Campfire Hopper
by Thunderbot99
Campfire Hopper lets hoppers feed campfires, so a chest-to-campfire line can cook items with no furnace involved.
What it does
Hoppers can push items into a campfire from the side or from above, while a hopper placed facing a campfire from the side is ignored. Only the campfire's cooking recipes apply, so ores and other furnace recipes are left alone and cannot be smelted in it. Chests, including double chests, are accepted as sources for the hopper line.
A server-side datapack supplies the behavior, and the cooking speed of the campfire and whether smeltable items are cooked can be set through a command configuration. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a single game version, 1.21.5, and its 0.2 beta file dated 2025-06-22. Server owners need the mod; players can join without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Hopper Bucket is open source under the MIT License and runs on the client and the server across 1.21 – 26.1 on Fabric and NeoForge. Nice Campfires is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 on all four loaders.
Key features
Hopper-fed campfires

Campfire recipes only
Only the campfire's own cook recipes are used, so ores and furnace-only recipes are not smelted.
Side hoppers ignored
A hopper facing a campfire from the side has no effect; only hoppers above or below the campfire deliver items.
Adjustable cooking
A command configuration sets how fast the campfire cooks and whether smeltable items are cooked.
