@Tails I see! Thanks, I'll see what I can do for a workaround, in the mean time, this ticket can be closed. |

The flaw is in the top comparators which output a stronger signal due to the doors beeing unstackable items. Those comparators activate the redstone wire which is connected to the lowest hoppers. Normaly it wouldn't matter if the redstone is connected since a stackable item is putting out a signal of 1. But an unstackable item output is that of a stack of 64 items. So the comparator is powerering almost all the redstone below which kills the system. |

@Tails Can you show me where the flaw is? I mean, putting doors in kicks out the item and sometimes the signs and things... It works fine for items that are stackable.. |

Not a bug - flawed item sorter design. |

How did you import it, I think the easiest way would be to install WorldEdit, put that schematic in your schematics folder and import it that way. |

I've never used schematic files or MCEdit before. I was able to import it into a world but very few of the hoppers seemed to be pointing in the correct directions. Is this normal? |

Added link in description. It's just a schematic because the whole world file is way too big. |

If you'd like create a test world with your design in it, then zip/rar it up and upload it to filefront or someplace like that and post a link here. Provide some steps to reproduce the issue you're having and I'll try it out and let you know what happens. |

After finally getting around to testing, it is not a bukkit issue, same thing happens in vanilla., I'm using 5 signs, a seed and the item, shouldn't really affect it as it's the same concept.... I dunno, I might just deal with it and change to 4 signs and 2 of the item. |

@Michael I haven't had time to do any testing, for all I know it was a bukkit problem... I'll test bukkit vs vanilla later today and get back to you |

@Travis Any other issues here? Can we resolve this as 'Not a Bug'? |
| Comment by Michael Turner [ 23/Mar/13 ] |
|
@Travis Yep. Doors, minecarts, boats, and other non-stackable items all went to the end as expected. |

@Michael Have you tried putting doors through the system? |

@Travis ITEMx2, SIGN, SIGN, SIGN, SIGNx2. You can download the world here: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/hopper-mine-auto-sorter/ I edited his design by adding another sorter to take out signs before anything else and it fixed the problem. Everything ended up where it should have been after that. You could just as easily use something other than signs. I think he chose to use those because they can only stack up to 16 so you don't need as many. I tend to use sticks in this configuration: ITEM, STICKx5, STICKx5, STICKx5, STICKx6. I of course have to sort out sticks before anything else. |

@Michael My hoppers are set up like this: ITEM, SEEDS, SIGN, SIGNx2, SIGNx2 how exactly does ACTennisAC have his set up? |

@Travis Eggett I downloaded ACtennisAC's copy of the world to play with and at first it worked perfectly. I did find that in his test world he used signs to fill in extra spaces in the hoppers. Throwing a few signs into the system broke it immediately and then nothing ended up in the right place. Did this by chance happen to you? |

@Michael Turner The thing is, it's not supposed to accept an item into the sorting hopper unless the item matches a stackable item. If it is not stackable it should go to the end misc chest. Instead, it somehow kicks the item I want sorted into the chest and goes into the chest as well. Doesn't work at all how I think it should |

In my opinion what you're experiencing isn't actually a bug but a side effect of the output level of non-stackable items. What you may want to consider is to presort out non-stackables from stackable items which can be done by taking advantage of the difference in output levels. |
