+The Distributor works as filter and pusher. It allows to divide and distribute incoming items into the 4 output ports. The channels can be switched on/off and individually configured with up to 6 item types. The filter passes the configured items and restrains all others. Unconfigured but activated filters are used for items, which do not fit to all other filters. If the Distributor can’t push an item into a block with an inventory (such as a chest) because that inventory is full, but there is one open and unconfigured output, it will use this output port.=

If the player leaves the game, all areas will be unloaded.@nThe maximum number of Forceload Blocks per player is configurable (default 16).@nThe loaded area per block is a cube with 16 m side length (according to a Minetest area block).
