Empty = 0. Otherwise: 1 + floor(14 × average slot fullness). Mixed-size groups assume items within each group can stack together; items with different types or components may need more slots.

Item thresholds

Minimum count for each signal using only 64-stack items in 5 slots.

About Minecraft Comparator Signal Calculator

Calculate Minecraft comparator signals from container fullness or redstone inputs. Find exact item thresholds and test compare and subtract modes.

Frequently asked questions

How is container signal strength calculated?
An empty container outputs zero. Otherwise, Java uses one plus the floor of fourteen times average slot fullness. Items count relative to their maximum stack size, so unstackable items fill a slot with one item.
