Currently, comparators only read stack sizes, and hoppers filter by item type, but there is no vanilla way to detect items by custom names (NBT) without command blocks. This limits complex survival builds like custom shops.
I propose the "Item Inspector" block!
How it works:
It acts as a conditional comparator. Right-clicking opens a GUI with:
1. Template Slot: Place an item to set the rule. It reads the item ID and custom name (e.g., a diamond named "Magic Gem").
2. Amount Input: Set the required quantity.
When a matching item is fed into the block, it outputs a redstone signal.
Survival Crafting Recipe:
Top: Quartz | Comparator | Quartz
Mid: Iron | Name Tag | Iron
Bot: Redstone | Hopper | Redstone
Use Cases:
- Custom Shops: Accept only specific named items (e.g., "VIP Tickets").
- Advanced Sorting: Sort by custom names or specific enchanted items.
- Adventure Maps: Build complex puzzle mechanics using pure survival redstone.
It perfectly bridges the gap between basic redstone and command blocks, adding a highly requested feature for technical players!
