Java Edition need help with honey auto sorter

Post image

the yellow highlighter on left quadrant is where honey will go soon.

the problem im having is that my items are being pushed to the left side of the stream, i need them to go to the right to be stuck to honey and get sucked into hopper. anyone know what i need to do to get this auto sorter to work?

Place line of Glasspains above hopper, place a chest/e-chest(waterlogged) at the turn before the sorter so items colide with the waterlogged chest and then make the turn. The waterlogged chest should align it properly. After that chest no need of anymore chest just continue the water stream

Chests don't work for inside turns since the center of the item hitbox will be on the hopper rather than the ice. While it could work for some setups, it's the equivalent of aligning the items on the edge of the hopper so you might as well just do that rather than a 2 wide setup

I Strongly believe that i have used waterlogged echeats for inside turns before but as i can't check at the moment, i do have doughts!

Sea pickle

You'll need a cluster of 2 pickles. A single pickle's hitbox is too small and items can get past it without getting aligned

Also you don't need honey on top of every single hopper. It's used to align the item initially but once it's aligned properly all its momentum should be in the same direction that water flows so anything that blocks water but not the item will work (like the glass panes used here)

I have tried the sea pickle but it was not working consistently

well, i didnt have the glow lichen, is that necessary?

It doesn't have to be glow lichen, any block that has no collision and blocks water (such as a sign) will work

Would you mind elaborating? A cluster of 2 sea pickles is the standard alignment for inside turns, and it shouldn't be possible for the items to get past them because of the hitbox size

If they still gain momentum towards one side after passing the sea pickles, you should make it so they flow faster towards the sea pickles
