This design has minimal waterlogged blocks and cursed rail placements

Make sure to RENAME the blocker items (e.g. the iron nuggets except the actual filter item)
It is recommended to temporarily fill all the whitelister chest filter slots with blocker items (renamed iron nuggets). Once you acquire the actual filter items, to replace the placeholders. For a visual guide, refer to the demonstration at this timestamp
