About this Mod
Hopper Gadgetry adds clever new ways to move items around—with filters, pipes, and wooden tech magic. Time to upgrade your item transport system—on a budget! No PhD required.
⛓️ Grated Hopper
- Like a hopper, but way smarter!
- Lets you filter what goes in using up to 5 slots.
- No filters? No problem—it works like a regular hopper.
- Also shows off some stylish iron bars on top—function and fashion in one.
📦 Duct
- It's a wooden pipe for your items!
- Sends items into connected containers, but won’t pull from them.
- Ignores dropped items on the ground.
- Connects in chains and works in any direction, even upwards!
👇 Chute
- A super basic hopper variant made from wood!
- Grabs items from the ground only.
- Doesn't store anything—instantly passes items down to a container.
- Direction? Just down. That’s all it knows.
🚂 Hopper Minecarts
- Grated Hopper Minecart: All the filtering power of the Grated Hopper, now on wheels.
- Chute Minecart: Rolls around transferring picked-up items directly to containers below. Great for cleanup duty!
⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER
⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)
⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)
⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)
If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.
