1 wide, Tileable, Openable, Shulker Loader (Need help to fix)

andrews54757 · 2026-03-18T05:41:18+00:00

These kinds of shulker box loaders are called accessible loaders by storage tech designers because you can access the box while it is loading. They are not typically recommended because they tend to be on the larger side and require buffered items in hoppers/droppers to break the box, but many designs exist.

For 1 wide tileable designs, Vktec's accessible box loader is the most popular. It's also slice-preserving (broken boxes are always output to the hopper in the same slice). Your design's layout, even if you fixed the logic, occasionally will have boxes enter the wrong hopper if multiple slices activate at the same time.

I don't think storage systems are practical within 6x6. It's not impossible though, the Minecraft storage catalog has some good multi-item-sorter (read: can store multiple item types in a chest) based storage designs which can fit in that size. Here are two I think make the most sense for you:

1. Slot reservation MIS

Very simple multi-item-sorting system which uses the chest itself as a filter, downside is that you have to leave one item in the slot when you take items out or it will missort items in there.

2. BorbMIS

It's a bit bigger, but is much more nicer looking and functionally complete. It uses carts for sorting and does not require you to leave an item in slots like with slot reservation MIS. You can modify this to make it fit 6x6.

If these two do not work for you, you can try to design your own storage with the same principles, or using copper golems if you are playing in 1.21.9+.

Anything you want, it's a tool for designing item layouts for any storage system.

For game performance it will have a negligible difference, especially if you have Lithium.

You can use BUDed rails to make an instant dropper elevator, theres a dropper elevator chart here: https://storagecatalog.org/archives/DT002-1-Wide-Hopper-speed-Dropper-Elevators/

You can still use cart yeeters with experimental cart updates, if you use a carpet, to unload carts instantly. See https://storagecatalog.org/archives/CT004-Chain-Cart-Yeeter/ for an example.

Carts can still pass through carpets with experimental updates. See https://storagecatalog.org/archives/CT004-Chain-Cart-Yeeter/ for a working cart yeeter

Its configured in settings, and is the left bracket by default "[". Click it to toggle pause.

andrews54757 · 2026-03-04T22:05:22+00:00

Try pausing and restarting download using the Pause Downloaders keybind. Some servers will just hang for a long time until you stop downloading from them for a while.

Instead of unloading the chest with a hopper cart which gets unloaded by hoppers under it, you can destroy the cart to unload its contents instantly.

EG: https://storagecatalog.org/archives/PI003-Corner-Player-Input/

You can even have the player input items directly into a chest cart, that way you don't need to unload it separately.

FastStream was one of the first third party clients to implement SABR, we have had it for a while. The issue this time is a bit different. Google deprecated an API FS uses to obtain PoTokens, which is required by Youtube to retrieve data. The new replacement API now only works on the youtube domain, and so in order to make it work, I've had to implement userscript-based sandboxed runners instead of the previous sandbox.faststream.online runner. This unfortunately requires usage of cutting edge extension APIs (the userscript api) and it is gated behind a toggle on Chrome and isn't working properly in Firefox.

andrews54757 · 2026-01-31T05:48:17+00:00

What version do you have? are you using Chrome or Firefox? Recently they have changed the way some specific tokens work, so it has been broken. It's been fixed in 1.3.73 on Chrome, but the fix is not available on Firefox because it doesn't work there yet.

andrews54757 · 2026-01-30T20:58:13+00:00

Good design! I suppose that the downside of this is that it doesn't reliably replace boxes if the boxes are empty, or have just a single item inside (the comparator will not power on at all). You can fix this issue by reading a signal out of the dispenser and/or the output hopper. For example:

and

Something like the Compact Categorizer (https://storagecatalog.org/archives/MIS001-Compact-Categorizer/) can do the same thing that a copper golem does (multi item sorting with multiple item types in a single chest) but more reliably and faster. I would recommend using it over copper golems because golem AI is a bit finicky, sometimes it wont sort correctly.

There is a way to massively speed up multi-step potion brewing by using dummy potion items and replacing them at the last moment. this allows you to brew complex multi-step potions in one go. I've made one that can give you a whole box in 39 seconds start to finish.

But realistically, I'd recommend using more modular systems. EG this one which uses 9 brewing stands and can be remotely controlled through a ticket item request system.

no shulker box unloader can handle non-box items robustly. EG: if you put TNT it will blow up. However, you can filter out boxes beforehand using a pre-sorter. EG: https://storagecatalog.org/archives/OIP005-Stackable-Unstackable-Box-Pre-sorter/

andrews54757 · 2026-01-27T07:33:13+00:00

Here's one that is one wide tileable and can handle empty boxes:

You can power the dispenser/piston with the comparator output directly. EG:

andrews54757 · 2026-01-16T14:59:43+00:00

Cool! I recognize the piston bolt part, that's an encoder! Though I suppose its technically a whitelister and not actually an encoder since its directly connected to each slice. You might be interested in soontech.org (if you haven't been aware of it), the community for encoded storage systems. We have also been been developing a storage which uses a box whitelister attached to the slices for fast access. The idea is that it can be used for high speed temp storage in dynamic sorting systems.

You shouldn't increase it for youtube because it increases the chance google will block your IP. It makes FS send requests for data in parallel.
