Hopper Gadgetry
by Fuzs
Hopper Gadgetry adds chutes, ducts and grated hoppers that move items between blocks, with filtering on the grated variant.
What it does
Chutes pass dropped items straight into the container below them and hold no storage of their own. Ducts move items into connected containers in any direction and can be chained, but they do not pull items from the world or from other containers. Only the item types placed in a grated hopper's slots get collected, so sorting systems, compact farms and rail collection lines can be filtered without extra logic. Chute and grated minecart variants bring the same behavior onto rails, so a moving cart can clean up or filter items along its route.
The mod is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Hopper Gadgetry runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest Fabric and NeoForge files target 26.3.0 while the latest Forge file targets 1.20.1. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, and Forge Config Screens is optional for configuration screens.
Key features
Grated hoppers
Grated hoppers collect only the item types assigned to their slots, leaving other items on the belt or in the world.
Ducts
Ducts move items into connected containers in any direction, and several can be chained together into a line.
Chutes
Chutes drop items straight down into the container beneath, with no input or storage slots to manage.
Rail variants
Grated and chute minecarts bring filtering and downward transfer onto rails, so collection paths can move with the cart.
