Endgame hoppers designed to feel powerful yet vanilla
About this Mod
Ninja Hoppers
Adds an advanced late game filterable hopper designed for sorting/storage systems to Minecraft. Based heavily on Golden Hoppers. More hoppers to come soon.
Ninja Hoppers requires the Fabric modloader and Fabric API.
Installation
- Install Fabric API if it is not installed.
- Download Netherite Hoppers from GitHub.
- Place the downloaded file in your
modsfolder.
Warning
This is currently incompatible with Hopper Optimizations. I will endeavour to rectify as soon as possible. If you wish to use this mod, you will need to disable hopperOptimizations in the mean time.
Netherite Hopper
In this initial release of Ninja Hoppers, Netherite hoppers are the only thing added.
Crafting
When this mod is installed, a new crafting recipe becomes available:

The recipe is intentionally expensive. It partly mirrors the cost of a normal redstone sorter and also makes it expensive enough that its a considered option and not over powered.
Usage
The Netherite Hopper has 9 filter slots at the top and one inventory slot below this:

When the filter slots are empty, Netherite Hoppers behave like a normal hopper (with a limited inventory).
Once any slot has an item then the hopper will ONLY accept items into its inventory that match one of the filter items.
Sorting/Storage Systems
Netherite Hoppers are primarily designed for storage systems. The 9 filter slots allow you to have "grouped" storage, for instance, 9 different colours of will within one chest or maybe every block type of a certain wood. The netherite hopper replaces all of the redstone associated with storage systems. All you need to do is have a way of flowing items over the top of it (I personally use Wooden Hoppers) and then some form of storage below the Netherite Hopper:
