Is it possible to sort non-stackable items in minecraft?
Posted On: May 23, 2023

Item Sorters are super sweet. But, I have a skeleton farm, and am getting tons of non-stackable drops. Since armor can be smelted into iron/gold, I'd like to smelt those drops in a furnace, and burn bows in a furnace. And trash all leather armor. Is there a way to sort out these non-stackable items in vanilla survival?


Question from user John at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

There is no one way for all of them, but most can be sorted using different tricks: Armour and weapons can be equipped to zombies and unequipped again, potions and water bottles can be filtered using a brewing stand, shulker boxes can be placed and broken automatically and so on.


For now, please just look up " sorter" for all of them on YouTube, I'll expand this answer later once I've figured it out for all items myself.
