Storage & Sortingintermediate1.5+
ITEM SORTER
A single sorting slice that filters one item type from a hopper line. Uses a comparator to detect when the filter hopper has extra items, then unlocks the bottom hopper to send them to storage. Tileable for full sorting systems.

Step-by-Step Build Guide
- 1Place the main hopper line (input stream) running horizontally.
- 2Below one hopper in the line, place a second hopper pointing into a chest (the output).
- 3In the filter hopper (the one in the main line above the output hopper), place 1 of the target item in the first slot, and 1 non-stackable item in each of the other 4 slots.
- 4Place a comparator reading out of the filter hopper (side output).
- 5The comparator signal goes into a block with a redstone torch on the far side.
- 6The torch output powers the bottom hopper, keeping it LOCKED (items stay in filter).
- 7When the target item fills the filter hopper past the threshold, comparator signal rises, torch turns off, bottom hopper unlocks and pulls items into the chest.
- 8Tile this design side-by-side for each item type you want to sort.
