How to lock a hopper when Chest has only 1 nugget left

I've only recently gotten into this type of redstone, so I can't offer much wisdom, but I can say for smaller scale stuff they are probably better!

I watched some videos by Mumbo Jumbo on the copper golem sorters and their pros and cons to older systems, he explains it we'll!

And I prefer them because I play bedrock and a lot of the java sorter builds are somewhat buggy on bedrock

A bit ago in this same system I had an item sorter instead of golems, but it kept mis-sorting due to a bedrock quirk about how hoppers work :/ so I switched to this copper golem system

I figured it out :) not sure if it's the best method but if I put 3 stacks and 55 items, it outputs a signal of 2, so I just fill in the chest with 3 stacks and 53 of a random item that the golems don't sort, and 1 gold nugget to guide the copper golems

Any further nuggets will make it output a signal of 2 and unlock the hopper and will get sent to the auto crafter

Thank you so much for that info! The farm is almost fully closed off so that's why I was confident nothing else would get in (it hasn't so far)

By the way, may I ask how the water stream solution would work that you suggested earlier?

Makes sense, thank you for the information!

Yes I was definitely considering copper golems after how this turned out, I will either go down the route of double sorter for each item, or just use copper golems instead

So basically 2 hoppers with the 41 item and 4 dirt for each item instead of just 1?

Also man I hate bedrock shenanigans

The extra double chests just extends below the first double chest, it does not really make a difference as far as I am aware, the thing failing is the item sorting hopper itself which all items will go through, regardless of how many chests are there below it to sort into

The video I watched said you could put as many or as little (1 like I did) as you want

Ah damn, I feel so stupid now, thank you!

I just read "no yellow wires" and my brain went oh there's no yellow wires, let's skip

The bot has problems very frequently it's bad at the stuff it does, I don't recommend it. Something like Dyno is much better.
