Disposal Chest

Disposal chests are chests that will delete any item that is moved into them with a regular hopper. Since they work with hoppers, disposal chests are useful for automatically disposing overflow items in automatic farms, so that the items are not left floating on the ground.

Creating a Disposal Chest

Disposal chests are easy to make, simply rename a regular chest "Disposal" in an anvil. Place the chest, and you should see that the GUI is named "Disposal".

Using Disposal Chests

Any item that a regular hopper transfers into a disposal chest will be removed instantly upon leaving the hopper.

Overflow Disposal

With crop hoppers and disposal chests, it is easy to automatically dispose of "overflow" items that do not fit into your linked storage. Add an extra chest to your linked storage chests, at the lowest priority, specifically for overflow items. Place a hopper under it leading into a disposal chest. Once your linked storage chests fill, the items picked up by the crop hopper will go into the new chest, and then into the disposal chest.
