Features

• 98% hopper locking
• 1mspt idle, 5mspt active (i5-9300h with lithium 1.17.1)
• 544 chest hall items, two double chest capacity per item (~7k items)
• 90 bulk items, 1.5 million capacity per item
• 10 multi item categories
• Unstackable sorterDefinition: An item sorter that sorts unstackable items into different categories. Regular item sorters can not be used for this use case, because the items don't stack, so unique behaviors of each item type h...
• Parallel unloaderDefinition: A contraption that removes item contents from a shulkerbox., which allows for sorting items in parallel
• Some chest hall items have a assigned bulk sliceDefinition: A repeatable ( Preferably tileable ) component within a system. for when they overflow
• Multiple peripherals (furnace array, crafting station, nano farms, etc.)
• Full system status output panel
• Basic error checking, which can pause the input if there is a problem

Considerations

• Originally designed to fit Ingenium SMP’s needs, so you may need to change the item layouts
• Requires manual refilling of storage chest with stacked boxes for empty box distribution
• Only 8 slices of the set-based parallel unloader array used to limit client lag
• Additional red locking lines on chest halls are optional and need position adjustment
• No direct bulk input to limit user error (can be extended if needed)
• Unstackable sorter despawns water buckets in 1.19.3+
• Wooden decoration requires lightning protection to prevent fires

Notes

All inventories that need to be filled (aside from empty box distribution) are marked with signs. Align the black/yellow square above the status panel to a single chunk unless repositioning chunkloaders manually.

Compatibility

Optimized for 1.17.1. For 1.16: replace 2 dispensers with powdered snow with waterlogged blocks and add pressure plate before rail to hopper. Issues in 1.19.3+ with unstackable sorter water buckets.

Instructions

1. Align black/yellow square above status panel to single chunk (reposition chunkloaders if needed)
2. Manually refill storage chest with stacked boxes for empty box distribution
3. Adjust item layouts for your specific needs
4. Optional: Add/adjust red locking lines on chest hall outsides for full hopper locking
5. Use signs to identify inventories needing filling
