Indexer Mod

Description

Indexer is a mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that helps you organize and manage your items. This automation system allows you to filter and automatically distribute the contents of your Chests/Containers, eliminating the need to manually sort your resources.

With Indexer, you can deposit all your items in a central point and the system will take care of distributing them to the appropriate containers according to the filters you have configured, saving you time and keeping your base perfectly organized!

Main Components

Indexer Controller

The brain of the entire system. Place this block at the center of your storage network and connect it to a DropBox (special container) where you'll deposit the items you want to sort. The Controller can detect connectors up to 250 blocks away, allowing you to create massive and complex storage systems.

Indexer Pipe

These blocks connect the Indexer Controller with the Indexer Connectors, forming the distribution network. They are easy to craft and yield 10 units per recipe, allowing you to create extensive distribution systems with few resources.

Indexer Connector

Place these blocks next to your chests, barrels, furnaces, or other containers. Each Connector can be configured with a specific filter to determine which items it will accept. Items that match the filter will be automatically sent from the Controller to the connected container.

DropBox

A special container with 54 slots (double that of a normal chest) where you can deposit all the items you want to sort. The Indexer Controller will extract the items from here and distribute them according to the configured filters.

Speed Upgrades

The mod includes two levels of speed upgrades:

• Basic Upgrade: Allows the Controller to transfer up to 4 items at a time per cycle. Crafted with gold ingots in the corners, redstone dust in the remaining slots, and an Indexer Controller in the center.
• Advanced Upgrade: Allows transferring up to 16 items at a time per cycle. Crafted by surrounding a Basic Upgrade with diamonds.

Special Features

Furnace Compatibility

The system automatically detects furnaces and can refill fuel (coal or charcoal) without additional configuration.

Wide Range

The Controller can detect and manage connectors up to 250 blocks away, allowing you to create storage systems that span your entire base.

No Limits

There is no restriction on the number of connectors you can use in your system, allowing you to expand it as much as you need.

Intuitive Interface

Easily configure your connector filters with a simple and straightforward interface. Just place the item you want to filter in the available slot.
