Stores a partial box until another partial box with the same item type is input, after which both are output for merging.

Features

• Up to 312 item types, 26 types in 12 sliceDefinition: A repeatable ( Preferably tileable ) component within a system.s.
• Uses CUDs and a built in variable encoder-like device to quickly identify slices storing a specific type. Takes only 70gtDefinition: Minecraft iteratively runs its processing code in a loop. One cycle of this loop is called a Tick or Gametick (gt). Gameticks are also used as the default measurement of time while working with re... to insert a box if no match is found.
• Even distribution of boxes across slices during initial filling. Afterwards, boxes are put in from furthest to closest slice to the input.
• Automatic ejection of overflow when there is no more capacity.
• Built-in item alignerDefinition: It aligns items within a block to ensure some sort of behavior.

• Pauseable

Considerations

• If a matching item type box is stored, the boxes in a matched slice are cycled through a variable box filter which can take up to 8*26 = 208 gt extra.
• Expanding the design to store more item types is not straightforward

Notes

Press the wooden button to start processing input. Flip the lever on the yellow concrete block to pause the system. Can theoretically work in Minecraft 1.16+
