Item Filter

The Item Filter is a block which enables you to build compact item-sorting systems on your island. The Item Filter has one input (top), four configurable output sides (red, yellow, green and blue), and one overflow output (bottom).

How it works:

  • Place a chest or a hopper on top of the Item Filter.
  • Right-click the Item Filter to configure what items are output where.
  • Place a chest or a hopper adjacent to each configured output side.
  • Items will be pulled from the input chest/hopper and filtered based on your configuration.

Overflow System:

Any items that are not configured in the filter will be treated as overflow.

  • Items which do not match any of the four sides will either stay in the input chest/hopper, or they will be output to a chest/hopper placed beneath the Item Filter, if one is present.

Tips:

  • You can chain together multiple Item Filters in order to create complex, large-scale sorting systems.
  • Placing a fast hopper on top of an Item Filter will cause items to be moved through the Item Filter at the speed of the hopper. High-tier hoppers will help speed up your island's Item Filters.

Hoppers

Tiered Hoppers are upgraded versions of normal hoppers. They are used to move items between containers at a much faster rate than standard Minecraft hoppers.

Advanced Hoppers have six tiers. Each tier transfers items faster than the previous tier, making higher-tier hoppers useful for larger farms, faster machines, and high-output item systems.

As your island grows, higher-tier hoppers become important for keeping up with the amount of items your setups produce.

Crafting:

Tiered Hoppers can be crafted in the workbench. Every tier above Tier 1 requires four hoppers from the previous tier, as well as additional crafting components.

Each upgrade builds on the last, allowing you to improve your item transfer speed as your island progresses.

Chunk Hoppers

Chunk Hoppers are used to automatically collect dropped items within a specific chunk. A chunk is a fixed section of your island. The Chunk Hopper will only collect items inside the chunk it is placed in.

You can view chunk borders by pressing F3 + G on Java Edition. You can also use /chunks on both Java and Bedrock to view chunk boundaries.

Any item dropped inside the same chunk as the Chunk Hopper can be collected by it, no matter where the item drops within that chunk.

Chunk hoppers have six tiers. Chunk hoppers and tiered hoppers move items at the same rate, for each tier.

Chunk Hoppers can also be configured through /island settings. This allows you to choose which items each Chunk Hopper should collect.

Crafting

Chunk Hoppers can be crafted in the workbench. Crafting a chunk hopper requires a normal hopper (of the same tier as the desired chunk hopper) as well as additional crafting components.

Tips:

  • Place Chunk Hoppers in chunks where a lot of items are being dropped.
  • Use multiple Chunk Hoppers if your farms or machines are spread across multiple chunks.
  • Combine Chunk Hoppers with Item Filters to create larger automatic sorting systems.
