HexHopper

by TAPM

HexHopper changes how hoppers in vanilla Minecraft choose their push and pull directions, letting players set both from a compass after placement.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source26.2 – 26.3

What it does

A hopper placed with HexHopper can take items from any of six faces and send them out through any of six faces. The placement face sets the spout, and the pull side is set automatically toward the closest valid funnel opening in the direction the player is looking. Vanilla hoppers only pull from above and push downward or sideways, and the mod removes that restriction.

Direction is adjusted with a compass without breaking the hopper. Holding the compass and right-clicking a hopper cycles the pull direction through five valid options, while left-clicking cycles the push direction through five. An action bar message shows the current direction after each click. Hoppers that were placed before HexHopper was installed keep the vanilla pull direction from above, and Minecart Hoppers fall back to that same vanilla behavior.

HexHopper is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, in two game versions, 26.2 and 26.3, with snapshot builds also available. The client and server both need it, so the server and every player must install it. It modifies the vanilla hopper block and its block entity with Mixins and leaves other hopper logic, storage mods and visual mods untouched. The mod is listed as compatible with others, and the mod's public source and issue tracker are available.

Key features

  1. Six-direction placement

    A hopper can be placed on any face of a block, including the top, and its spout points away from the clicked surface.

  2. Independent push and pull

    Push and pull directions can be changed separately, so one hopper can take from the top and send to the east, for example.

  3. Compass reconfiguration

    A held compass cycles the pull direction on right-click and the push direction on left-click, through five valid options each.

  4. Action bar feedback

    After each change, a message on the action bar shows the new push or pull direction, so the setting is visible without opening a screen.

  5. Vanilla compatibility

    Hoppers placed before the mod was installed keep the vanilla pull-from-above behavior, and Minecart Hoppers fall back to it.

What the author says

Place hoppers in all 6 directions. Rotate push and pull independently with a compass. Vanilla hoppers are locked: they always pull from above and can only push downward or sideways. HexHopper removes that restriction. When you place a hopper, it faces the surface you clicked — including up. Use a compass to…
