Using filtered proxies you can create simple sorting systems that are both fast and easy to understand. The filters on the right are black lists so all items that don't fit any other category can go there. (Faster and more efficient designs are possible)
Proxies can be used for transporting items more quickly than you otherwise could. That's can have as many hoppers as you want pull or push from a single block.
Note that the proxies still point to the furnace, because you are trying to pull from the furnace. For extracting items the direction of the arrows is the opposite of the item flow.
Unnecessarily complicated? Yes, but it's just an example.
Description
This mods adds proxies. What are proxies? Proxies are completely passive blocks that can target another block but do nothing on their own. However, if something tries to push items to or pull items from the proxy this will instead be redirected to the targeted block.
Item Proxies were a feature I originally implemented for Convenient Additions. They are a way to simplify item transport significantly without doing much by themselves.
At the moment the mod has proxies for items and fluids, as well as a variant with configurable item filters. Using filtered item proxies you can build an item sorting system as simple and compact such as the design below.
I would appreciate it if you leave feedback (but if you don't want to that's also fine)
