The tutorial for my Allay Accelerated MIS/Category + Bulk Storage System is finally here!

Apologies for the scuffed audio my computer was falling apart trying to render the video, let me know if it's too distracting and I can try to rerelease a version with (hopefully) improved audio.

The video takes you stepbystep through each component in a mostly survival friendly way, but due to how many components there are, it moves very fast and skips through most of the repetitive steps (duplicate MIS + BULK slices)!

This system is for Java Vanilla Minecraft (and was designed for 1.19/1.21+, but may work for older versions)
List of items sorted by the system (an approximation, there may be some errors here): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... there's room to add about 2,000 more items when the need arises!

IF YOU HAVE ROTATED YOUR SYSTEM COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL SCHEMATIC, REFER TO THIS GUIDE: https://imgur.com/a/TpS3SAu

If you used the v8 version of the 2.1 schematic and the system isn't dispensing carts, make sure the piston that extends the block above the minecart dispenser is extended (will require you to move the water bottle from one dropper to the other): https://imgur.com/a/vfJHrFd

NOTE: If you're on a server that uses Paper, you'll need to have the following settings to get the item batching and merging to work:
spigot.yml and set mergeradius: item: 0.5 and entityactivationrange: misc: 0
Enormous thanks to @goldace2837 for the solution with this!

MAJOR FIX NEEDED: at 00:54:18, the primary ice path on the RIGHT side needs to be shifted towards the front by 1 block so that it's directly on top of the walls, like in this picture: https://imgur.com/v96Gn7g apologies for this error, the world save has been updated, but the schematics are/were correct here, and not the tutorial!

When you put shulker boxes into the system, they go to the far left chests before filling your bulk storage slices. MAKE SURE YOUR BULK STORAGE SLICES ALWAYS HAVE SHULKER BOXES! If you're worried about bulk slices running out of boxes, here are a few options for rerouting them: https://imgur.com/a/AEYELva (if you're worried about each bulk storage slice taking too many shulker boxes before filling, you can replace the barrels, which cuts the shulker box requirement down by 22 for each slice!)

Important callout: my lastminute solution to the blocker item failsafe lock isn't fully complete! at 1:37:57, add REDSTONE* (not an iron block! all world saves and schematics have been updated to reflect this change) at the end of the repeater (see this image for reference: https://imgur.com/NLjK2oy)

A big thanks to all the folks whose designs made this mess of a build possible! ‪@MaizumaGames‬, ‪@rooftopjoe6729‬ , ‪@Dutfer‬ , ‪@samosthesage3719‬ , and ‪@ilmango‬ especially!

There are a handful of improvements and extensions I wasn't able to get into (overflow, for one, and a few of the AA 2.1 upgrades), give me a shout if you'd like to see any of that!
