    As of right now, sorting items (maybe from farms, mapart islands or just generally island tidiness) is a PAIN in the a**. The classic hopper item sorters are PAINFULLY slow, and doesn't let half the items through.


    So here's my suggestion:

    On economy, the problem with farm lag was executed pretty well; croppers. Got rid of 2 lag sources (water harvesting system & item sorters) with 1 idea.
    But could we have a similar system on /skyblock as well? Maybe not croppers, but a hopper that collects specific items and ignores other types.

    I believe this would be beneficial to a lot of players and, if executed correctly, can be done without causing too much lag!


    On the other hand, if this won't be considered, pls increase hopper speed :(

    Yeah have like a hopper, which takes input 1 item as a filter and then just hops those items. Gg ez.

    I see the benefit, there are ways to make sorters/filters that work correctly with minimal loss on the server, for most other things there are shulker loaders. I like the idea of a catch all hopper but, it takes away from the essence of the game and I doubt would fix that much lag.

    So, Neutral, Could be good, but pushes us further away from a vanilla experience.

    Weren’t sorters broken by the ‘non vanilla’ movement of 16 items at a time through hoppers.

    Does that change save a whole lot?

    One work around that people have used has been to have everything go through dispensers that have a very rapid pulse to push the desired item in to the correct chest. That chest would have every slot filled with 1 of each item to be filtered.
    This probably increases demand more than is saved by moving 16 items at a time.

    I assume the change was made based on the logic that moving 4 times as many things 4 times less often has the same result. And that is true if you are only moving one type of item.
    But if you have 4 different individual items, as you might have in a sorter, then it just takes 4 times longer.
