Just place a item frame on the side of a hopper then place the item you want it to sort inside the item frame, the hopper will detect the item in the item frame and only let items of the same kind through that hopper, if there are multiply item frames on a single hopper only the item in the first placed item frame affects the hopper.
So as a example Any ore placed in the top chest will be will be sorted to their own chests below respectively.
Common retorts:
1. Minecraft is about inventing/build stuff to simplify problems, this stops people inventing stuff.
So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
I think it should be added in game, there was lots of mods similar, and I know LOTS of people who really liked them and wanted to try them in game, not as a mod.
The idea is okay, but as others said, a filter slot within the Hopper would reduce potential lag and the size of the Redstone contraptions, and would be easier for people to understand.
