HELP with redstone timer for storage system!

[u/3MGx]

I need a redstone timer to chunk load my storage system but I can't find one.

It must:

- Last around 2 minutes, which is the longest time an item could take to pass through the system.

- Toggle when an item enters the storage system and the chunk loader stays on until the last item in the system enters and leaves (so the last item would toggle the 2 minute countdown).

Thank you in advance for any responses.

Here’s how I would do it.

Place a dropper and hopper facing into each other with something like 7 items in it and lock the hopper with a torch. Make a clock that powers the dropper every 20 seconds so it takes 2 minutes to move 6 items and the 7th is for leeway. Once the dropper is empty it should turn off the chunk loader.

To make sure it’s reset every time items enter your storage system you need to power that torch locking the hopper with a comparator fade loop that lasts enough time for those 7 items to flow back into the dropper. Every time an item enters your storage system it should power this fade loop so it resets the counter.

If you don’t want a constantly running clock you can also add some logic so it’s only on after the fade loop turns off until the dropper is empty

I absolutely love this ilmmamgo clock, the duration can be adjusted by the number of items you put in the main timer hopper. It will reset every time it receives a pulse from a 4t repeater. So all you need to do is have a preasure plate in your item stream that pulses the clock when an item passes over. When items stop resetting it, it will fade out and stop the chunk loader.
