You could use a ladder, but that isn't as cool or as fast. Here is a table of numbers if you need it. If you want, and I do suggest doing this, label the levers 0 through F, which is 0 - 15 in hexadecimal, and if you want you can add the binary equivalent. If any of the stone blocks move over the torches when the levers aren't flipped, just move them back(picture 14) (pictures 7 - 11)Ĭonnect the two layers together in the middle with some more observers and rails (picture 12)Īnd then repeat the entire thing two times over again. Place more rails, more rails, more rails, stone, observers, more stone and more rails. Anyone who knows binary may notice the patter reflects the binary numbers 0 - 15. Place some stone, and observers like in the pictures. To place rails against the way they prefer to align, place rails on every other block, one longer on each side, then fill in the spaces and then remove the extra rails.(picture 4 - 5) Place some stone and some more rails, if they are not aligning properly, there is a trick to placing them. You can test it by flipping a single lever and the pistons should cover every other lever until the lever is turned off. Place an observer from about this angle on one of the two center blocks (picture 3)

Repeat until you have 16 levers (picture 2)

Place the stone, lever, redstone torch, repeaters, rails(either powered rails or activator rails), and pistons as shown in the above picture.(picture 1) That is 9 + 7(5) + 6(9*6) = 368 shulkerboxes per item,ģ68 shulkerboxes * 27 stacks per shulkerbox * 64 items per stack = 635904 items per each sort able item.Ħ35904 items * 4096 theoretical maximum = 2,604,662,784 possible items.Ħ35904 items * 512 practical limit = 325,582,848 items.

One dropper, 7 hoppers, and 6 double chests that can be filled with shulkerboxes, One more thing to mention is it takes less than 10 seconds on average to request an item (depending on the computer), which would be a lot faster for a storage system of this scale, however a small system for only bare essentials would be much better for casual players.Īnd for a quick calculation of how many items it can hold, for each item there is, One downside is that the system creates a fair amount of lag, so to minimize the impact on performance, the system uses little redstone dust, and no entities (dropped items). Minecraft however has less than 512 stackable items, so you only need to build 1/8 of the maximum. One benefit to this system is it is expandable to hold 4096 different items. A minecraft storage system where the player inputs a location, using the lever selection panel, and at a push of a button the corresponding item (or shulkerbox) is sent to the player. This is a project I have been working on for a while now, A Massive Expandable Storage System, or MESS for short.
