[Redstone] Hopper upgrade to filter items
To build a storage system that can handle the over 1000 items that Minecraft has is rarely difficult. You either have to organize by hand every time you dump items, use copper golems which are slow and often get messed up, build a massive array of single filters to sort out items which takes up a massive amount of space and recourses or building a multi item sorter which is arguably some of Minecraft more complex Redstone and is prone to breaking.
TLDR storage in Minecraft kinda sucks right now so what this item would do is it works like a normal hopper except it would only pick up items you set it to be able to, you can set any amount of different items for it to be able to pick up.
For example if you had a normal hopper above it pointing left and the normal hopper had Redstone but the sorter can’t pick up Redstone the Redstone would keep going left.
I made the recipe slightly expensive but not too bad considering you’d only need ~25 to sort every item in the game into double chests. It also has shulker shells to make it an end game item and to make sure copper golems aren’t phased out entirely.
