fastHopper
by zilin233
With fastHopper installed on a server, hopper blocks move items at a speed the admin sets, from 1 game tick up to 50 ticks.
What it does
The mod changes the transfer speed of hopper blocks only. A server admin sets a tick speed in a range of 1 to 50, where 1 is the fastest and 50 the slowest, and the vanilla default of 8 applies until changed. Hopper minecarts keep their original behavior, so only the block version is affected.
Changing the speed takes a simple command, and the setting is kept in config files, so it persists across restarts. Running the command requires operator level 2 or higher. Fabric Loader and Fabric API must be installed, and the mod is provided only for Fabric; a Forge version has been mentioned but is not available.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, though single-player, LAN hosts and clients can also run it alone. Files exist for 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.1.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest Fabric file. It is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Adjustable transfer speed
Hopper transfer speed can be set between 1 and 50 game ticks, with 8 as the vanilla default.
Block hoppers only
The change applies to hopper blocks, while hopper minecarts keep their original transfer behavior.
Simple admin command
A single command changes the tick speed, and the value is saved in config files that survive restarts.
Operator permission
Only players with operator level 2 can run the command, so regular players cannot change the speed.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want faster or slower item transfer through hoppers without changing other parts of the game. The mod needs operator access on the server to change the setting.
How it compares
Enhanced Hoppers is a Fabric server-side mod for 1.21.5 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Fast Place+ is different in kind: it is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License and changes block placement, not hoppers. ConfigureHopperSpeed covers 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric with client and server environments, under the Apache License 2.0, and is open source.
