I never thought storage could be this complicated

[@m1iles]

Really, I alway thought it was as complicated as it is

[@jenniferfread1146]

I'm an old minecrafter coming to the game with memories of concepts from 1.11 or so. To me it is especially complicated because it uses new blocks, changed behaviors and this is and all the other videos for a decent sorter seem to start in the middle.

[@Manu2222221]

Rather than complicated, I'd call it complex. It uses relatevly simple concepts, just taken to a next level

[@toydotgame]

I feel so proud, having my entire new auto storage system have the same capacity as the smallest bulk design in this video.

[@litlehedgehog_1241]

For anyone that has a hard time understanding storage tech, and really any redstone topic: 1. Learn how all readstone components work (compareter, repeater, piston, etc.) 2. Try and understand the main idea and purpose of the machine, but not the how it works. 3. Go into a creative world and make your own design without tutorials, and don't focus on how good it is, only make sure it works. 4. Make it better, then make it better again, then again and again until you don't feel you can make it any better Remember to start small and work your way up. I do this basically with everything i don't understand, even in the real world. Hope this helps! Edit: almost forgot 5. see what other people have done and compare it to yours to learn things like new techniques, and it's also good if you don't get it to work in the end. That's like the most important part: to learn and get better from your mistakes and experiences!

[@Chezrlz009]

I love that bulk silo so much. I'm designing my own smart storage system, and im trying to do as much as a I can by myself. I am 100% using that though lol. thanks for the inspo. your videos give me so many ideas. once summer comes for me, definitely will be designing tons :D

This is so amazing, I can totally see my self using something like this for the items we store in bulk.

[@James-kk3nm]

this design has got me excited. been watching the storage playlist and this is the first design i feel like is likely to have little to no issues but time will tell. I actually feel fairly confident I will be choosing this for my bulk, the fact that you test your designs thoroughly before publishing gives me a good feeling and I know that is not easy. So thank you for all of that hard work and love the entertainment factor too really cool video.

[@cubicmetre]

It apparently does have issues, even though me and Rapscallion smashed the shulker box sorters for weeks trying to get them to fail and never actually yielding. The system on ilmango's patreon server was demolished and replaced because it kept putting boxes in the wrong slices. My guess is that somebody unloaded it while it was running and boxes got clogged up in the dropper lines causing subsequent sorting operations to go derpy. I might need to replace the dropper lines with something else.

[@prunemoonlagoon6173]

This is great! I think i'm going to build this in my world for the basics. Iron blocks, cobble, stone, sand, gravel etc. It's gonna be amazing! Thanks for the awesome design!

[@angelcobofernandez1802]

The world download is missing a note block to trigger the system that unlocks the hoppers when an item is requested, there is a observer facing up but nothing to trigger it. At 14:04 you can see where it is but in the world download it is missing.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Where you have the redstone line up for overflow... You can massively reduce lag but cutting out the redstone and instead using a wall and a piston and observers which is also instant to transmit that signal.

[@Sardoron]

That is awesome ! Do you still plan on working on your x8HS MIS ? Really looking forward to that one !

[@polycrylate]

great video!

[@Wortigon2000]

I can't seem to think of any servers other than scicraft or prototech, where storages capable of handing out such huge bulks at once could be utilised to it's fullest. That said, a downscaled version would probably make some smaller scale servers really happy as well. Like the 9 shulker version, or eevn just a 3 shulker version.

[@cubicmetre]

Hi wortigon, this bulk is meant to be paired up with the kind of storage hall I demonstrated in "How to kill a chest monster" where the full boxes from the overflow of those slices would be sent to the bulk. Those storage slices alone provde a decent amount of storage at the scales you describe.

[@Wortigon2000]

[@rhueoflandorin]

Is it possible to keep it so that for each time you throw in an item request, it still only delivers 9 shulkers, but each item represents a capacity of 27? Accomplished by having a MOD-3 counter, when the hopper receives THREE requests for the item (tosses 3 items in), it RETURNS two of those reference items back to the interface-chest. On every 3rd request, no reference items get returned to the interface chest, and it gets treated as it does currently. This does mean you don't "know exactly" how much storage of each type you have, as the number of reference items you'll see = shulkerboxes/27 + R. But it maximizes the storage potential, without requiring either 1) more interface chests to search through or 2) requiring you call 27 shulkers each time.

[@cubicmetre]

The system you suggest could work however it would add a lot of complexity to the design, especially when the alternative is that when you call 27 boxes you can just return whatever boxes you don't want back to the system and it will sort them automatically very quickly.

[@Jazzy-kz6wd]

When i tried to do an inventory panel storage system, I had it so that you could either send in a full shulker or loose items to be sorted, I feel like otherwise you would struggle to sort loose items or partially filled boxes without making a whole separate sorter for it.

[@royalblue621]

I'm wondering what the mspt standard represents, if "millisecond per tick" isn't 50 the normal state? It's often a number that doesn't make sense even in my own world.

[@cubicmetre]

Milliseconds per tick represents the amount of time a computer running a server needs to process all of the events which happen in a single gametick. The more stuff the game needs to process each tick, the more time it takes. By default if the game takes less than 50 milliseconds to process everything it will not start processing the next tick until it reaches 50ms, this defines the default gamespeed of 20 ticks per second. If the game takes longer than 50ms to process a tick however, this is when the game starts lagging. When we design things in technical MC we always consider minimising MSPT as lag efficiency is one of the majorly limited factors of any contraption. This is why bigger and faster is not always better.

[@royalblue621]

@@cubicmetre Oh I see! So the MSPT is the minimum time it takes to process all of the event, but the game progress is always no less than 50 MSPT(=20tps). And when the system is built, the goal become to decrease MSPT as well as improve efficiency. Thank you so much :D

[@Matt_10203]

@@royalblue621 essentially once 50MSPT is passed the game no longer can sustain 20tps and you will experience lag.

this is only better cause it has triple the trinary counters

[@ryalgh]

hello from the Sharter Realm

[@humanperson8418]

Why not use chest minecarts at the end for overflow? Once at max capacity, extra items can go into the minecarts.

[@rogue_ruggie]

ngl, I might just take the bulk layout and attach that to a box display and put a lamp display showing how full the system is

[@yourfellowhumanbeing2323]

Dear cubicmeter, how do we learn these redstony bits and stuff, where do you recommend I should start at?

[@cubicmetre]

I would suggest just watching people as they build contraptions, take notes on how they use components then experiment with these concepts yourself. It takes a while to learn how many niche and ambiguous configurations there are at your disposal to make a very specific contraption work.

[@yourfellowhumanbeing2323]

@@cubicmetre Thanks mate, from here I learned about the hopper locking and all. Can you say what was written in the command block to check the mspt and all?

@@yourfellowhumanbeing2323 The command is /tick entities. You can also do /log tps to display a tooltip below the player list when you hold tab. Both of these commands are part of carpet mod and quickcarpet by Skyrising. You can find all our mods on the Scicraft discord.

I guess you can configure the amount of boxes you call however be aware that you need to balance the input counter with this otherwise your stock level indicator will go out of whack.

so I made a gigantic storage on a server I'm talking it literally went from bedrock to sky limit and It was so laggy whenever I got on the server would crash.

[@cubicmetre]

Uhh, yes, a storage will do that if you make it way too big. I tried to make a bulk system that could store a bilion cobblestone and it would cleave chunks out of the storage as the chunks literally became overloaded with data and corrupted. Unfortunately there is a fundamental limit to what the game can handle.

Request 27 boxes, then return 26 to the storage, it takes only a few seconds to sort the boxes back again. Ideally you would pair this bulk system with a main storage from which you can grab loose items as well as individual boxes.
