Item filters will be in the NEXT episode, so please sit tight a little longer if you're waiting for them! The full explanation of item sorters and overflow protection I want to give requires some understanding of how comparators work, so I decided to bump them to next episode (Lesson 6: The Comparator).
When the video started and he said you should start at episode zero, i was like. "i probably know all this, i have been playing for years" then he showed the gravel rail hopper cart method to speed up rail collection systems that i had never seen....well guess i am off to watch from the first video and subscribed.
This series has been invaluable for buffing up my redstone skills while also being an accessible resource for friends looking to learn more about the subject, thank you!
Pretty sure the last update changed java so that full blocks completely stop hoppers from looking above them. I believe a full block is now preferred over a composter.
They did! TL;DR: from the testing I've seen, composters are still the most efficient. I appreciate the fact check though! 1.21 improved hopper performance across the board, to the point where even hoppers with air or partial blocks in 1.21 now outperform hoppers with composters in earlier versions. It's just that hoppers with composters are also even more efficient than they used to be, so they're still the fastest option.

One part of hoppers I was hoping to see a section on was how to make them sort items. Maybe there are other needed Redstone elements and sorting in more of a whole build but I know hoppers play a part and was looking forward to your style of explanation on how that works. Thanks for the great series. Keep it up.
That's going to be in the very next episode, so please sit tight just a little longer! I debated pretty heavily about if I should include item sorters in this one, and decided that to do the full explanation of item sorters that I plan to, it requires more understanding of how comparators work, so I moved it to the comparators episode (#6).
Ah, I wasn't aware of that! I've been building Etho clocks with sticky pistons for so long, it didn't even occur to me to check that part, whereas I normally check for Bedrock differences. Good catch! I'm most likely going to publish an updated version of this video after 1.22 releases, since the minecart collection system part will need to change, and I've added Bedrock not needing sticky pistons for Etho clocks to the list of things I want to change in the updated version. Thanks for letting me know!
Hmm... I think I might be able to squeeze that into the upcoming comparator video. For anyone who needs to know how to do it right this very second, you just build two Etho hopper clocks next to each other, 1 block apart (I recommend the 1-wide vertical version for this case), and have a comparator read from one of Clock A's hoppers and output to one of Clock B's hoppers. At that point, every item in Clock B's hoppers represents 1 full cycle of Clock A. So to find the length of Clock B's cycle, just take the length of Clock A's cycle and multiply it by the number of items in Clock B. That is, if Clock A has 76 items (an approximate 1 minute clock) and Clock B has 5 items, then Clock B will cycle every 5 minutes, because Clock A needs to cycle 5 times (1 minute each) in order for all 5 items in Clock B to move to the other hopper and trigger the redstone block to move. Just keep in mind that that calculation is simplified, and becomes inaccurate if Clock B has more items than Clock A.
3:41 Isnʼt that not the best option since 1.20.5? They should be even faster with a full block above them (except bee nests and beehives), since then it wonʼt check the air *or* the inventory. Before 1.20.5 yeah a composter was best. 6:03 A hopper pulls 2.5 *stacks* per second from the world and Iʼm pretty sure the hopper minecart also works in *stacks*. They pull items from inventories but stacks from the world.
Great question. Based on the testing I've seen, composters are still better. Yes, full blocks are now faster than composters were in pre-1.21, but composters in 1.21 are also faster than they were before, and still beat out full blocks (but not by nearly as much as before, to be fair). www.reddit.com/r/technicalminecraft/comments/1e5fz1o/solid_blocks_on_top_of_hoppers_are_still_worse/ And you're right, hopper carts don't collect one at a time from the world, and actually, neither do hoppers! If you drop a whole stack of blocks on top of a hopper, it will get collected instantly (assuming the hopper's collection cooldown is ready). I should have used a chest over the hopper cart to show the pull rate; throwing the items in manually for my demonstration was a misstep that could lead to confusion. I'll fix that if/when I publish an updated version of this video after the minecart update is finalized (presumably in 1.22), since I'll need to show an updated collection system that doesn't result in lightspeed hopper carts. 😂
besties posting a new lesson!! 5:05 the transition absolutely flabberghasted me bro, so fun! everything in this is so new to me and you got me shocked so many times for no reason lmao! and i absolutely believe that it was your first attempt at parkour, and what a master you are! im trying to follow along! but keep being awesome bestie!! these videos are SOOOOO good!!!!!!!

You’re doing great work bro keep going keep getting better
Peak is baack!!
Ergo mentioned 8:03 🥰
Note: on bedrock you can use regular pistons for the hopper clock since they have the same update speed as sticky pistons.

I’d like you to cover connecting multiple Etho Clocks for longer timers for things like Amethyst farm etc.
Hmm... I think I might be able to squeeze that into the upcoming comparator video.

Just keep in mind that that calculation is simplified, and becomes inaccurate if Clock B has more items than Clock A.
That's what a copper bulb binary counter is for
True! I can't wait to get to copper bulbs; they are just fantastic. If not for the Crafter, they would be my favorite addition in recent memory.
@MistRazor Yes! The bulbs literally store their state... It's like a flip flop circuit in one single block.
@@pilotaveryYes, 1-block T Flip but the issue with Copper Bulbs with observers is out of sync issues.
I hope we make it to episode 200 and all become redstone masters!
Definitely!
This channel isn't getting the attention it deserves
yuppie new guide
Yep! Next time we'll talk about comparators (and item filters), which will open a lot of possible topics. I can't wait!

etho hopper clock :)
