Just replace the top chest with a Barrel if you dont want it to be a pass through Chest. You could also use more Iron and make them into hoppers but its up to you what you want to do k!

[guilhermesilva]

this guy not only explains how to do it, he even explains how to do it "fast and easy" <3

This is a great tutorial, but it took me so long to get all that netherite in survival.

Make sure the 4 filler items you use is something that will never enter the sorting system. It's best to use the anvil to change the name on the filler blocks so it is unique .

You're a hero! Another player paid me to build them a bunker on the server I play on, and I'm trying to make it as efficient as possible! I wanted to build a sorter for them, but didn't know how to "stack" the sorting mechanisms. Thank you so much for this clear tutorial!

The reason for the 41 blocks in the hopper and 4 other items is because that arrangement gives the correct redstone signal strength when one more thing is added to your first item slot, which unlocks the hopper by unpowering it. Your hopper then locks again when that number drops to 41. That's also why you don't want your sorter to go tooo fast - if the signal gets too strong from too many items in that first slot you'll add a little too much redstone signal which will then spill over to the next segment of the build.

I'm not great with redstone math, but iIfigured something out while building this purely through trial and error. I wanted to use eggs as my placeholder block because I have an infinite supply of way too many eggs. it seems like the signal strength is higher for 16-stack items, though, so the math changed - my hopper stops dropping at 29 instead of 41, which saves a bit on filling that first slot and might give a bit more leeway on speed. We'll have to see if there are any unintended side effects, but so far so good and i finally found a use for all those eggs.

@Chapman, I figured a way to lessen the required items for hoppers to work (without adding *blocking blocks*).

Item Conversion of hoppers needed from dust ~ plank:
64 Stack Items > 41 ~ 18
16 Stack Items > 10 ~ 4

I just simply change the redstone dust in front of the comparator with a plank instead, since it gives a better signal, and it's cost-efficient too, I rarely comment but thank you for the build, especially the Droppervater!

incase tl;dr
Hopper (Facing the comparator) > Comparator (Facing the plank) > Plank > Dust > Dust

I hope it's understandable, have a great day!

Edit:
Wording

[beezus]

this is by far the best tutorial I've seen, and so far building it it does work in bedrock edition too! Id say the only things missing are mentioning you should rename your "filler" items, and that you can use chests and cakes in place of the honey blocks !

[Joxmank]

Just a note: Placing a Sea Pickle on a corner block will straighten items going around a waterflow corner.

[Nekulturny]

I really appreciate your video. I've seen a couple others with massive builds, yes, they show you how to copy their design block for block, but they're not really putting a lot of focus on the technique as you do. I'm not looking to copy someone block for block on their storage room, I want to be able to understand the mechanics of the sorting system so I can make my own build to suit my needs. Your video very helpful in showing me the concept so I can apply it to my own application.

[caestusnoestus]

if anyone will ever see this comment: instead of honey blocks you can use chests/ender chests/cakes at every corner, they do the same job

[HapyyTheCat]

I watched Shulks design. and i was about to cry. Thank you for making this an achievable task.

[lowdensh]

brilliant video, i have watched a few different automatic storage / sorter tutorials today, but your explanations and demonstrations were the clearest and also straight forward. thank you so much!

[epicplatypus]

I had no idea autosorters were so simple
Definitely going to build this on my SMP

[MagicCookieGaming]

I've built this as a mega structure and didn't learn as much about the build as I did here, great job! Kept it simple and straightforward.

[SilverSL]

Love the tutorial mate. but few points which need to be said.
poacked ice stops from being able to open chest underneath.
(replace packed ice with slabs to be able to open chest underneath)
Also now this could be just server lag but even so, if you throw to many items at once into the water the hoppers will not pick them up.
so for your dump chest make sure to have the tick rate's set to a decent speed as to not overload the hoppers at once. otherwise the hopper will not pick the item up.
ive tested this on single player and multiplayer. it seems to be just a server side issue atm as single player doesnt do it but be warned.
lastly make sure to have the signs on the glass not the honey blocks.
items tend to be getting stuck on the honeyblocks where the signs are placed so make sure to place the signs on the glass side not the honey block side.
again could just be a certain issue but i had this issue on both my SPW and MPW. Oh also, space out the signs abit more. i had signs placed every 3-4 block which also made some of the blocks get stuck. i moved the signs 6 blocks apart and had no issues with the items getting stuck.

Tip I learnt from other sorter videos: For the item you want to sort, you dont need to put 41 of it inside the hopper, its a waste of materials. Instead, add 44 of the filter item (there are 5 slots in a hopper, put 1 filter item into the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th slot while leaving 41 remaining of the filter item into the last slot). Lastly, add 1 of the item you want to filter in the 1st slot of the hopper and everything should work. I tired it and it worked wonderfully!

[adamsweet]

Built it, build was easy to follow.
I moved each row of chests back by one block to allow for trickle down, bottom chest is always the fullest.
Issue with water way, honey seems to stop items from sliding on packed ice through water gaps, signs on glass side, only allowing water to go 5 blocks

Not gonna lie I think this is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen and the fact that u even show how to make it faster and easy is just really nice. Really good tutorial and by watching the video I already got some ideas how to implement this into my survival world. Great tutorial!

[ihalloway]

Remember.. its simple ice only.. cause otherwise chest wont open ! this ice water technique is great, gonna go faster, will look aesthetic, and would be cheaper than using tons of iron and redstone.. besides everyone puts their input chest way too high .. i reccomend watching "minecraft tutorial - compact automatic sorter". Dude has made that chest is at same alignment as other chests !
