Minecraft Java Edition – Building a 1 Deep, Tile-able ‘Chest Has Items’ Indicator System

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-redstone

In a Mumbo Jumbo video (

) he shows a very nice "chest has items" indicator system that's tile-able, and extends 2 blocks below the chest. Here's a screen shot of the specific design I'm interested in "improving."

In my build, I really need it to only extend 1 block beneath the chest. That is, the redstone can't be two levels beneath the chest, it can only be one. I do have a design that is non-tileable:

The issue is the spot of redstone dust on the side. That's not going to tile.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I came up with two fairly compact designs, one using a dropper with an item and a hopper to provide the vertical transport, the other using QC to change state of an empty dropper, and an observer&piston T flip-flop.

If you don't mind the indicator showing chest empty, as opposed to not-empty, this is a slightly compacted version of the first design: enter image description here
