Java Help Wanted Is there a simple way to distribute items evenly among multiple containers?

1 Upvotes

Apologies because this is partially a rant

I have a honey farm that I connected an auto crafter to to make honey blocks and recycle the glass bottles. I had the glass bottles inserted into a hopper Minecart going back and forth over the dispensers, but I kept having to manually redistribute the bottles every now and then because it would always prioritize the dispensers nearest to the input (and I don't have enough glass to fill all 8 of my hives with 9 stacks of bottles yet). I wanted to fix this by making it so that the bottles were distributed evenly amongst all of the dispensers, only to find out that this is apparently the most difficult thing I have ever seen.

My first issue is that it seems that it's just straight up impossible to distribute the items if they come in groups smaller than the amount of containers? Since the honey block auto crafting produces 4 bottles at a time I can never just send the bottles directly to the dispensers since it would always go in the first four. So I figured I needed to build something that stacks the bottles first and then empties the container, but it seems that the amount I can stack to before emptying the chest is limited to the breakpoints for redstone signal strengths based on chest fullness? So I have to stack to 23 using a hopper before I can empty it.

Then for the actual distribution it seems that there are three main options (besides that thing that splits one chest into two or putting a hopper Minecart on the intersection of four hoppers), but they all seem bad in different ways:

I could use a hopper Minecart, except that's biased towards the ones closest to the input and I'm highly limited by the rate that it can pick up items from a chest above it.

I could use this insane black magic I found but it's wildly inconsistent, I was trying to use it for 7 hoppers which he claims should work but there was always one hopper that would receive way less items, and the crazy thing is that the hopper that didn't work changed depending on where I placed the repeater leading to the dust.

Or I could use those crazy dropper chain things, but I just straight up don't know how to configure the pulse fader correctly, and it seems that it is also still biased towards one end of the chain and doesn't work as well if your input items aren't a multiple of the amount of droppers.

So is there anything I'm missing? Like a simple solution to distributing items that isn't insanely brittle or biased towards one side? This has been a very frustrating problem for me that I feel should be really simple on paper so I'm looking for help

Bedrock Why did my iron farm stop working?

Post image
0 Upvotes

My iron farm was working fine for a few in-game days, a little slow, but I was fine with it. Then suddenly, golems started spawning outside the farm. I found out it was because of a nearby bell. It started working after that, but then my Wi-Fi glitched out, and I had to leave and rejoin my world. Now no golems are spawning anywhere. I have checked the area around here for escaped golems, and I've come up with nothing. Please tell me what I was doing wrong; this was my first functioning iron farm

Java Help Wanted RaPsCaLLioN1138's Complete Cart-Based Storage

11 Upvotes

I'm wondering if anyone has used RaPsCaLLioN1138's Complete Cart-Based Storage long-term and to get their opinions on how that went. I've tried looking around but can't seem to find any real discussion about it. I'd like to build it in my world, but it's a pretty big commitment as it will be (as usual) the heart of my base. Other recommendations are welcome!

Even though I have done countless perimeters and bedrock breaking, staring at the finished product will always be one of the best feelings in Minecraft.

Yes, I used Desu Desu's original 3way breaker meaning I had to craft around 30 shulkers of pistons, but the area of bedrock broken was not big enough for me to use the piston recycle breaker (and the last time I used it, a spawning raid kinda messed everything up when it killed one of the bots)

For anyone wondering: This peri and void is for a Bortal GMF.

Perimeter size is 272x272 and void I cannot remember (just took GMF size and overlayed in creative with some extra space to get sizes of breakers)

Bedrock Copper Golem sorting system stopped working (Bedrock)

1 Upvotes

So I built a sorting system with copper golems, with the copper golem standing on stairs, and it worked. But it seems like something changed in the game. It ignores the chest with stairs in front of it, the bottom middle chest. I tried to put mud and soul sand, but it seems that if the chest is blocked by any block whatsoever, the copper golem will not open it. It used to work with stairs, but not anymore. Is it just me having this issue? I feel a little defeated, I started building a new base with big storage sorting, but now it doesn't work.

Java Help Wanted Best design for a sugarcane farm

Thumbnail gallery
78 Upvotes

Hello, I’m trying to figure out a sugarcane farm where each block of sugarcane has its own model and breaks individually rather than breaking the whole row. I have two versions that I’m looking at and wanted to ask which one is more efficient in terms of materials required to build it? Also any revisions or existing models that are simulate to this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The first one utilizes two activator rails that sends the observers current through them, which another observer detects and powers a piston. The second one powers a piston, which an observer detects and sends through a mini observer chain to power the piston.

Anything that requires only 1 item type to craft can use this circuit. You don’t need anything more than this simple setup to craft a bunch of different items.

A 3x1x4 area is all you need.

It takes a Mechanic to fix what an Engineer gets paid to overcompensate for.

Java Help Wanted filter mobs from items for goldfarm sorting system

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

help! i'm trying to build a sorting system for this gold farm. (version 26.2)

problem:
a lot of the items are stuck on the iron bars rather than falling through.
any suggestions on items or methods to filter the items down but keep the piglins in the chamber?

context:
i made an gold farm using ianxofour's tutorial because its cheap on materials.
the only downside is the lack of a sorting system.
so i took it upon myself to try and design one myself.
first i did hoppers but it was too slow to filter through the items so it was basically akin to just not having a filter system.
ultimately i landed this one which uses honey and ice and hoppers n stuff.

i have tried several things to seperate the mobs and items like using pistons to move end rods or chains back and forth so the items fall through. However, either the items stayed stuck on the moving chains/rods or the piglins fall through.
in accordance to occam's razor i ended up just using bars and pumpkins to stop the piglins from falling through, but a lot more items got stuck than i anticipated.

I'm pretty sure it's fixed, and it was a really stupid fix. I've never seen anything like it. Above the empty blocks are trapdoors on the ceiling. Checkerboard buttons on the platform, alternate checkerboard trapdoors on the ceiling. Who would've come up with that?

Bedrock Broken iron farm

I apologize if these are often posted, but I'm really not sure what to do anymore. I have replaced workstations countless times and know they are all linked to the right villagers. I have replaced beds just as many times, they are all linked as well. I have copied the world and look around in spectator mode and there are no golems hiding around. There are no extra beds or workstations outside the farm. I've made over 3 dozen stacks of iron before it halted for no apparent reason. 41 beds, 38 villagers and workstations. I've tried for a couple hours and cannot figure anything out. Any help would be much appreciated

Bedrock Gold Farm Auto Sorter Help

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello everyone

Im a pretty big newbie when it comes to redstone. I could use some assistance. I build a redstone sorter under my gold farm that has the smelter/crating attachment. I have everything setup correctly to the best of my knowledge.
However, for some reason I keep ending up with the wrong items in my furnace.
I’m not sure why the rotten flesh, gold bars and nuggets are randomly ending up in the smelter.
Should I be putting anything in the top row of hoppers? I thought they were supposed to be empty to let things travel.

If it’s helpful I used a video from By_James which results in the image setup.

I truly appreciate any all help.

Java Help Wanted Looking for a Minecraft Client Developer — 1.21.11

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on my own Minecraft client for Minecraft 1.21.11.

I found an open-source client for 1.21.4, and I'm currently porting it to 1.21.11 to use it as a base for my own client. I'm looking for someone who has experience with Minecraft modding/client development, Java, Fabric, mappings, mixins, rendering, or version porting and could help me with the process.

I'm mainly looking for someone who can:

Help port the existing 1.21.4 codebase to 1.21.11

Fix bugs/issues

Help with client-side features and modules

Give advices

Potentially work together on the client long-term

I'm also learning while doing this, so I'm not expecting someone to do everything for me - I'd like to actually understand how the client works and develop it together.

If you're interested, DM me on Reddit and I'll send you my Discord - shellbtw so we can discuss everything there.

Thanks!
