Given an item entityDefinition: Item entities are items in entity form. Each item entity can have a full stack of items, up to 64 items for 64-stackables. ## Item entity tick Every game tick, item entities will do the following ... stream input, this device will load them into single-type boxes at high speeds. It uses variable cart filters to ensure each box contains only a single type.

The filter is based on the first item type that comes through. When that item stops coming through, the filter will automatically de-assign and the loaderDefinition: A contraption that fills a shulkerbox with items and then breaks the shulkerbox.s will be reset, so it can assign to a new item type.

Features

• Can handle up to 576k items/hr, but is expandable to higher speeds (add more loaders).
• Uses variable cart filters to filter items to match the first item type that comes through
• Automatically de-assigns filter, and resets loaders when it can't find the filtered item anymore.

Considerations

• Can only load one item type at a time
• DirectionalDefinition: A contraption is said to be directional if it exhibits a different behavior when rotated or mirrored. This is usually caused by some internal component being directional itself, which in turn is m..., do not rotate or it will break

Notes

Especially useful for loading boxes for concrete/tree farm output.
