Sorter networks
Chests that sort your items on their own, no hoppers needed.
Build it
A sorter network is a few chests with signs in your own land. Sneak while you place the sign on the chest, then write:
| Line 1 | Line 2 | What it does |
|---|---|---|
[Sorter] |
Input: put your items in here | |
[Sort] |
a filter, like ores or wood, stone |
Target: collects these items |
[Overflow] |
Rest: everything without a matching chest |
The sign fills in the rest by itself and the chat confirms it.
Sort
Put items into the input chest and close it. A few seconds later everything moves to its chest. While a network sorts, its chests are locked for a moment, so nothing can get lost.
Filters
- Categories like
ores,wood,food,farming,mobdrops,tools,armor./sorter categorieslists them all. - Single items:
diamond,minecraft:stone. Wildcards:*_log. - Several at once, separated by commas:
wood, stone.
Line 4 can hold a network name if you want more than one network, for example farm.
Good to know
/sorter listshows your networks,/sorter infothe network of the chest you look at.- A sorter chest can only be broken when it is empty.
- Shulker boxes and backpacks are never moved.
