This kind of Redstone explanation video is so helpful in understanding how Redstone and minecraft in general works. Please make more of these videos as they help a lot.
Even as a total redstone noob, I found this video very entertaining and could follow along quite well. I always wanted to have a storage like this on a survival server and now I know what design to use. Thank you!
I love how you always break down complicated redstone contraptions and ideas to make them accessible! Every time I watch one of your videos I can feel my brain cell count doubling, from 2 to 4.
Yes I am with you. Yes I appreciate you going through it piece by piece. Really really really really really valuable. You are a legend. I really appreciate the time you spend building these videos. It may take me more time to watch than it takes for you to make because I rewatch them so many times.

Its refreshing to have less of the block by block building and an actual detailed explanation as to how it works and the mechanics of how it actually works.
for the last couple years i've been working on a compact comparator based redstone computer, which i finished last year. However my knowledge of redstone dates back to 1.5-1.7. To see how far we've come and how much there is to learn inspires me to try and use this sort of redstone to make a much more compact redstone computer. i don't think i'll be able to, but you give me hope. thank you
These videos are awesome for someone who doesn't understand all going behind the scenes. I'm now hoping for a vid combining the bulk storage with this multi item sorter
saw the previous 2 videos on the topic, thought "this is cool but very overkill for most of my storage" & started looking into multi-item sorters.. ofc this is one of the first results. beautiful. Earned a sub for that one lol
I know I'm like 3 years late... But with items that are most commonly being sorted, you could connect a memory cell within the storage system to completely eliminate the need to check each chest individually.
This really is a well done video with just the right amount of detail. I really appreciate you going through some of the common gotchas. I think I'm going to have to play with this design.
Love this type of video, it helps me understand storage tec way better I was annoyed by some hopper order location al dependency before and knowing this makes me happy about it
While much of this is over my head, it was incredibly interesting and I now have a much better understanding of MISS's in general. Thanks for the great vid!
this is, exactly what I was looking for, but its going to take me a long time to figure out how to implement it in the very specific use case I'm working on
You are so underrated dude. My finance has zero interest in the technical side of the game, but your videos get me so excited I end up talking to her about them all the time. Can you maybe do a video where you apologize on behalf of us more techy minecrafters to our partners?
This is really cool! It's a shame that it's not completely silent, and it does feel like it would be laggier than normal multi-item sorters, plus it's a lot larger. But it's still such a fascinating contraption, and the concept is genius. I built two multi-item sorters before, Maizuma Game's and Rapscallions. Maizuma's was slow when sorting a little bit of a lot of items, and Rapscallions was very fragile (At least when I was using it on a server), I had to be very careful about chunk loading, and even had to slow the intake of items because it would clog up (I asked the server admins about it and they said that that the server was run on Paper, which handles hoppers slightly differently).
you know, with an encoded item sorter, you could actually feed batches of items to smaller, simpler sorters such that this system works with INCREDIBLE speed for sorting individual items. my guess is (for practicality) eight item types per silo, and batches of five silos together forming a hallway of forty individual item silos
This is the second time this week you've revolutionised item sorting! Also, this might be a bit of a stupid question, but wouldn't it be possible to tile the box splitters by 1 by having two rows of them facing each other? (something like Rapscallion's multi item sorter: th-cam.com/video/EZh6Npg_UIw/w-d-xo.html ) Unless those box splitters are directional, of course.
I did consider just having two rows of themhowever then you would need hopper spam the connect them to the dropper lines and they add a heap of bulk to the system. I'd much rather wait to see Data's 1wt solution.
Wait, for multi item storage, as long as the items don't despawn you should be able to do a snaking pattern for multiple item sorters per line, and have each sorter lead into a hopper line which is connected to the chests. I understand that this is slow, clunky, and makes each chest line at least 2 blocks wide(might be ways around that last bit)
Well now I have a new favorite multi-item sorter. It almost feels a shame to actually build a storage hall as with the rate of progress atm it would be outdated in a week.
Shulker boxes are "encoded" to a slice of the storage system every time it sorts a box. The encoding is some arbitrary number system which is dependent on the number of slices. Technically this system is Hexadecimal encoded because there are Hex + Deci = 6 + 10 = 16 slices. But if you had more slices the number system would technically be different.
Tick warping for one hour isn't verifying that it works. Especially with gaussian random momentum. I had contraptions like that break after 100 hours of ingame time and more. Also I believe in your design where you show inter slice interactions there is a 2nd mistake with the shulker dispensers
I've obviously stress tested these systems off camera for much longer time periods to verify that they work. Also you can never be certain that something is reliable. Only less and less uncertain of it's reliability the longer it runs for. Because the gaussian random momentum only ever has a +y component placing a block above the box makes the box breaking 100% reliable.
Mojang could solve this heartache with a distributer or sorter block...it would also help with hopper lag. Each update includes more blocks but zero practical sorting or inventory upgrades to handle the growth of items and item types. (bundles and shulkers only add to the problem).
A one block solution would make most of storage tech redundant. Ideally Mojang would simply give us better tools to enable things that were not previously possible. Like for example it would be cool to have a feature that can pull items from a specific slot of a container somehow, as this would enable new kinds of item sorting which can check whether containers have only one item type, or new types of encoding by indexing container slots.
Hi! Is there a chance there's one item missing in the overflow item filter? The storage of the world download was not working for me, and then I noticed it had 18 items on the last filter instead of 19, so I put one more and it seems to work good now
Thankyou so much! The world download wasn't working for me either and I was about to give up thinking it just didn't work in 1.18. But then I saw your comment and I found the hopper that was missing an item and now it works perfectly.
There has been a lot of development since this design. Boyenn glotz and raffq made an entire parallel entity item sorter with a variable set that is far superior. As for the multi item sorting capability people have been working on better designs.
Hey @cubicmetre quick question. Is there any necessity to have two filter items instead on one? I modified your awesome design to sacrifice speed for reduced complexity, like replacing the piston bolt with powered rails. However the minecart wasn't fast enough and always sucked up both items. That's when i realized i can also use only one filter item instead of two. This would create a hole when it gets sucked up, but the item can only go back to it's original spot anyways. In case you're interested what i also did. boxes will first go through a box merger, creating shulkers with only one item type before being sent to the multi sorter. Therefore i could get rid of the whole item sorting in the back and sending the boxes straight to unloaders, which makes it possible to make the whole thing 1 wide tileable.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what resource-pack are you using? I've noticed you have arrows on some blocks. Or is it a mod? Anyways I love in depth videos like this! GJ
On the world download I run in the second frustrating issue on the shulker unloader . Is there an alternative sorter available : I can't place the block in a other order since I don't now in Wich order you place them the first time ... Sorry for the English language I am not English
Ah, you need Boyenn's first item unloader which is 1wt and much more reliable.. His video for reference: th-cam.com/video/125LUiq2MBA/w-d-xo.html The version he made had a slight issue where boxes could get lost when broken. He made a fix which I have here: www.mediafire.com/file/onjry92x0pwo2k9/first_item_unloader_boyenn_v2.litematic/file Add that to your system and it should work fine. This video was a proof of concept which simply isn't reliable so I probably should not have release a wdl in hindsight, sorry for your inconvenience.
@@loickbf1225 You can try locating the affected hoppers and changing their configuration so that their tick priority does not matter. If this is not possible then the only alternative is to break and replace the hoppers in the correct order every time you try to use the machine.

Hey cubic, fellow Australian here hoping you'll read this, I'm in the process of designing my own version of a multi item encoder for a larger binary encode storage system however I'm having trouble pulling only one item from a shulker box with a hopper minecart. I have experimented with different timings including the exact same set up used at the start of your video including multiple different orientations and locations however I am still only able to pull exactly 2 items. Do you have any advice?
Are you using a piston bolt or a powered rail? Hoppercarts pull an item every gametick so you need to move them a block every gametick or they will pull multiple items from each inventory. A powered rail moves the cart at 0.4 blocks per tick and so the cart will sit on each block for roughly 2 ticks pulling 2 items. So what you need to do is use a piston bolt to move the cart 1 block per tick.
Hey@@cubicmetre, Thank you for your response, I actually am using a piston bolt however this shouldn't matter as I am referring to the system you showcase at 3:37 in which the hopper minecart is stationary. I'm using the exact same timing as you're system in the exact same orientation yet the hopper minecart always pulls two items instead of one. On a less important topic, whereabouts in Australia are you from.
