Input Buffers
Input buffers are an optional component of an automated storage system. The input buffer will accept items from the input UI (usually in the form of mixed-item-type shulker boxes) and hold them until the storage is given the instruction to "run". Input buffe...
Temporary Storage (for bulk)
The following page does not apply to loader-based bulks nor any bulk that accepts loose items (as opposed to full shulker boxes) as input. Temporary "temp" storage is a front-logic component for a merging array (see the Mergers page). Temporary storages will...
Stackable Sorting
Stackable item sorters separate items by type are the very base of of storage tech. Nearly every storage tech contraption uses an item filter or a variation on the concept. How Item Filters Work Most item filters utilize the property of items that only allow...
Nonstackable Separators
Many contraptions require that nonstackable items be split from the stackables, such as as universal storage inputs and farm storages. Most nonstackable separators use the property of nonstackables that a comparator sees a slot with a nonstackable to be the ...

Block Property-Based Nonstackable Sorting
Although Nonstackable items cannot be sorted by conventional means, there are several items that have consistent sorting methods. The simplest nonstackackable sorters use properties of blocks to whitelist or blacklist certain item types. To sort, items are a...
Dispenser/Item-Property Based Nonstackable Sorting
The most versatile method of sorting Nonstackables by item-type is using dispensers. This is because dispensers have special interactions with a certain list of items. The following is a list of all items that interact with dispensers in a unique way, as wel...
