Game Mechanics Chest Conveyors

[MrZsc]

Hello, I have an idea. After spending tons of time digging through my chests, I thought it'd be a great idea to connect chests together via a conveyor system. This way you only have to be able to reach 1 chest in order to access every other chest connecting it. This way you can go through tons of items in multiple chests easily. This leads to another idea, conveyor belts. If there were conveyor belts or tubes it would allow for players to create factories and farms much more easily, as they won't have to manually collect the loot. Hoppers and dispensers would also be quite useful to create systems that would allow for factories that could not be built before. Thanks for reading, please consider my idea.

Cool concept, but you should probably flesh it out and tell us how these things are crafted and work specifically.

 

[MrZsc]

Perhaps just a couple iron and maybe copper bars at an anvil can craft a few of them.

5 iron 3 copper = 100 conveyor belts

10 glass 5 iron = 100 conveyor tubes

3 iron = 1 dispenser or hopper

These are not final and only possible recipes. There could also be wires in the recipes.

Also, the tubes could intersect each other with different coloured wires.

So basically a chest but with a "page 2"? support!

 

[MrZsc]

yes.

Wouldn't you think connecting many chests together would end up becoming incredibly unorganised, since you won't know which page is next, unless you specifically remember it for accessing a specific chest? I think the ability to change chest names is enough to quickly skim through your chests and access the items you want to see quickly.

I had to look up Hoppers and Dispensers as it's been ages since I last played Minecraft, but they sound like a nice idea, especially considering that we have wire. However, what if a Hopper is connected to three chests using each colour of wire/the same colour of wire? I fear this would cause a duplication bug.
