Minecraft: DUSTLESS Multi Item Sorting System

[@chernobyl169]

I will proudly be building a Cortezerino Storage System in our multiplayer world. This is great!

[@ryanrodgers3099]

I dig the design. It's compact, easy to follow, and relatively cheap as far as multi-item-sorters go. Good stuff! One note: You can replace the anti-lag composters with any full blocks now (glass works, or whatever other block you want), I wanna say that it was 1.19 when they updated hopper behavior for that. Possible upgrade for people: If you really want to keep things "unload safe" from running away, you can take the same lines from the redstone lamp indicators (take a repeater out of the block that the other repeaters point into) and send those to a chunk loader (or a few of them if your storage fits in a bigger than 3x3 chunk area). It should then keep the storage space loaded in while it works. You could also add a manual switch if you wanted, but since the signal is already being pulled for the lamps, tying that to the chunkloader isn't really any extra work.

[@BrandonVout]

It was in 1.20.5 where they made full blocks disable hoppers.

[@n8n51]

I was thinking about this too, a chunk loader is an an essential add in these type of systems IMO. Thinking that one could automate the flushing system as well. My first thought would be to have 2 pulse extenders, a long one that controls the chunk loader, and a second shorter one to trigger the flushing system. Probably need to do a flip flop so the flushing system doesn't trigger the flushing system, or use the detector rail to block a retrigger. A few ways to do it I suppose, I think I will have to play with this idea a bit.

[@kidhow]

@@BrandonVout does mudblock count?

[@BrandonVout]

@@kidhow No, hoppers can grab things on top of mud blocks.

[@n8n51]

Great system, has got me thinking about adding a chunk loader and an automatic trigger for the flushing system. Very thorough tutorial.

[@Phylthya]

I've been longing for a storage system like this for years! Thank you so much, this is great!

[@shadan2three]

I foresee this system popping up in a future Lotus SMP episode! I do love a good multi-sorter. Very nice!

[@MoxTheWalrus]

Literally designed my new storage system in creative, having abandoned auto sorting because I wanted to do double chests stacked on top of each other and I couldnt find a system that worked for me and then you post this and its perfect!!!! Now to jerry rig it to accomodate smaller columns and two floors! EDIT: Got it all going except now that I'm testing the whole thing it stops sorting randomly. I don't have the heart to check the redstone again :/

[@MoxTheWalrus]

rebuilt it all from scratch, items are still stopping in random hoppers, redstone is good, rechecked it multiple times. Looks like this just wont for me, a better redstoner than me might be able to figure it out

[@beingatliberty]

Had the same issue mechanism stops, lots of items don’t make it round the system to their chests? items items don’t make it the output chest etc

[@thedramaticherbalist]

I'm not a huge storage tech person myself but I love seeing what other people come up with! Gonna have to keep this concept in my back pocket, I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point!!

[@ethanvalentine4299]

After recessing the blocks at the end you could even put glass infront to clean things up a bit more and still be able to see whats in each chest. I really like this build and will probably be building it in my own server thank you for this its way more compact than my current setup.

[@Cortezerino]

Yeah, I tried putting glass in front but I wasn't sure about it. Tuff walls didn't look too bad when I put them in front.

[@MorezysMinecraft]

Looks very tidy mate! Well done!

[@bottled_unicorn]

building this in survival rn. have had some issues. some on my part, some seem to have made from themselves. will report back when im done trouble shooting all my issues. As of right now they have been fixed and the system is working great.

[@bottled_unicorn]

Update: system has been working great. I changed the repeaters on the bottom to be 4 ticks rather than 3 ticks. This helps with clogging issues. I could not explain the redstone but sometimes the system would clog and stop working if there were too many items in the bottom dropper, changing the repeater to 4 ticks fixed this. This only really helps if you don't have the flushing system working due to the fact that I haven't sorted everything and there are still open modules.

[@sabrinasugar2819]

I literally just built one from an older video of yours in my redstone world. As soon as I saw this pop up in my feed I had to watch. ☺️ Thanks for the video!

[@sabrinasugar2819]

Just finished building this one now. ☺ It's nice to see the full thing. It helps to see how it all comes together, especially since I still don't fully understand redstone. Thanks again for the video.

[@exocakes4587]

Looks really great. We're only playing on a free server hosting website so this dustless compact one would fit in without causing lag. Will be building this underneath that Japanese Castle base of yours... once I build it after flattening the place and gathering materials that is. edit: note - the main floor is 11x21, 6 blocks tall (from floor level), 4 blocks deep (from floor level), 6 blocks to the sides (from the floor)

[@rantaoca491]

I see you’ve added the flush idea, great job!

[@Cortezerino]

Yeah, I think using the poppies from an iron farm would be even better. You could just compost them when the reach the output chest.

[@BrandonVout]

​@@CortezerinoThat's brilliant. Iron farm poppies are the closest thing to a waste product Minecraft has. You can't stop making them in large quantities and they don't compost efficiently enough to make a stand-alone bonemeal farm. Might as well siphon them off for sorter fillers/flushers.

[@matty4z]

a redstone build even mumbo can envy

[@acheronexile]

Wonderful work, it's beautiful!

[@SuperLlama88888]

Very small and compact, great job!

[@Unleashed75]

But it's not when you understand it's a 2 block tile-able design, compared to gnembon's 1 block tile-able design.

[@acmelko]

Great build! How is it different from the most recent item sorter you released? Trying to decide which design I should use.

[@Cortezerino]

It's the same design as my Modular Sorting System, but this one has extra add ons to optimize it, and it runs a bit faster.

[@verygood158]

Great work brother Is it for the Hiroshima Castle or you will make another video on that?

[@Cortezerino]

@@verygood158 It’s for Hiroshima, but we’ll use poppies from the Iron farm to flush the system

[@shreyaroy2312]

Bro will u add a whole village tutorial japanese style

[@sespider]

I've spent the last year trying to get auto-sorters to work for my iron and guardian farms (on Xbox). But they ALWAYS break by pulling in the blocker blocks. It's incredibly tiresome. I now have a room full of chests for non farmed items. So I'm going to have to try this sorter out for that. But I'm not about to waste a lot of time building every row. I managed to get my Creative world converted back to a Survival one with achievements. Before zi did, I set it up to give myself structure, command, and bedrock blocks. Which means I can set it up so no one but me can get access to the redstone elements. It also means I can now use Structure blocks to copy the setup over with far less work! Or copy the entire system to a new base! I so badly hope this system works for Bedrock. Tired of my sorta breaking.

[@Cortezerino]

At the moment it only works for Java, but I'm currently working on a bedrock version.

[@sespider]

@Cortezerino Well nuts. There goes my night's plans, I suppose. Thanks for the info.

[@Cortezerino]

Looks like it won't work on bedrock. I have a few working designs for the individual modules, but they break when you put them side by side.

[@sespider]

@@Cortezerino Well crud. I appreciate you trying. And more so for getting back to me with the result. Thank you.

[@sespider]

​@@Cortezerino Although I'm a novice at redstone building, I built your sorta in my Xbox Bedrock world anyway. I was hoping my ignorance may stumble upon a crumb to solve the Bedrock issue. And it looks like I might have, by way of the comparators. Particularly the very first one. On my end, the comparators go into a endless loop without moving the items out of the 1st dropper. But flipping that one comparater around, allowed it to start moving the items to the next dropper. Flipping it again, moved it up one more dropper. However, this is where the chain stops, regardless how I rest the 1st comparator. This is where I'm hoping your redstone knowledge solves the issue. Somewhere along the first two columns of comparators seems to be clogging up the line. Maybe there are too many for Bedrock's needs? Or they might be too close to one another and causing the loop? I'm gonna send you a short clip, via X, so you can see what I see.

[@qawistudio2245]

I hv build your aesthetics smelter, so cool.. I waiting for this build in aesthetic

[@sarafigus7756]

Do you actually need sea lanterns for this storage or you can use any solid or light block?

[@Cortezerino]

You don't need sea lanterns, just a light block

[@NightHawk-wj9mz]

I wonder how I could add some auto crafting modules to this design 🤔

[@gugadone]

Yo bro i might give this a try

[@Sugar_Fish]

Great!! ❤

[@randomdude6232]

How fast is it? does it reach hopper speed?

[@AgentStarbuck]

Can you use frog lights where you used sea lanterns? I have an abundance of frog lights but not sea lanterns

[@Cortezerino]

Yes, frog lights are fine.

[@Zzztpl]

Okay so I finished making this; all lamps are working fine. I tried to fill the input chest on the left side with a bunch of items (certain items have their own chest already, others chests are empty). However, all of these items got stuck in the top chest of the first row (on the left side), no idea how to solve this... My light bulbs are all fine... Thx for helping out!

[@Zzztpl]

This top chest didn't have any items in it before I filled the input chest though, is that a reason? I still have to fill a couple chests with a specific item.

[@Cortezerino]

@@Zzztpl The items are entering the first chest because there's nothing in there. Fill each slot of the chest with a single item and then they'll only enter the chest if they can stack with those items.

[@berzerkerburger9482]

Great tutorial. I'm having a weird issue though, and only my third section works. When I put items in the input chest of my 1st or 2nd sections, they get stuck in the hoppers, droppers or chests at the very top. It doesn't seem like an issue with my clock because the bulbs don't stay on or anything. Seems more like an issue with my torch tower. Any ideas?

[@berzerkerburger9482]

I have a chest connected to the very first column of hoppers, and the items are getting stuck in two hoppers above it and the chest at the very top. It's every other hopper

[@Cortezerino]

@@berzerkerburger9482 if you’re playing on bedrock edition then it won’t work. If you’re on Java then it sounds like a torch tower problem. You can post screenshots to my discord so I can have a look.

[@dabi3946]

[@Cortezerino]

[@inge6280]

Looks great for in the japanese castle

[@beingatliberty]

Built the whole thing in survival with great effort, just cannot get it to work reliably at all, lots of issues with it stopping leaving items all over the place, sometimes items not making it round the corner, if any of the redstone gets out of sync it goes out of control.

[@Cortezerino]

You can try putting the repeaters on a 4 tick delay, that has solved issues for some people. Also if you leave the area while it's running it will break. You can also check to see if it breaks in the same spot all the time, you might have misplaced a piece of redstone. If a clock breaks, it'll break all the other clocks in front of it.

[@christianc.1632]

Does the oxidation of the copper blocks matter?

[@Cortezerino]

Oxidized copper bulbs put out less light. This means the froglights can cancel out lighting updates from the bulbs, so there's less lag.

[@Zzztpl]

Does it matter which copper bulb we use? There are 5 types

[@Cortezerino]

@@Zzztpl waxed oxidised is best because it puts out less light, which means less lag.

[@Zzztpl]

@ Alright thank you Sir!

[@stene_7806]

can you use frogglights in the place of sea lanterns 😅

[@Cortezerino]

Yes, that's fine

[@Robo_on]

@Cortezerino , can i uc glow stone instead of sea lantern?

[@Cortezerino]

Yes, it's fine to use any light block in place of the sea lanterns. But not for the froglights.

[@AgentStarbuck]

Word of advice. Don’t use a redstone block to mark your redstone chest 😅. It took me way to long to figure out what I had broken

[@Cortezerino]

lol, I nearly did that too. Redstone ore is a much better choice.

[@gothicviper5306]

can this work with redstone lamps ???

[@Cortezerino]

No, it needs to be copper bulbs

[@NonJohns]

surprisingly common question

[@williamludwick77]

The reason for the copper bulbs vs redstone lamps is due to the state retention of the copper bulbs. Redstone lamps when powered by a pulse won't remain in that state (on or off) for more than a second (or a couple of ticks) after it loses the power signal. Much like if you were to use a button on the lamp. Copper bulbs however can retain the state (on or off) from a pulse until it receives another pulse. Similar to if you used a lever to power something - it stays on until you switch it off.

[@christianc.1632]

@@williamludwick77does it matter whether the copper blocks are oxidized or not?

[@williamludwick77]

@@christianc.1632 I'd have to go back and look at his redstone again, but in general they do give off different light levels at the different stages (normal, exposed, weathered and oxidized). So in theory, you should be able to detect those different states. But I'm not 100% sure that matters in this application.

Just built one slice of this on a server I play on but I'm having some issues, roughly 25% of the items I put in just bypass the spot they're supposed to go in. I tested with 4 stacks and got 62 items in the output chest that should have been in one of the sorted chests. Is this just because the server is running on paper and there's nothing I can do about it?

[@Hundr_]

I guess redstone torches dont flash either... 🤣

[@Cortezerino]

I've accounted for the lighting updates from the torches, there are light blocks built into the design so the lighting level doesn't change.

[@Unleashed75]

Yes, this does use less "Redstone" BUT this is much larger than gnembon's design, not the other way around. His stores items in chests and shulker that are in 1 block wide tile-able fashion while yours is 2 blocks. Making yours in the same footprint, store half the amount of items. I will add that yours does offer a place to store items in an item frame that do not cover most of the chest up, making it easier to access the chest and know what's in them, but item frames do add to lag, so if people can, use item player heads or even signs. If you're gonna use signs, may as well use gnembon's design for more storage space in the same footprint. Not hating on the design, it's just not as small as you say.

[@Cortezerino]

The redstone for a slice of gnembon's is 1x10, mine is 2x4, so 2 blocks smaller. Also mine doesn't need the extra redstone that his has underneath to power the system. Having said that, his system is great.

[@Unleashed75]

​@Cortezerino But you need twice the amount of room to store the same amount of chests, which is what I'm getting at. Besides, 1x10 is just 10 blocks per slice. 2x4 is 8 blocks per slice. Again, I'm not hating on your design but it's not half the size, it's closer to double the size when you are looking at storage space. It would be nice to see if you could make it 1 wide.
