Easy Multi Item Sorter
by Pepsied
Easy Multi Item Sorter lets a single hopper line split mixed items into separate chests, using stackable filtering containers and item frames in place of complex redstone minecart circuits.
What it does
Each filtering container needs at least two different items placed in it. It pulls matching items from the containers above it, and when items travel down the hopper line the filtering containers take out those that match their contents. Filtered items leave through the hopper directly below an item frame, and a chest at the end of that hopper gives access to them. Hoppers can also chain to another hopper or be swapped for a chest.
Filtering containers belong where line hoppers would normally go, and a hopper must not sit underneath a filtering container, since that would disrupt the filter placement. The default speed matches a vanilla hopper at one item per 8 ticks. A trigger switches the mod to a normal mode of one item per tick, and a slower setting reduces that rate four times for weaker computers. The author recommends regular-speed hoppers on modest hardware. Easy Multi Item Sorter is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also as a data pack. The server needs the mod, and clients may install it, but it is not required for playing.
Key features
Stackable item filters
Filtering containers hold at least two item types and sort matching items out of the hopper line.
Item frame output
Filtered items leave through a hopper below an item frame, marking where each sorted stream begins.
Adjustable filter speed
The filter runs at vanilla hopper speed by default, can be raised to one item per tick, or slowed for weaker hardware.
Simple layout
The sorter needs only containers, hoppers and item frames, avoiding the clustered redstone minecart circuits of older designs.

What the author says
Building a Multi Item Sorter (or MIS) is always complex, prone to breaking, and overall, not fun to build. I couldn't find one online that met my demands. Some were too expensive, others too large or too slow... So, I decided to make this. Instead of your MIS looking clustered with redstone and minecart circuits, you…
