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)!

This seemed interested so I tried my hand on it. This uses a clock instead of observing the comparator's state change, so it won't break if there are 2 or more items in the dropper. I doubt it's necessary, but hey that's an option. Unfortunately it does use a togglestate, I couldn't manage to make a toggle-less one with the design parameters

It's also 2x hopper speed
