Hopper The Hedgehog (Faster Hoppers/Dispensers)
by A5ho9999
Hopper The Hedgehog speeds up hoppers and dispensers on Fabric, with settings for transfer speed and the number of items a dispenser or dropper fires.
What it does
Hoppers move items on a fixed timer in vanilla. Under this mod the transfer rate and the amount moved per tick can be raised, and the values are set in a config file that the server owner edits. Dispensers and droppers get a separate toggle, so they can release more than one item at a time, and ender pearls no longer take long stretches of time to empty out. Soul torches can be shown to indicate when a hopper skips a transfer, which is how the mod reports the chance of skipping at each speed between 1 and 4.
The mod requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and gives access to the settings screen, and the same options can be changed in-game with the command hopperhedgehog followed by HopperFunctions set to true or false. Environment: server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, across 29 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3, under a custom license that is not open source. The latest build, 3.1.2-1.26.3, targets 26.3 and dates from 2026-09-22.
