Simply unloads a double chestDefinition: In storage tech terminology, DC is an abbreviation for a doublechest. as fast as it can using hopper carts. No extra sorting features. Designed to be an input to a storage system where a player can simply put everything into one chest, whether items or boxes.

Features

• Fast (about 30sec to unload a chest full of mixed items)
• Waits for user to close chest before unloading, (opening the chest also pauses unloading)
• Reliable for all stupid player input cases I can think of (unlike the past 10 versions)
• Will yeet carts when chest is empty or ran out of carts
• Clean Wall UIDefinition: User interface. The part of a contraption or system that the end user interacts with, regardless of the inner workings of the system. (no redstone-type blocks around the input chest)
• Clean Floor UI (the top redstone and water streams can be neatly covered with carpet)
• Great for use in sorting systems that want a lot of entities in a pile (like cart-based MISDefinition: A type of item sorter (system) that sorts multiple item-types into a single chest or group of chests, usually used to reduce space used by single item-type sorters to group not too common items int..., Entity-based splitterDefinition: A box splitter is a contraption that takes in a mixed box as input and unloads the box into single item-type boxes. These devices work by unloading a box using a variable filter. The variable filte...s, cart-based splitters, variable stack-separation systems, cart-based input parallelizers, or 'dolphin' respawn-based parallelization)

Considerations

• no pre-sorting of unstackables or boxes included (unlike other input systems)
• no separate chest for bulk input

Notes

It can store and recycle up to 73 carts, 41 included, more carts means it can unload more of the chest before needing to yeet and recycle the carts, so 73 is a little faster because it only yeets once, but it's diminishing returns, 22 is a good number if you want less carts.

Compatibility

Works in versions 1.19+ due to cart yeetDefinition: A cart yeeter is a device which breaks a cart with an inventory, emptying its contents in item entity form. The cart item is also collected separately for recycling. Cart yeeting was introduced in ...ing Works in versions 1.16+ with the DropFullCarts mod.
