Gloppers!
by notnite
Gloppers! is a server-side hopper mod that lets filter hoppers be renamed with glob patterns, so one hopper can sort several item IDs at once.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, a hopper is renamed with an anvil, and a name starting with an exclamation mark turns it into a glob filter. Patterns are written as IDs and separated by commas, and items that match any pattern are moved along. The mod was inspired by LiveOverflow's storage system, which was built on a server where the same filtering was implemented quietly, and it aims to make such systems easier to build.
Gloppers! works as a server-side only mod, so clients need nothing unless they are playing in single-player. Its files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with 1.0.3 for 1.21 as the latest release, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21, including 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.
Key features
Glob pattern renaming
A hopper renamed with an exclamation mark and glob patterns filters the items it accepts by their IDs.
Matching by ID
Patterns match internal identifiers, so the namespace minecraft part can be left out and items are named by their ID rather than display name.
Compact one-tile design
The filter needs only a single block of space, replacing the usual redstone circuits and taking far less room than common 4x3x1 layouts.
Unstackable item filter
A pattern can also be used to filter unstackable items such as tools and armor, allowing them to be sorted separately.
