A magical storage system that grants you all your wishes concerning items. Provided that you put them in beforehand. At least you can do that automatically as well!
Please leave your feedback and I hope you enjoyed :)

Additional info that I thought wasn't interesting enough to add in the video:

- It's not symmetrical so that there are no pistons extended in the opposite direction in the same chunk as the "piston bolt". Cause that can mess it up.

- Yeah, you have to sign the book with something so I just chose the letter "a". All items are just written in lower case.

- This thing actually causes practically no lag unless you can look at it. So if this was underground and you wouldn't see it, your fps would be almost the same as if it wasn't there. This is thanks to a relatively recent change in rendering behaviour, the game only renders stuff you can potentially see. I gave each item 6 double chests but I doubt that even 20 would be a big problem. Unless you look at them. Then you might crash :)

- This was actually probably the biggest project I ever did. I did put in all the books and set up all the item sorters. I can watch the thing work for hours but for the video I decided to only use two demonstrations to not make it too long and boring. Seeing it working once or twice is enough, right? Would like feedback on that. I assure you, it's absolutely reliable, even though I know nobody on this planet would actually build it :P

- This only works in singleplayer. Well, it works on multiplayer but only one single person can use it. This is because when you sign a book, another signed book will only stack if it has the same content *and* is written by the same author.

Random anecdote nobody wants to know about:

I first wanted to make a storage system where you type in what you want with a keyboard built in minecraft, something like the one I made for my wireless keyboard thing. The plan was to make everything happen pretty much instantly, you type and get the items within 0.3 seconds or so. That idea just turned out to be too ridiculous, storing 400 26-different-character combinations using almost only instant-wire, instant keyboard, instant display etc... in the end, typing the item in a book which is way faster than using an MC keyboard seemed like the better idea. At that point I had already spent a few weeks working on the initial idea.
