Introduction

Penus lose items in the leftmost slot first).

Components

There are two components to an item sorter: the item channel and the sorting component(s). Here is an analogy to clarify this: the item channel is like a river, and the sorting components can be imagined as nets that only catch certain items. The river ends in a dump (the junk chest).

The item channel is simply a path that items travel through. It can be a horizontal chain of hoppers, or a water channel. Hoppers underneath the hopper chain or water channel act as the "net" and will extract items.

The sorting components are composed of hoppers. To enable deposition and extraction to be independently toggled, two hoppers must be used: one on top of the other, and the top one pointing sideways. The top hopper should be connected to the comparator, which will power the bottom hopper (which takes items out of the top hopper)
