New Minecraft redstone features

In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft redstone video, we take a look at the new redstone functionality added to decorative pots in the latest Minecraft Snapshot: Minecraft 23W41A. This Minecraft 1.21 update introduces a bunch of new Minecraft features, including the Minecraft mob vote, and new redstone features.

Item splitters already exist but I think they're bulkier. The pot version could work if, when you're down to one item in the pot, you lock the hopper under it to give other items elsewhere in the top container a chance to go through. Just a couple ticks pause should be enough.

[@T-035]

Additionally you can use them to sort items that aren't stacked in 64. For example snowballs and buckets. It works without any delay (except for the time it takes hoppers to do their thing)

[@IronDino]

I think the issue is that Decorative Pots can't 'pull' items, they have to be fed by a Hopper. Even if you lock the outgoing Hopper to leave a single item, there's still nowhere for the items in the incoming Hopper to go.

[@T-035]

@@IronDinoI'm fairly confident I found a workaround to this issue. I have a video posted on my channel with a design that works pretty well with sorting 16 stackable items

A single slice of a item sorter. With nothing in the first slot of the top hopper and an additional dummy item. A water stream pushes the items in a loop above the "sorter" to group items. Then your contraption separates them in different shulkers.

[@T-035]

Yeah it's more than possible, it's very simple like you were saying. I used it to sort items that can only stack to 16 since I couldn't find any designs that would. I made a video on it but my design could do for some upgrades.

[@randomperson1731]

The item splitter you created is actually extremely useful to increase the speed of automatic sorting systems (they did exist already but your design is way simpler). Without splitting, you can only dispense 2.5 items per second into a sorting system due to hopper speed, but if you split the items and for each type of item dispense 2.5 per second multiple slices of the sorting system can run in parallel because any single type of item will only be dispensed at hopper speed (assuming that there is a workaround to the item order issue creating multiple shulker boxes for the same item; for this use case there might be some method like before beginning to unload a shulker box checking whether the item is already being unloaded, perhaps using more pots).

I also think that pots could be used for lag-friendly downwards hopper chains. You could alternate pots and hoppers, so only half the blocks are hoppers, so less searching lag, and its better than droppers or chests for example because it only has one item slot for the hopper to check.

the decorated pot makes the sorting side of compacting blocks(in the crafter) easier. if you have a system in your mine that takes all the resources(gold, copper and iron ore, lapis, redstone & diamonds) you collected and condenses them down into blocks, that may well have a use as you don't want blocks of different types to mix in the crafter and want to know when the item type switched. It's a niche one, but it's a use!

[@DemonKing19951]

I still think trap pots need to be a thing. Basically if you break it while it has TnT, lava, fire charges, splash potions, water, or even ender pearls inside they end up activating immediately upon the pot breaking. With each doing what you'd expect, including ender pearls immediately teleporting you back to the pot in question. Very, very multiplier or restone railway centered use, but I think it'd be cool. At least that use would end up playing redstone's ability to give you quick transportation and set up horrible traps.

[@timohara7717]

Yes that's what I was thinking not normal pots doing that and they activate spawn evgs

[@LiamTolentino]

I would love if they also added a new pottery sherd that allows you to craft a pot with a little window on the side so you can see the item inside. Not only would this look really cool (especially as an alternative option to item frames) it would also be useful for anyone using pots in redstone contraptions so they can see what's already inside :)

[@kasbakgaming]

My first thought was to use the pots in a super smelter that uses hopper minecarts for item distribution. Currently there isn't a way to get exact stacks of items using signal strength; you're always going to get a little over or a little under. With the pots, you can use this system to lock them until they fill up with exactly one stack, then unlock to add them to the hopper minecart for distribution. No overages, no partial loads, guaranteed perfect distribution for fuel usage.

[@colincayden2068]

Hear Me Out: Have them spawn in desert villages, desert temples, jungle temples, monster spawners, and trail ruins. They'd contain more than one item, but it'd make more sense in naturally spawning places. On an semi-related topic, sniffers should sniff up fossils, bones, and more flowers. Adds to archeology!

The pot actually seems perfect for mob grinders with item storage; since the comparator's power level can detect unstackables, items that you'd want to store/dispose of separately from the main materials are very easily distinguished!

sorting items at a raid farm. More compact and organized storage, it might work there, if you can get it to fill the shulker before breaking it.

[@andrewnyland]

Raid farm, piglin farm, witch or skeleton farm, speed mining for resources. Ultimately it’s anything you need to transport or use in organized bulk, organizing is much easier after that’s done.

[@PizzaMineKing]

The shulker thing might get rid of the need for item sorters entirely for mixed-item farms, as long as enough shulker boxes are provided... and each chest doesn't "block" an item from getting in - like, if you have an industrial district, at the moment, you need a bulky storage system even for items you want to carry by the shulker, meaning you need to sort the items first, then come there with empty shulker boxes and fill them. Now, you could use the new pots to fill shulkerboxes immeadiately, then just grab the boxes you need out of bulk chests. Now to think if there is a way to sort shulkers by type and you get a storage system that only needs one shulker loader upfront instead of one for each item type your industrial district may produce... If the stack order thing can be solved, that is...

[@IronDino]

I think this is probably the only usage for it, again at the expense of large amounts of Shulkers.

[@PizzaMineKing]

@@IronDino however, if you have the means to do a massive industrial district, you're usually late-game enough for a shulker farm to exist on the server...

[@Huntracony]

The problem would be non-stackable items. With this system I believe each non-stackable would get its own shulker. I guess it's possible to sort out the non-stackables first and send them to their own shulker loader, but it would make the whole thing a lot bulkier. Possibly still worth it in some cases, but not exactly an easy alternative to item sorters.

[@mr.phantom674]

@@Huntracony would it? it took multiple stacks of the same item, so shouldn't unstackable items also work?

[@PizzaMineKing]

​@@Huntraconygood point, non-stackables are a bit of a problem here, however you would need a filter for any non-stackable items regardless, so this would still be a net-reduction of space used as it would get rid of all filters for stackable items - reducing the currently O(n) problem of sorting stackable items to a O(1) problem - only needing additional filters if you have non-stackables and a way to sort these non-stackables (regarding space) Unless the plan is to keep non-stackables mixed in overflow, in which case we still have a O(1) problem of using a "non-stackable" - filter and this new system (once the stack order flaw is solved), turning the sorting system of any industrial district regardless of item count to a constant.

I think the shulker storage would be useful for massive builds! If you're working on a mega structure with tons of blocks, having them all separate into different shulkets would be really useful for organization and keeping track of resources!

[@ritasonka330]

@@smash_bro_757 Because the pot only has ONE stack of storage (the lowest we have), ~every 4.something 64-items after the first increase it's comparator output. So you're correct that it can't tell (on its own) the difference between a pot containing 2/3/4 items. It could still be useful if the specific numbers you want to differentiate happen to be the ones that tick up its comparator power. A pot does probably do something other storage containers don't: force a player to insert items one at a time. Since it makes an animation when it does so, I'm guessing that it will pulse an observer every time it gets an input. Hook that up to a counter and something that triggers based on the count after a certain amount of time from first insertion, and you could count exact numbers. This is of course assuming that you can't insert faster than 1 tick, which I'm not sure is true; if so, it would probably be much more reliable to use hoppers beneath a different storage set up to pulse once for every item inserted (more redstone than a pot +an observer to do so, but certainly possible) and hook that up to the same counter/timer circuit.

[@syntaxerror9994]

Rather than drain the pot when it's full, set the lock on a timer so it's pulling more items while draining the pot, then when the pot gets down to a certain level (because there's no more items in the source chest) the feed closes, the shulker box is switched when the pot is empty, then the feed is opened and the drain is closed. Repeats for next item.

[@taticlesYT]

Yes this is what I was thinking too.

[@TheRealWormbo]

The issue is, the hopper above doesn't know what item type is supposed to go into the pot. Item gates on most modern multi-item sorters (without minecarts) just use hoppers for this purpose. The hopper is filled with dummy items in the patter 0-19-1-1-1 and becomes a standard item filter when an item enters, but the hopper below only unlocks a bit later, so it doesn't drain the single filter item out. (Yeah, and sorry folks. Pots having an inventory doesn't revolutionize storage tech.)

[@4ardW0rKINGbarn1CAL]

@@TheRealWormbo dang

[@Idran]

​@TheRealWormbo Does that matter in this case? We're still talking about an item splitter here after all, not an item sorter. If we're currently actively filling up a shulker with, say, 8 stacks of redstone using the OP's suggestion, the hopper doesn't need to know it's redstone going into the pot, it'd just need to also be slowed just enough that the redstone doesn't entirely empty from the hopper so long as there's still redstone in the chest to pull in. Once there's none left, what's in the hopper will flow into the pot, then into the shulker, and then once the pot's empty you lock the output hopper and break the shulker to move on to the next shulker to fill with whatever's now in the first full slot in the input hopper.

[@EmrysMaier]

I expect if you just slow down taking items out of the pot to 1/2 hopper speed, it will handle the multiple stacks/order issue. It just keeps the pot from emptying until all of one item is gone from the input chest.

[@turtle-bot3049]

This is really clever actually. Yes it would be slower, but it should clear out the entire feeder chest without issue. The only thing that would need to be added is a simple shulker fullness switch where if a shulker gets filled it sends a redstone signal that forces the piston to break it so the system doesn't clog if there's more than 1 shulkers worth of items in the feeder chest.

5:30 OH you could have a system where it takes a bunch of junk from looting, sorts it into separate boxes, and then sorts those into groups based on theme. It sounds like just an extra step on paper, but the sorting by theme would have more possibility for variety because depending on what your exact storage needs are you could determine whether you want it in shulker form or item form. I can't think of any good distinctions off of the top of my head but I'm sure there could be some uses to that.

The only way I can think of is letting the hopper completely fill up before putting the items in the pot.

But its not chest nor pot that do pulking or pushing. Its hopper between them. If you have 6 different items types in input chest (1. Item, then 5 other items then 1.item again) your hopper will fill with those 5 others and will not be able to pull the other stack, so it will not push them either. In worst case scenario you can have 26 different items in a single chest (and one repeat) so you would need minimal of 6 different hooopers trying to feed the pot but that is imposible - there is space only on 4 sides plus 1 from top.

The decorative pots are going to be used as an op item sorter for a mob farm... lets say you want to have an afk skeleton farm that fills shulkers with bones or even arrows, you can try to add a filter system into 2 separate shulker packers with a final chest for the bows that drops, so you got the shulker fillers for just bones, and a filler for arrows, while the bows get seperated into a casual weapon chest for bow replacements, EXP from grinding enchantments out, or finding an add-on to your enchanted bow (or if your playing a multi-player server that has some sort of ecomony, you can use the farm to sell the shulkers of bones, arrows and maybe use the bow drops for an additional product of trade)

With the functionality of the pot, you could theoretically condense storage silos tons and save so many resources. You put all you items into a pot, and they could either filter as many items as possible through one pot or have an individual pot for every item that you regularly collect with hoppers under them that fills a chest. All you would have to do is figure out how to stop a pot from putting its items into a hopper.

You somehow lock the last 4 slots of the hopper between the chest and the pot. Then you let the items build up to at least 2, before starting to suck them out. That way the hopper will only try to suck out the items in the first slot out of the chest, meaning it will priorotize that item over other items in the chest, even if they are slot 3, 6, or 27 in the chest.

[@opticchild]

That could be quite useful to separate out unstackable items and stacks to 16 before heading to a sorter.

[@calmzgaming4589]

That would be really useful to keep things tidy in a sorting system that doesn’t have certain items in it :)

[@margustoo]

If you could use pots to filter items to shulkers then you can repeat this process by randomly opening shulkers and filling them up again. Every time you repeat this prcess you increase the change that items get sorted properly no matter the original order.

[@volehunter]

This will work well for taking correct items for payment at a store, you just have to count how many you need as well. Edit: Just in case you need it. Have a pot with hopper beneath pushing in to a barrel or chest. Then in a 1X2X4 area behind the hopper and pot, place a block behind the hopper with a repeater pointing into it, and 2 redstone dust behind that. On top of the dirt behind the hopper, place a comparator, comapring the pot. Then add a block above the repeater and add another block heading further back. Place two redstone dust on top of those blocks and a redstone torch on the back of the last block. The redsone torch should be over the last redstone dust on the bottom. The pot will always have 5 items before any items get to the chest. Then you just need a counter to check the correct amount.

“Before I sort myself into a shulker box and I’m not even sure what that means”

[@PizzaMineKing]

I think I can mathematically proove that the order problem can not be solved without loop-back: if there is a gap of 5 stacks, the hopper will fill the pot with one stack (or less) of the item, then fill up with different items, so slowing down output alone won't help unless we have continuing input. However, if we loop back the already sorted items as long as their shulker box isn't full, we can guarantee that continuing stream , creating a situation where a stack plus 1 can be guaranteed in the system as soon as no other items are in-between... The hopper feeding the pot must fill up including at least one of the currently sorted item to combat the order issue.

My initial thought for this problem is to somehow group the items in a chest first before then splitting them into shulker boxes with this system. It might be super bulky, though

[@sparkytbd]

This shocker box contraption could be very useful for sorting through large amounts of stone after mining. Like if you guys are a large amount of materials in the mines for a giant, mega build, you could use this to sort your materials. Although you might need to make it a bit bigger lol

[@KillerBeesy]

Hey @ThatMumboJumbo - I had a play in the 23w42a snapshot with the new crafter and came up with a solution to the unreliable ordering issue some have mentioned by locking the initial line of input hoppers with torches, and releasing them sequentially with 1 progressively longer delay on each repeater input turning off the torches in order. It needed a 1 tick pulse generator to correctly trigger and not let more than 1 item out at a time, and the first repeater therefore had to be in position 2 to pass on the pulse, but it otherwise works reliably. Then expanded it by adding a comparator to the crafter to detect when all slots were full and loop back a pulse to trigger crafting, but also kick off another cycle by triggering the pulse generator with the same output from the comparator. Put a multi-input AND gate on comparators out of the chests on top of the input hoppers and run that into another AND gate alongside the 'start' button/crafter trigger, and you can stop the cycle when any of the input chests run out, to prevent a 'half baked' set of items entering the crafter. Refill the empty chest and hit the button and off it goes again until something runs out. Happy to share my untidy version for you to laugh at then refactor as I'm under no illusion that you could infintely refine and make it smaller than 11x18x4 and probably also tile, but you've probably already got ideas and can visualise what I'm doing from the decription above (I hope!) - Combine it with an item sorter or hook it up to a storage system feeding the various inputs and you could have multiple recipes crafted and returned to the storage perpetually while there is available resources for each recipe. I'm also in no doubt that you could use the kinds of logic that is used by the likes of @MrKorwaldski to select blocks using encoders and music disks which could also be used in a much simpler way to define and encode recipes and output the right blocks in the right order into a single 9 hopper line and single crafter per 'shape' to allow the 'any item' crafting that people are suggesting...

He will love the crafter

Mumbo is gonna have a FIELD DAY with the crafter.

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

Mumbo, there's a very useful use for separating out items into their own shulker box: CLEANING MESSY STORAGE! As for a design: I think if you want to feed an entire single chest into a pot you'd have to use 3 dispensers, and I don't think emptying a double chest is feasible, as there's no real way to get 18 stacks per side into the pots at the same time without some monstrosity of a looping design.

[@xenoplayspl6239]

im waiting on Mumbo's view of the auto crafters and their implementions

[@BeauTheDogFrog]

Im so excited for it

[@minisapo6652]

Here after Minecraft live, wouldn't this be a great way to place individual stacks in the order you want them in the autocrafter?

[@powwow7061]

Heres a better idea on the item sorter: Instead of having 1 input being a hopper with 5 item slots, have 4 hoppers coming from 3 sides and the top for a total of 20 item slots constantly trying to hop it in the pot. This system will then try to squeeze around 20 different stacks of item in the pot. Its not a flawless fix but it will drastically reduce the chance of creating 2 shulker boxes for the same material.

[@crosstek17]

I like coming up with minigame concepts in Minecraft. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was "Oh, you can put different items in pots, then have players pick a pot to break to see if they got the good/correct item."

[@totallyrandomuser5760]

I loved watching Mumbo do magic with pot

[@CityNaturePig]

The snapshot is for 1.20.3, not the 21 update.

[@Connor_Moore]

Etho’s “The Googler” would be a slow, but effective way of solving the “out of order problem”. First you “google” the item which brings up shulkers with the single item being filtered by the decorative pot. Then the single item loader created can load the items. Rinse and repeat. If there is an item “out of order” the system doesn’t discriminate between when the item was put in so it can recall the same sorted box. Would this be slow? Yes. Is there probably a more compact and less convoluted way to do it? Yeah probably. This would just be a baseline way of solving the issue presented at the end.

[@MyNameIsJeery]

You can make a game on the hermitcraft server where you shoot a random pot on a wall and get a random item, from dirt to diamonds. 1 diamond for 2 shots! Make it so when the pot breaks it transports the item inside into a chest at the front where the player can recieve it.

[@anything_expert]

Do something with the crafter

[@pldkdpl]

about new redstone features...

[@justinlipkin]

You might be able to leverage the full-pot redstone output to know when you need to let one pass until the hopper above feeding the pot runs out of items? Not sure how the timing would work especially with single stack items. It'd probably have to wait the length of two hopper pulls to be sure it's grabbed what it can and the hopper is empty so it just needs to empty the pot

[@SamLaGrange]

6:42 is my favorite way to use the pot so far!

[@skulkingshadow]

AUTO CRAFER ADDED IN NEW SNAPSHOTTT!!!

[@EricJohansson]

How would you change the pots to make them more useful in a redstone contraption? What about if they only accepted the first item type it received (even after they were emptied) and to change the item type you had to break and replace the pot?

[@lethososdonkeypuncher6585]

I'd do it through a label sherd. First item the pot takes is displayed on that side (this goes for multiple label sherds on same pot.) I think it's possible to pass an ItemStack into the pot's NBT to keep til it's broken.

[@PizzaMineKing]

I have a stupid idea that could solve the order-problem at a slight loss of speed: We need to assume farms feed into the contraption via what I'll call input A. They are then sorted by the system as-is, stumbling on the stack-order problem. If we have the contraption then check if the shulker box is full, we can send it to what I'll call input B. Input B is mixed in with input A, effectively causing that item to enter a continuous stream supplied by the farms and a not-completely filled shulkerbox. This will cause the next shulker box with that item to contain more of this item, solving the order problem as long as you have further input

[@thebigadministrator4421]

It is useful for item sorters, because you only need 4 items, when in hopper you more (inmportant when you filtering netherite blocks..)

[@lygencore]

The only use for pots in redstone is to work as a capacitor. They don’t break when moved by a piston and drop all of their content at the same time, it’s useful for item entities stacking and to release lots of items at once. edit: pots do indeed drop when moved by a piston. Thus pots are useless in redstone contraption.

[@nbgaming9737]

i thought they do break when moved by a piston?

[@T-035]

I've managed to make it sort snowballs and buckets and stuff which wasn't possible previously unless you used allays. Anyways I think it's very useful for redstone.

[@lygencore]

@@T-035 Snowballs have always been sortable, as have buckets and all non-stackable items (even before allays except for telling apart armor pieces and totem of undying)

[@lygencore]

@@nbgaming9737 My bad you are right. It do drop but the pot does not shattered. Still it makes my point useless, I guess they really don’t have any usage in redstone at all.

[@liam17788]

[@GoodCheeez7787]

2:32 you coukd use this for a kind of secret door, like adding some pots around a piston door, and you need a combination to open the door.

[@forderdrek8757]

separating items into separate boxes based on item types is quite extensively used in storage tech. It's been done using VARIABLE item filters ( item filters that can automatically switch which item they're sorting ). They're quite bulky compared to your design but they don't suffer from "the different item problem" . It's called "shulker box splitter". So I guess "everything in redstone is a compromise" holds true.

[@juanmanuelderito]

I wish a time machine to show everyone that tought the allay was gonna be a revoluion in storage that we are still getting new item sorters and nobody uses the blue little guys

[@mkks4559]

Allays are incredibly good and nobody can convince me otherwise. They are the best collection system in the game (the only flaw is that they aren't hidden).

[@yomanyo327]

Because nobody bothers separating the things that the allay can separate(ie. Unstackable items and such)

[@maanas_sehgal]

When an update got a redsone update which *Mumbo* can't find a use of ""THE UPDATE IS USELESS""

[@murtagh8415]

Ur item splitter design did exist. But it was huge. However making it small, and robust (the old designs weren't even sneeze proof tbh) it has massivly simplified a theoretical, to my knowlage, sorting system. Which is a binary sorter. Using the shulker splitter, it would be possible to sort items at full hopper speed, with only 1 unlocked hopper at a time. Or, alternatively, sort shulkers at a time. But it needs 'clean' inputs

[@kaz49]

Wait. I just had a thought. Pots have HOLES on top of them, so shouldn't they be able to pick up items on top of them, like hoppers, Mojang? Hmm? That'd make them at least somewhat useful for item sorting.

[@benjaminmcinnis6683]

thank you wholesome mustache man!

[@nameredacted6221]

Mumbo getting excited about redstone is the most heartwarming feeling

[@tenthant]

I can't wait to see you cover autocrafting ideas. It's the most exciting change to vanilla, imo.

[@JojoAPineapple]

Use more than one pot to filter it. If you filter the items that double up eg: the redstone, through the first pot then into the second pot, the items should be stacked In Order. Otherwise, if you were to make it slightly more complicated, you make multiple machines that you have shown in this video, and have them all hooked up to the chest and to the same pot. Due to the pots size and shape you can have a maximum of 4(?) Machines, one for each side, maybe a fifth one for the top. This wouldn't fully solve the problem, but it would increase the amount sorted over a period of time. Another method could involve having two pots hooked up to one double chest using the machine you designed, then both these pots are filtered into a chest, then filtered into another pot at the bottom, similar to how water purification systems work.

[@amcuhrd]

The seperating of items like you did with the shulkers was already possible. The "old style" multi item sorters used it to seperate item streams going trough. This works much better tho!

[@Spring_Proto_Gaming]

It's always a good day when mumbo uploads

[@m0thernature730]

You just solved a problem I faced a long long time ago when I was trying to make an item sorter that would make me a shulker with a customized pick block by placing a shulker and pressing buttons thank you for showing me how amazing this is for single sorting

[@owldudevlogsgaming3707]

I think the shucker item sorter would be quite helpful with some farms like witch farms if you hook it up to the chest system

[@lookitsalizard]

[@Spectervamp1]

5:45 this feels like it could go pretty well with the way Etho likes to store and sort items; it could pair well with the googler machine he made and funnel all the items it finds into a single shulker box

[@Kyleplaysgames567]

I can see this being good for adventure maps. Break the pots to get items.

[@electra_]

The item separators can already be made, but it requires a bit of extra circuitry to remove the filter item from the hopper at the end. And they actually are somewhat useful - allowing items to be transported around in larger quantities via shulker boxes could speed up item sorting (you only need to sort 1 box at a time instead of 1 stack / 1 item)

[@KJSDASHOPAHOLIC]

New rule: no recent Minecraft feature is considered "New" unless Mumbo Jumbo has made a video about it.

[@fabiant.2485]

How about a adding a a few steps at the end of the contraption: - sample the content of each output shulker and depending on it's content store that shulker in a separate double chest (or tower of double chests). - If at this point the shulker is not completely filled and another shulker that is also not completely filled exists in that double chest then take them both out and merge them. It would basically be an entire storage system at this point. With the "benefit" that the item filters don't have to be set up manually, but rather grow procedually.
