*Disclaimer - I am using part of a design created by ImpulseSV, (his storage sorting build) This build will not work on Foxcraft as redstone delay breaks it
Shop idea to minimize searching for items vs time for delivery.
This is a Prototype and I expect to make an expansion to accommodate more items. Proof of concept and wanting to share.
Place items in top cart and hit the button. Both carts head off, The top cart will drop off items into the corresponding item sorter and that same item will drop into the lower hopper, (waiting for the hopper minecart to pick it back up). When this happens a dropper linked to that sorting cell will trigger, firing a shulker box full of the item the buyer has selected into a blue ice water stream to be collected by the lower hopper minecart.
17 items to choose from all with varying prices. The Shop will return the selected items in the top cart back into the barrel, (uses a timer to unlock hopper just long enough to return the 5 items). The buyer takes the shulkers from the bottom cart and puts payment into barrel.
The detector rail above the redstone torch is for triggering the lower minecart to return to the shop front when the top cart goes past, It will power the unpowered rail below. The only thing missing from ImpulsesSV's design is the chests for storing the items sorted.
. Since there is never more than 5 items in the top minecart, the system will not be clogged with too many items to drop off.
It may look complicated but in reality it is 17 slices of 1 build put on top of a water shoot. A minecart that loops and another minecart with a very short path.
All done with 1 button push. I like that.
2 water streams connected to traverse 17 blocks.
Small timing circuit to keep the hopper unlocked when the top cart returns. This is triggered via another detector rail, this time on the lower carts path. The circuit is on long enough to empty the 5 items then the hopper is locked again.
The lower circuit is to collect the diamond block payments so the diamonds do not sit in the barrel.
More explanations could be said but this is enough to see the concept and how it works. Speed time is no more than a few seconds to gain 5 shulkers each full of the selected item.
Hope this helps. Have fun out there.
