How to Make an Item Sorter in Minecraft
Farms are indeed a game-changer in Minecraft. They allow you to gather infinite resources without having to grind them out yourself. Because of that, having an advanced and large storage system is more often than not required. So, in this guide, we’ll be teaching you how to make an item sorter or item filter, one of the most useful components of storage systems, in Minecraft.
Items Required to Build an Item Sorter
Item filter size depends on the number of items you want to filter in Minecraft. If you are planning on filtering two different items, then the resources needed won’t be overly expensive. However, if you want to construct a massive system containing every bulk item in the game, then this project will be very costly and time-consuming.
We’ll be building just a single module in this guide, meaning it will be able to filter a single item.
However, the most amazing fact is that you canbuild multiple modulesside by side and they’ll still function perfectly. So, just by learning how to make one module, you can expand it to fit your needs. This particular design was introduced by a popular Minecraft YouTuberimpulseSV, so you can check him out if you haven’t already.
This item sorter works on thestackable to 64 items only. The resources you’ll need to filter one item are:

Once you’ve collected all the needed items, follow the step-by-step process explained below to make an item sorter in Minecraft.
Why Should You Build an Item Sorter in Minecraft?
Item filtering may seem like a completely unnecessary addition to Minecraft storage systems, and that’s because they are. You can bypass making the modules suggested above and having all your loot end up unsorted in one chest. However, when you wish to later take out the loot, it can get pretty repetitive and tricky, especially if there are tons of different items.
Item sorter is a rather amazing quality of life feature community has discovered. They make your life much easier and your chests much cleaner. If you prefer to manually sort items in your main storage room, that’s completely okay.
But building them as part of a massive farm is extremely recommended. Therefore, you can have all the various useful drops sorted and easily accessible to you, and all the other items you do not need get burned in fire or lava. This is a great example for when you build largemob farmsthat produce arrows which are redundant if you’re an infinity enchantment enjoyer.
All in all, constructing multiple item sorters is not a cheap project, but you won’t regret them once you see the results. So, what do you think about item sorters? Do you build them regularly? Share your thoughts with us and our readers in the comments below!
The reason 42 items get stuck in the filter hoppers is because if there were fewer items, there would need to be more of the filter items inside the hopper. So all those additional items would increase the redstone signal drastically to the point that any adjacent redstone line will also get powered. This will eventually break the sorter and items end up in all the wrong places. That’s why you should use the item sorter for the items you have a lot of, like stone, logs, etc.
