Abstract
This mod adds more hoppers for item transportation:
- Inverted hoppers and lateral hoppers, which are able to carry items from other sides besides the top side.
- Accelerated hoppers, which work more frequently than vanilla hoppers.
Crash with Radium
To prevent crashing with Radium mod installed, disable Lithium's Hopper optimizations by adding the following line to the instance's minecraft/config/lithium.properties file:
mixin.block.hopper=false
Or you can use Canary instead.
