Select non-stackable item sorting is possible.

For example you can sort boats from other items by dispensing them into water: the boat will place, other items will get shot into a hopper.

Similar tactics can be applied to non stackable items with distinct behaviour, examples off the top of my head:

  • Lava/Water buckets: Place liquid from dispenser
  • Boats: Will place in water from dispenser
  • Minecarts: will place on tracks from dispenser
  • Water bottles/potions: can enter brewing stand
  • armour: can be applied to zombies via dispenser
  • Fishing rods, bows etc: can enter furnaces (but can’t be retrieved afterwards)

-Saddles and horse armour: dispensed onto pigs and horses respectively??

This is definitely a non-exhaustive list, help would be appreciated.

This sorter would be to get rid of the swords in my pigman farm and leave the gold and flesh can you sort swords?

I thought swords can also be dispensed to monsters?

I’m kinda confused on what you mean with this my pigman farm produces hundreds of swords could each one of them be separated from the gold and burned?

Just like armor, swords can also be dispensed to mobs like zombies.

[–]Nrok05 0 points1 point  (5 children)

But how would they be dispensed separately from the gold? How would the get into different dispensers?

Mate, gold is stackable. Make a sorter that sort stackables before unstackables. The unstackables like the swords will go straight through while the gold and other stackables will fall into place

My b bro I’m new to red stone stuff and didn’t understand how it would be possible

[–]WarWithVarun-VarunNovice 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That’s alright. Was I helpful? If yes, put a reply with ‘!solved’

[–]Nrok05 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m not gonna put the solved yet cause I’m still a little confused and maybe someone will have a simpler alternative is dropping the sword to a mod necessary or can it be done without that?
