๐Ÿ“– SmartSorter Player Tutorial

A complete guide on how to use SmartSorter to automate your storage!


๐ŸŽฎ Getting Started - The Basics

Smart Sorter automatically moves and sorts items from chests into organized storage - like hoppers but WAY smarter!

The 5 Main Blocks:

  1. ๐ŸŸฆ Intake Block – Pulls items FROM chests or farm hoppers.
  2. ๐ŸŸจ Output Probe – Pushes items INTO specific chests.
  3. ๐ŸŸฅ Storage Controller – The "brain" that manages the network, search GUI, and XP bank.
  4. ๐ŸŸฉ Process Probe – Controls furnaces/machines with Redstone logic.
  5. ๐Ÿ”ง Linking Tool – Connects all components together.

๐ŸŽฏ What Makes It Unique?

๐Ÿš€ Industrial Scale (500+ Chests)

Built for efficiency, Smart Sorter handles 500+ connected inventories with ease. It is the perfect performance-friendly choice for technical mega-bases and massive modpacks.

๐Ÿ’Ž The XP Reservoir

The Storage Controller automatically accumulates all XP generated by your connected furnaces. Collect your entire base’s XP bank with a single button press in the Controller GUI.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Redstone-Powered Automation

Using the Process Probe, you can build advanced factory lines:

  • The Connection: Place a Process Probe on your furnace/machine and link it to the Controller.
  • The Power: Apply a Redstone signal (Redstone Dust + a Lever) to activate the probe.
  • The Result: It automatically pulls fuel and raw materials from your storage and returns the finished products to your prioritized chests.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Quick Start Guide

1. Simple 2-Chest Sorter (No Controller Needed)

  • Place blocks: [Input Chest] ← [Intake] ... [Output Probe] → [Target Chest]
  • Link: Right-click the Intake with the Linking Tool, then right-click the Output Probe.
  • Filters: Right-click the Probe to set specific items.

2. Advanced Setup: Using a Storage Controller

  • The Hub: Place your Storage Controller.
  • Connect: Shift-click the Controller with the Linking Tool, then click your Intakes and Probes.
  • Smart Routing: Use the Controller to search your entire network and set chest priorities. Items seek out dedicated chests with the highest priority first.
