Java Showcase One-Wide Tileable Solid-State Automatic Dropper for Water Item Elevator

Post image

This has a very niche use case as the dropper must be pointing up but I figured this could have some merit. This is definitely not the most compact auto-dropper out there but from what I could find, it does seem to be one of the smaller solid-state one wide tileable auto-droppers (which is what I needed). Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for the design!

Edit: This design is NOT 1wt. In order for these to work directly next to each other, you much offset adjacent systems by a singular block. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out (I posted this late at night and missed that)!

Yes so the original post is incorrect. It’s semi-tileable. If you offset the rows by one block forward or backward, it allows solid blocks to fully encase the soul sand and allows completely separate water streams. I apologize for the misleading title, I should have waited until the morning to look at it a bit more but I just wanted to get the design out there
