[@jasonreed7522]

The storage system is amazing and it makes me want to try and make a machine to organize shulkers automatically. From a user experience the goal would be to dump randomly filled shulkers (say from a chest monster) into the input and it then drains them and uses each item in the temp hipd chest to set the filter to fill up empty shulkers from the reserve and then put the sorted shulkers into the output chest. I think it could pair really well with this shulker searcher etho made. (Or just route the shulkers to a special shulker sorting facility to place each shulker in its corresponding chest, but i suspect just using Etho's machine would be simpler) Etho should never shy away from doing redstone on camera, it both interesting and inspiring.

[@skriisi]

[@chopper6537]

100% Agree!

[@Indigofrost]

I like the idea of making multiple processes unites that pull the items out at the same time to spit them into 1 shulker. And an input system that splits them up in the processors equally for storage. It should help with speed by reducing the amount 1 core does and splitting it up as much as you cores you want

How very etho of him

[@theskatenerd]

Scar needs this.

[@BTPHawklaser]

I rather like this system, as some shulkers you might want to stay mess, such as a redstone shulker box for example. This way can have organized(or messy) shulkers and still be able to search them for specific items without having to place&open tons of them. Sure you can just keep the themed boxes in an ender chest, but sometimes you might need multiples and ender chest space is rather limited. This could likely be expanded to handle as many shulkers as one wants. Ironically, this storage system would likely be amazing for hermits like Good TimesWithScar and his chronic shulker monsters. Just toss the shulkers back in once done with your project, and can easily find the materials for the next project.

[@superservo]

@@BTPHawklaser agreed! Likely if you have shulkers where you wants to keep the contents together, saves you more time putting it away AND fetching it and re-loading it! Plus you don’t need to walk back and forth anywhere 🤔🤣

[@kevintyrrell7409]

@PartialXRay One thing though, why would a system like this be useful? Why not just have something that automatically organizes the boxes. For example, all sticks are in one box, all redstone dust are in one box, etc etc. I don't see the advantage in having boxes filled with random assortments of items rather than it being uniform.

[@ShaneRay25]

​@@kevintyrrell7409 great question! In my opinion, multiple options are "right". Something Etho said in a prior to this video is that minecraft keeps coming out with new blocks, so constantly adding multiple new shulkers to a "sorted" or collected system becomes increasingly difficult. Adding the new mangrove wood to a shulker that is already packed and efficient with all the other wood types now becomes a problem. Especially as someone who only plays/tests in survival. Your proposed method is good, if you take the time, ever time to sort and order your items/shulkers. Everyone else is making the same variations of a basic sorting system. water/hoppers or that new ROOM SIZE one (still impressive) and here comes Etho with a Redstone innovation, on a casual weekday afternoon lol. TLDR - Your right, if that is that persons "style." a huge room size sorting system works or a crazy nested shulker system works, but this is still incredibly genius.

Same here! Interestingly, redstone is what got me interested in programming in the first place. KZbinrs like Etho, Sethbling, Mumbo Jumbo, Cubehamster, etc. helped me understand the basics of boolean logic and stuff through Minecraft redstone circuits which eventually led me to learning programming in middle school and eventually majoring in Computer Science now. I still remember when 1.3 came out with a new locking mechanic on repeaters that no one uses anymore, and I was so obsessed with it that I kept trying to find uses for it even though the mechanic would soon be overshadowed by the 1.5 Redstone Update not too long later. Seeing Etho geek out in this episode over the technical details of his build made me feel nostalgic for the days when I'd obsessively try to find ways to utilise a new redstone mechanic. :)

Etho! This was by far one of my favorite episodes because I got to see the Pixel/Googler again. A request - Please build a defragmentation function that consolidates items into less boxes. It would reduce the number of search results you receive and make it so that you could just dump items in the system haphazardly, but then press "Defragment" and walk away, knowing that the next time you search for *whatever* it would all be in the smallest number of boxes, even allowing you to just grab the whole box and go. You could then also use boxes to deposit items a little more easily. There are several options for how to implement this based on how robust you make the algorithm, but even a simple version should help considerably and be relatively straightforward to implement into you current design.

You could use the Googler to consolidate all the items you want into a shulker box, then crush that box and transport it back into storage. Or, do you mean to defragment everything?

cant wait for someone to make an hour long tutorial on this after they reverse engineer it, then inevitable community refinement, then this is the new gold standard sorting system like the etho clock is the gold standard adjustable clock. incredible!

[@joonyjun7861]

I doubt itll be the new gold standard cos the most common item filter one right now is so simple and easy to set up for anyone. But for sure it's gonna get popular

[@unobtanium]

Those actually exist already. There were a couple videos made that reverse engineered the original Pixel contraption made by Etho. As Etho mentioned, this isn't the first time he build this. Although it is now using the new redstone blocks :D

[@mattasurasgamz2773]

Etho has found a way to find items easily in a storage system without having to organize everything, pure genius.

[@liamrichardson1220]

Even after last week's "comment of the day," I didn't realize how much I missed some of your more creative intros until I saw your intro today.

[@LEPrecon007]

Man, that storage system is amazing. That intro was amazing. This episode is perfect. Etho is a wizard plain and simple.

[@zadeviggers]

I loved this episode, especially the in-depth explanation of the redstone (and Prickles of course!).

[@Wunba]

I just wanna say thank you Etho. I've watched you from years now. I usually forget to watch your videos but when I do, they make my day just a little better! Funny way to start a video with the dream super clever!

The speed on that thing is seriously impressive, that's some quality Redstone engineering

[@FiniteChaos]

You were the OG 'Minecraft done technical' KZbinr back in the day, and you've said it yourself before-your audience has grown with you. Unique stuff like this has been the backbone of your channel since the beginning and it's super cool. Not boring at all, and honestly love hearing about how all the pieces fit together, so don't worry so much about it! And always the option to use chapters to timestamp redstone explanation sections if that's a concern. Also would love a tutorial or at least a world download for the search core! That's so much more compact than I'd expect was possible

As a complete redstone newbie, I find this type of video really interesting! It’s fascinating what one’s able to do with redstone ! And I also love your intro :))

[@jasonreed7522]

The best general redstone tip i can give is learn to look past the components (dust, repeater, hopper, comparator) and see the functional block (the item filter, hopper clock, logic gate, ect). Design contraptions at a functional block level and then figure out how you are going to make those blocks. (Sometimes called subcircuits, I'm just used to my electrical engineering terms)

[@Todi_YT]

He sounds like he has so much fun! Hearing that in his voice makes the viewing experience 10x better! You can also tell he's enjoying it a lot more because of all the little things he does in his recordings like that story! We all appreciate you Etho! Loved watching you since I first started playing minecraft back before 1.7.0

[@romeocastle2374]

this feels like a hard fix to having messy shulker boxes instead of just organizing them lol. This is a very impressive redstone contraption!

I really like the story telling each episode

[@Lucas-zw2mj]

This episode is worth gold The intro, the dream, the Shulker search system Such a great episode, wow

“The dream is forever lost in dream world.” One of the worst feelings, I’ve always woken up and thought, “Wow what a great dream!” And a few seconds later my brain tells me.. “What dream?” Then it’s gone.

I'm not a redstone person by any means, but I love watching Etho talk about his interests. Loved the dream sequence too 🤣

[@ethanoro17]

since the length of search scales linearly with the number of shulker boxes that are in the system, it would be cool to have a way of combining/coalescing the contents of the shulker boxes together to reduce the time it takes for each search

I understand absolutely nothing about Redstone, but I never skip a Minecraft video of yours, Etho. I always enjoy watching it, and when you get more technical I just get amazed by how you can do all this things xD It's impressive and I love it!

[@SeaKing61]

My initial thought when I saw the dream redstone contraption was that it looked just like the Guude's fun house prank by Team Canada all those years ago. Truly the ultimate expression of the ancient art of Von Sway. Thanks for another amazing video, looking forward to the new base

[@nolife874]

I love the episode someing you probably thought of but you can store swords and armor in this if you add a key item to the shulker just loke a dirt named "sword" or "tools" and when you use the same named item in the filter it will return any chest with that key item in it. Can even go as far as adding extra key items like have "diamond" and "tools" in one "stone" "tools" in a second and "diamond" "swords" in a third so if you search diamond it pulls all the diamond chest both the diamond tools and sword chest or can search tools and grab the diamond tools and the stone tools out. There so so much you can do with this I love it

[@snowfloofcathug]

Never considered that, that’s so cool. Indexing shulker boxes with a named item so you can store 26 otherwise unsortable items, brilliant!

[@blakefosse6154]

@@snowfloofcathug You could even do more with it. name the thing "redstone toolbox" or something, so you can retrieve organised shulkers of good. Wonder how far you can extend the storage for the overall build before things start to break.

[@pacemaker5637]

I think he would be great at redstone tutorials. Maybe he could upload them as a side project, or do that on a second channel. Only with the purpose of showing devices he creates in his series, such as Hermitcraft and his LP. I really want this design, as though I’ve designed a search engine before, I’ve never been able to get it that fast.

[@franny6221]

when he goes "i'm not gonna explain it because it's boring" NOOOO EXPLAIN IT PLEASE I WANNA UNDERSTAND :(

[@johanejp]

Agreed! I've actually found myself missing the days when he would really dive into the redstone and work through some of the challenges with us. I actually have pretty fond memories of the mastermind game in his SP world for that reason, even though it was mostly forgotten about afterwards.

[@sacobwatts9792]

i dont find redstone particularly interesting when watching others, but when you explain it I actually understand and can comprehend what youre describing. I adore these types of videos, let alone the story you wove and the dream sequence and diary were seriously funny, and thats coming from a 17 year old.

[@sunshinias]

This was such a delightful episode. I kept laughing at everything, especially the opening sequence. I loved the part with Prickles! As someone who doesn't understand redstone, I thought your explanation was really good and I totally got the gist of what was going on. I'd honestly love to hear it explained more in-depth too.

[@gege0298]

damn, now THATs a high effort episode! love this new iteration of the shulker search engine, it might be interesting to make farms that automatically feed items into shulkers if possible. like have a buffer chest for each farm that once full enough does a shulker search and refills the ones that come up. anyway, love your stuff!

[@fenn7]

Yes, this was definitely an interesting episode, and your explanations made sense! (Though I'd have zero chance of replicating your result haha)

[@jasonreed7522]

Its definitely one of those builds you get the high level theory behind (add a filter item, check each box if it has that item, if yes put in pipe 1, if no put in pipe 2), and yet to attempt to replicate it, especially with how compact and tightly timed it is feels impossible. (Its one of the few builds a block by block is possibly a better tutorial than a functional block by functional block) Ps: functional block is a term i learned in microelectronics to describe a group of circuit components that perform a specific task so you can just draw a box arround them and simplify the total circuit because you know they are just a clock or something. Basically don't look at redstone as the individual components but as groups of components that combined are just an item filter. (You design at the functional block level anyway and then figure out what goes inside)

[@MinurielLai]

The excitement you feel for the things you build and create is INSTANTLY visible in your content and it's infectious! I don't understand most of your insane amazing contraptions, but I could listen to you excitedly explaining them for hours and feel excited too :)

[@IainBLittle]

Etho, I absolutely love the shulker search engine, and I've loved the idea since you first made the Pixel! I have a few ideas that I think could improve its function and fix some significant issues. TL:DR - Shulker search engine puts recent searches at the end and it makes common searches slow, instead, put recent searches at the front, make machine go fast. :D Go get a snack for this one! One issue I cant help but find annoying is that when you search for something and then dump the positives back into storage at the end, they get added to the back of the storage system. This means that if you search for the same item again you need to go through EVERY negative result before finding all of the positives at once, and because the negative shulker order remains the same after searching, the most searched items will always remain at the end of the search queue as each search gets appended to the bottom of the stack. So not only is the most recent search the slowest to re-search, but the system remembers all past searches in the shulker order meaning that a common search will always take longer than an uncommon search, which is exactly the opposite of what a good search engine does. I would propose keeping an empty buffer chest similar to the positive search buffer you have under the ender chest, but in front of the main storage stack, so when the Positive search 'RAM' is dumped to permanent storage it gets added to the front of the search priority rather than the back. Then, when you read from permanent storage, have the system first pull from the 'last search buffer', and then pull from the front of the main storage stack. That way, even if the next search is not the same search, those shulkers will remain at the front of the permanent storage stack after they move through the search engine and the new search can populate the 'last search buffer' once you dump the search results. This would result in common searches remaining at the front of the search queue, resulting in faster search times. I would recommend not simply placing the 'last search buffer' in series in front of the main storage as then if you stop a search halfway through the buffer will be filled with whatever was about to be searched, rather I would place it in parallel to the main storage, with a comparator to read if the buffer still has items in it, locking the main storage from being searched until the buffer has been emptied. One other issue that can still occur is that when you stop a search, the search order will change to begin exactly where you left off, rather than at the beginning of the queue again, resulting in common searches that were not actively being searched for being once again somewhere in the middle of the search queue. If there are many searches between each search cancel then this will only impact the search time the first time a common item is searched for since the cancellation, and then the problem will fix itself, however if you cancel the search every time you get one shulker with the item you need then the order will always be messed up in some way. The only way I can think of fixing this in a reasonable way is by arranging your entire main storage in parallel rather than series, where one box is read at a time, starting from the first chest each search (As opposed to reading from the same chest all the time and having the next chest filter its shulkers through that chest, where if a search is stopped the front chest has whatever was next to be searched). This means that if you write the negative shulkers back to main storage one chest at a time, even if you cancel, if you start back at the beginning the shulkers are still in order with an accuracy of about one chest (only useful with multiple chests of storage, but this only really becomes that big of an issue with multiple chests of shulkers) (Inaccuracy is due to the chest that was only partially read through, rather than the that was partially read through). The main issue with this is in order to put the 'last search buffer' shulkers back into the main storage stack, the first chest must be emptied into the second and so on. So basically every search you would need to shift the shulkers down one chest down the line in order to place the last search in front. You could do this in a smarter way by having your entire parallel storage system be in a loop, where the 'last search buffer' is just the next chest in the loop, and then you read if a chest has items with a comparator and if chest N has items it locks the hopper of chest N+1 so chest 1 is emptied first, then when you dump positives back you use chest N-1 as the 'last search buffer', then you start writing your shulkers back into main storage starting with Chest N, and your next search starts at Chest N-1 as it having items in it is locking chest N, therefore starting the search one chest earlier. By having the chests in a loop, you ensure there is always a chest N-1 to populate with the last search's positive results, and as the negatives are being filled back in starting at chest N, free space will open up in the loop ahead. This method can also solve the problem of cancelling again before all main storage shulkers have been read in one of two ways, first you could simply 'defragment' the storage device every so often by letting a search run to completion, thus collecting any shulkers left behind in the loop, or if you use the comparator locking the chest directly behind it if it has items to test if there is a free chest in front of a chest of un-read shuklers the comparator would unlock their chest and you could set up a system which routes unlocked boxes into the next box in the event they are unlocked, and also a search is not actively being conducted, I don't know how exactly that could be implemented, but this is just the automatic solution which can just be solved manually. Although my second suggestion is a bit of a pipe dream for the ultimate shulker search engine, I don't think my first suggestion is too far fetched. You may need to rearrange some parts of your search engine access point, but adding a separate chest which the positive results are sent to rather than the main stack, and then reading from that chest first wouldn't be too daunting of a task for how much better of a search engine it would make this system. Also, as long as you let the majority of your searches reach completion, the second issue is much less important. If you implemented this into any of your shulker search engines, I think that would be super cool. Hopefully you enjoyed my comment and found it interesting! Thanks for reading, Have a wonderful day, Take care, Bye Bye!
