Hi, I built a Tango Tek sorter in the Minecraft and there was a problem you see in the video. Does anyone have experience with this problem? I will be happy for any advice, thank you very much.
What exactly is the problem? When a hopper gets powered, it locks. It doesn't pick up or give away any more items, wich is the principe behind item sorters.
This means the items you want to sort into the specific chests, have to be filtered with hoppers containing the items you want in the chest.
If you have a chest with 1 diamond in each slot and the hopper connected to that chest is filled with any other item, it can not transport the item.
This means the items you want to sort into the specific chests, have to be filtered with hoppers containing the items you want in the chest.
That is the usual method of item sorting but the design in question here relies on spreading the items out in the chests so that there aren't any empty slots, except in the overflow chest, so the hoppers can just put the items in the first chest that has room for them.
One benefit of this design is that it still works on servers with plugins that make hoppers move whole stacks at once instead of just single items, which breaks the usual design by emptying the filter hoppers.

This video brings the basics on the point:

Skip right to part 2 of this video.
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q
What happens when you put items in the input chests like you're supposed to?
The redstone is supposed to be blinking to move the items through the sorter, I presume that gets started when there are items in the input chests?
Just testing.

Where I build this filter?
As Hexalobular clerified the storage system you've build from Tango Tek doesn't have item filters.
It just puts the items into the next free slot of the next chest in the system.
I suggest downloading the world from Tango Tek and take a look into the chests.
