 Description   

Update by Mega_Spud:
Summary:
Comparators measuring items in a shulker box, give out an incorrect signal.
A chest, chestcart, and a shulker box have 27 slots. Comparators are supposed to emit full signal when they are full, i.e. 27 stacks of items. However, for shulker box comparators emit full signal for only 27 items, not stacks.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Place a chest and a shulker box
  2. Place a comparator and a 15 long line of redstone dust from each comparator
  3. Place 27 items in the chest, and 27 items in the shulker box

Observed Results:
The shulker box gives off a full redstone signal of 15, whereas the chest only outputs a signal strength of one.

Expected Results:
The shulker box should behave the same way as chests, and only give a full signal of 15 when all of the slots are full.

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes

Notes:


Original Description:
When using a comparator to detect the amount of items in a chest, the comparator gives off a signal strength of 15 when the chest is full, however when using a comparator to detect the amount of items in a shulker box, the comparator gives off a signal strength of 15 when there are 27 or more items in the shulker box

Seems to be fixed in 1.2.3

This is still an issue on 1.2.1 on iOS.

1.2.0 on iOS has some really weird Shulker Box comparator issues.

I've attached an image (IMG_0218.PNG) where a shulker box and a chest both contain two stacks of 64 items in them. The Chest works as expected... The shulker box... Sort of random redstone line...

The error can still be found in 1.2.0.22. It needs to be fixed soon ...

Comment by Joseph Atkin [ 23/Aug/17 ]

I can confirm that this bug is still unresolved as of 1.2.0.22

[EDIT]: I use Windows 10 edition, so it is multi-device.

This is a big feature in auto filling shulker boxes. It is currently sending the correct signal for non stackable items.

Confirmed, added screenshot showing incorrect signal strength being given compared to a chest.
