarged version, and extended the power to all the reset rails, and it works perfectly for me (on a busy server running Spigot).

[@nielsnielsen9013]

is this hopper speed?

[@metamilo]

It's speed varies depending on the quantity of each item being sorted, but on average it'll operate around 40% to 60% of hopper speed. That's not bad as far as reservationless multi item sorters go. This one is a simplified version of another one by Cass from Maizuma Games KZbin channel. His is faster, but much more complex.

@@metamilo okay thanks! The system doesn't seems to work ( not depending on target blocks i think) all items are going into the overflow chest ( i did sorted the items) do you know how to fix?

[@metamilo]

@@meesvanhooijdonk52 If your items are going to the overflow chest then you likely have one of three problems. 1) The cart delay system on the bottom isn't slowing the cart for long enough. You can increase the delay by increasing the amount of blinking track. 2) The input circuit isn't releasing the cart soon enough, so it's getting a full stack which means it can't accept new items and thus can't set the filters properly. Just double check that yours matches the tutorial, and maybe take out the locking part just to be sure. 3) Your filter chest aren't properly configured. If they have even 1 more than the amount I specified then when the minecart take an item they will not drop the signal strength of the comparator and the filter will not unlock. Make sure you configured them for the correct version since I went over both 1.15 and 1.16 in the video. Same goes for the lime green circuits on the back, make sure they're the correct version for your world.

Can we add chests on top for more storage?

Yea you can. You'll have to change the top of the lime green section a little bit to reach up higher, but that shouldn't be too hard. And of course you'll have to make the dropper elevator go 1 higher as well, but again, not too difficult.

[@duncanwoodford8765]

@@metamilo thanks and u was also wandering do we need to change the filter for items that stack to 16?

[@metamilo]

@@duncanwoodford8765 You only have to change the configuration in the filter box. Each 16 stackable item has a weight of 4, so for each one you want to filter you'll have to remove 4 of the placeholder items instead of the normal 1. There's a bigger problem though for doing 16 stackables. The hopper minecart sucks them in so fast that it will fill a stack before it gets released, and if it has a full stack then it can't set the filters as it goes by because there's no space to suck in an item. This can be fixed, but it adds a significant amount of complexity to the system.

[@metamilo]

@@oliverwittm Yes, you can adjust the filters like you described. However, that's not why the system can't handle 16 stackables, the problem is with the way the hopper minecart is loaded. Since the minecart has time to suck out a full stack of 16-stackables it won't have any space left to suck out the filter item and thus will not be able to trigger the filter. There are many ways of fixing this issue by tweaking how the cart takes items from the input, but none of them were simple enough to justify adding to the system.
