New Feature for chests

Hey,

my suggestion is simple. If it would be possible to add an option to a chest which allows you to select an item. after an item is selected the chest can just be filled with this item.

This would allow people to build sorting machines that don't break and without any complicated redstone.

I tried some sorting systems and they are fragile and break down easily.

see you

I Really Like the Idea, But I personally would love this to be a brand new item similar to hoppers so filtering can be used for more than just chests.


I can see different types of filtration hoppers.

Powered Filtration Hopper:

Gold Ingot | Nothing | Gold Ingot
Gold Ingot | Hopper | Gold Ingot
Redstone | Gold Ingot | Redstone

Powered Filteration Hoppers only allow items to be filtered when the Hopper is not Powered. If the Hopper is powered then no items will move into it. This would be great for when chests become full or ect. so the hoppers would know not to go into that hopper and move along to be put into an overflow chest.


Filteration Hopper:

Fruit Log | Nothing | Fruit Log
Fruit Log | Hopper | Fruit Log
Nothing | Fruit Log | Nothing

Basic Filteration Hopper, Allows up to 2 Items to be filtered & Doesnt Ignore Damage Values


Stone Filteration Hopper:

Carved Stone | Iron Chest | Carved Stone
Carved Stone | Filteration Hopper | Carved Stone
Nothing | Carved Stone | Nothing

Allows up to 8 Items to be filtered & Can Ignore Damage Values


Diamond (or another gem) Filteration Hopper:

Diamond | Diamond Chest | Diamond
Diamond | Stone Filteration Hopper | Diamond
Nothing | Diamond | Nothing

Allows up to 30 Items to be filtered & Can Ignore Damage Values.



As you can see, i like the idea and i've been trying to find something out on what the fruit logs could be used for and I feel this could be a great thing for that. Im sure Pig, Marc, Nick, and Nide will see this but I will also bring it up to them next time i see them :)
