Item Filters

Say goodbye to laggy, bulky redstone sorters! Items Filters provide a clean, efficient way to automatically sort items in your storage system with minimal setup. No redstone logic needed.

How to Craft an Items Filter

You'll need:

• 6x Cobbled Deepslate

• 1x Hopper

• 1x Observer

• 1x Dropper

How to Use Items Filters

Items Filters transfer specific items from a container above to a container below, based on what’s stored in a reference container beside them.

Setup Steps:

1

Place the Filter Block

The face pointing toward you shows a small grey button. This toggles filter modes.

2

Attach a Reference Container

Attach a container (chest, barrel, etc.) to the observer face on the back.

📝 Fill it with the items you want the filter to pass through.

3

Add an Input Container

Place a container (chest, hopper, or shulker) directly above the filter block.

This is where your unsorted items will enter.

4

Choose an Output Target

You can place either:

• A container below to collect filtered items

• Or a fluid block (air, water, or lava) to let items drop out directly

✅ Only matching items will pass through the filter!

We highly recommend watching the tutorial video to better understand how this works.

Troubleshooting: If items aren’t filtering correctly, check the following:

• Ensure the filter is in the correct mode (Lax vs. Strict)

• Verify the reference container has the correct items inside

• Confirm input/output containers are placed correctly

Filter Modes

Lax Mode (Default)

• Button Color: Grey

• Filters By: Item ID only

• Example: Any Diamond Sword passes, regardless of enchantments or damage.

Strict Mode

• Button Color: Yellow

• Filters By: Item ID + all tags/components (NBT)

• Example: Only identical Diamond Swords (same enchantments, durability, etc.) pass.

Toggle Mode: Right-click the grey button on the side of the filter block.
