[Redstone] Shulker Box Storage Systems

Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by Silken_thread, May 6, 2019.

  1. Hi, I after trying a couple of different redstone Shulker Box Storage System designs, 1 from MumboJumbo and 1 from ilmango, with both not breaking the shulker when they are full.

    I was wondering if and how redstone components are nerfed on EMC, also does anyone have a working Shulker Box Storage System, if so and you post a link to its design.

    Many thanks

  2. I was working on one on emc but since sulkers don't break it's somewhat manual!

  3. I was watching Hermitcraft videos and they have a redstone system that breaks them, but it does not work on EMC. It could be how the server is built, such as spigot etc, I don't know all the tech behind it but I have tried a few different machines and not everything works.

    I built a large complicated redstone tree farm that was an epic fail, using about 100 observers and it worked 90% but that last 10% was the kicker. I took it down and build a MumboJumbo Oak tree farm pistons and repeaters with a few adaptations which allow birch and Acacia to be farmed. That works find for the Oak and Birch and mostly for the acacia but I have to chop out the odd log here and there, still worth it though.

    So yeah not everything works in the way I would like but there is always a work around, as for the Shulkers I just place a bunch onto hoppers and break them manually as you said as the fill up.
  4. Or maybe tnt
  5. Shulker boxes will only break by piston, if a dispenser places the shulker box

  6. The reason why is doesn't work is simple: the way to break shulker boxes is by pushing them with a piston, they *should* automatically pop into an item. Unfortunately, EMC for some reason made shulker boxes immovable, so now we cannot make these incredibly handy devices. Sucks big time.

    EDIT: whoops lol, thanks lucky! You need to place the boxes from dispensers, then it does work. :D Why the specific machines you mentioned don't work, no clue. I could perhaps look into it some time next week, if I remember. :)

  7. illmango's machine did place the shulker and break them but not full shulkers, and as soon as it placed the next shulker it was also broken. So half the shulkers had between zero and 2 or 3 items in them.

    I find that observers give 2 pulses of power which is most likely the cause of this.
  8. Silk, most redstone machines have to be slightly modified for use on the Empire due to redstone mechanic changes from vanilla. If I'm not mistaken the main change is the rate at which hoppers transfer and pull in items.

    As a side note, EMC runs Paper not Spigot. Aikar maintains Paper as a much better alternative of Spigot.

  9. your observers are giving two pulses because the source they are being triggered by updates twice. if you can put a circuit in to cancel out one of the two pulses this won't be an issue.

    EDIT: i built a circuit that does this if you need help, but i have faith you can engineer it yourself :)
