BlendsGaming – Item Sorters Explained – Learn Redstone With Me – Minecraft Java 1.15.2

Hello hello and welcome to learn redstone with me I’m your host blends let’s get started today I’m gonna explain to you how and why items orders work now I’m sure a lot of you have made these before I know that when I first made a my head and

Absolutely no idea how this worked some kind of adult but I figured it out so I’m gonna I’m gonna show you guys exactly why it works and one thing you got to know is uh these hoppers here they give off a redstone of varying redstone signal depending on how many

Items they have in there now if it has 22 items in there it gives off one one power so the comparator will actually just give off one if you put just one more thing in there it’s gonna give off – okay that’s very important that’s the entire reason why these things work like

This because you’ll see that there are 22 items in this and then it’s gonna come light that one up its gonna power this thing and it makes the whole thing work so let’s go ahead and get started working on it so what you need to do you

Hidden need to have at least two chests for this to work this is gonna sort out your items so this is the front here obviously so you go to the back and I always like to make sure I put something like upside down stairs above this so

You can still open your chest there but let’s go ahead and build this and I’ll kind of walk you through why it works now we’re gonna do this backwards okay so what you need to do is you’re gonna try to be putting items from a hopper

Into a chest so you’re gonna take your your hoppers and just put them into the chest like that now you want this one to be blocked so in order to lock a hopper you actually need to power it so this redstone torch right here is gonna power this one which is gonna lock

It so anything that goes in there nothing’s actually gonna go into the chest there it’s locked it can’t it can’t do anything with it so in order to unlock that what you need to do is actually power it how are this block if you power this block here then that

Redstone will toward that torch will turn off okay so that makes it unlocked so it’s locked now I’m gonna put one of those guys in there alright now I’m gonna put this there it’s gonna turn off and now it’s unlocked so that is now in

That chest there okay so you in order to power this block you’re actually going to power with the redstone dust these in that block so this one will actually power this block which will power the repeater which will power this block which will turn that off which will

Allow that thing to work okay so now like I was talking about with this comparator here you need to have a signal that will turn it on once it gets to 22 items so you’re gonna go ahead and put in another hopper directly into the the the

Wall there whatever you don’t want it leading into this hopper because it actually won’t work that way if it’s not directly connected to it and then this thing I could turn it off if it is directly connected to it that won’t it won’t work it’ll just start flowing down

There so that needs to be facing into the wall there so we’re gonna go and do that with both of those so you’re gonna be putting your 21 blocks in here so you can use whatever unique blocks that are not going to go through your system and

If you want to use beacons I guess that’s weird flex but you do you and then go ahead and put your 22nd item in there so this block now with that comparator but we’re gonna do that is you’re gonna see that it has a very weak

Signal to it so that turned on so that means there’s a little signal and you put your redstone dust if I can grab the right one right there that one is powered if you put one more item in here it’s gonna power this block which will power that which will turn this off

Which will open that one up to go so let’s go ahead I’m gonna try to position myself so you can actually see go higher they can actually see this redstone torch and this block right here if I put one more cactus in there you’re going to

See this turn on this one turn off and then the cactus is gonna end up in the hopper right below there let’s just do that you see that real quick there now there’s a cactus right here but it turns it off just enough for one item to

Change through there now if we put one more a cactus in there it’s actually going to turn it off and one item the cactus that’s in there is gonna go into that chest and the extra cactus that’s and this one is gonna go down in here

And it’s going to shut off again let’s go ahead and see that one more time here you see it flick real quick there and now there’s a cactus in the chest there’s a cactus in this hopper and there’s still 22 items in this one that is it that is the entire reason these

Things work now in order to get your items over here what you need to do is you need to put a lot of people put it so whatever block they’re around their thing and you’re gonna put hopper facing into that block and another one facing into this block this one doesn’t have to

Be facing that way this one doesn’t either they can all be because it’s the end of the line they can just go straight down in there because whatever item gets past this filter is just gonna end up in here so you can just put whatever you want to into some other you

Just put a stare it’s going to pop in and this one over here okay will not pop in there unless it’s either a beacon which is gonna mess up your sorting so that’s why you want to make sure it’s something unique or this cactus that I’ve got in there already that’s what

I’ve got to set up to fine so go ahead and put a couple cactuses in there and a couple of redstone dust in this one and we’ll see cactuses will end up here and with some dust will end up here okay that’s that’s

It all you need to do is get in a line in this way and then so it’s gonna go in here and I guess I should explain how these work so when an item goes into a hopper it’s gonna decide where to go next if there’s a hopper or like a

Minecart hopper below it it’s actually gonna pull it out the bottom first and if it can’t go down it’s gonna go in the direction that this thing is facing so when you hold shift and you click on one of them whoops I was not flying I

Thought I was you click on it you can actually see that it actually goes into the spot that you clicked on okay so this one didn’t try to go down but a cancel is gonna go over here once it gets in here it’s gonna try to go down

Since it’s being filtered out if it’s a cactus or a beacon it’s gonna go down there if not it’s gonna go over to this one and this one is just gonna go down and doesn’t have anywhere else to go and it’s just gonna go right down there that

One’s not being stopped at all so that’s why anything else goes into that one and if you want to make this longer and do a whole bunch more all you got to do is just keep putting these in here these are just title one wide and then you

Just have an input chest like we got right over here it just goes into this hopper you can have this input chest come all the way around here if you want to it doesn’t matter where you put it you can just put your chest up there and

Now that’s the input chest so I’ll just put we’ll do those in there those in there those in there and some of those and we’ll see what we get well this one is going to go that’s right because Hellas cactuses see I have cactus filter in this one out so it

Actually just screw that up so now it’s gonna have 19 I got to actually get rid of all but one of these right quicker that way and then put that back in there and I don’t think it’s rude supposed to be torches isn’t it yeah there you go

See I broke it because I had cactuses as the unique item that was never gonna go in there I put beacons on this one that’s why it screwed me up so the cactus ended up down there because I did it wrong see that’s it that’s how easy you can mess stuff up if

You if you put something in there that doesn’t get filtered out all right but everything else stands up in there now if I put let’s say hoppers in here it’s gonna end up in that last one let’s just put a whole stack of hoppers and watch them come in

Yep they’re leo they’re not going in this one or this one at all because it’s filtered into the last one here okay I hope my explanation of how these work has helped you and taught you something and now you can design these and you’ll remember how to do them you want to keep
