Easy Hopper
by DearXuan
With Easy Hopper, a hopper can be given a filter slot that lets only one item type through, and its transfer timing can be tuned from the in-game settings.
What it does
Easy Hopper adds item filtering to vanilla hoppers without introducing new blocks. The fifth slot of a hopper becomes a filter slot: only items matching the type placed there are pulled or passed on, and a non-matching item placed there is ignored while hoppers below still move valid items. Hopper transfer cooldowns can also be changed, along with the number of items moved per tick or batch, to speed up slow chains or slow down item movement.
Dropped item pickup is adjusted as well. Each search for nearby dropped items adds a cooldown, which the mod says greatly reduces lag when many hoppers are placed. Checks for dropped items are disabled for a hopper placed directly below a full solid block. Because no custom blocks are added, the mod can be removed without affecting a saved world.
Easy Hopper is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge; the latest files are 3.1+mc1.21.1 builds dated 2026-09-03. Settings can be changed in-game through a configuration screen, which needs Cloth Config API or Mod Menu.
Key features
Item filter slot
The fifth hopper slot works as a filter that passes only the item type placed in it.
Adjustable transfer speed
Hopper cooldowns and the number of items moved per tick or batch can both be changed.
Dropped item search cooldown
Each search for nearby dropped items waits for a cooldown, which cuts lag with many hoppers.

Who it’s for: Players building item sorters and farms, and server owners who want filtered hoppers without adding new blocks to their world.
