Hopper Speed Tweaks
by Prunty
Hopper Speed Tweaks sets how fast hoppers move items, using a single gamerule named hopperSpeed on servers running Fabric.
What it does
A gamerule called hopperSpeed sets the transfer speed of every hopper in the world. Higher settings move items faster and lower settings move them more slowly, with the vanilla rate as the starting point. Server owners can use it to tune farms, storage systems and item-heavy automation without changing other mechanics.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server runs it. It needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API, and the files cover 1.20 – 1.21.10 across 13 release versions, with mc1.21.9-1.21.10-1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file for 1.21.10. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Hopper speed gamerule
Transfer speed is set with the hopperSpeed gamerule, so no config file or command mod is needed.
Vanilla baseline
The default setting leaves hoppers at vanilla speed, and the value can be changed at any time.
Faster and slower values
Higher values speed up item movement and lower values slow it down, which helps balance an economy or a farm.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
1.21.x11 of 11 versions with builds

Use cases
Farm balancing
Server owners can slow hoppers down on large automated farms that otherwise produce items faster than the economy can absorb.
Storage systems
Faster hoppers can shorten the time items take to reach chests in long storage lines.
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners who want to fine-tune item movement on a multiplayer server without replacing vanilla mechanics. It is aimed at automation-heavy servers, farms and economies where hopper speed affects the balance more than most players expect.
How it compares
ConfigureHopperSpeed also changes hopper speed, but it runs on client and server, is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. Enhanced Hoppers is server-side only on Fabric for 1.21.5 and is licensed as All rights reserved. Fast Hoppers is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and also available for Forge and NeoForge.

Hopper speed affects farms, storage systems, and server balance more than most people realize. This mod lets you change hopper transfer speed using a simple gamerule, so you can speed up item movement, slow down automation, or fine-tune vanilla mechanics to fit your server.
