What Are Upgradeable Hoppers?
Upgradeable Hoppers are enhanced hoppers with additional features to make your redstone and farming experience easier. Their suction radius can be increased to be more efficient in farms. They can auto sort, and filter items for you as well. You can also toggle them to auto delete items instead of collect them. You can connect them to multiple chests with specific items going into each chest.
Where Can I Get an Upgradeable Hopper?
You can purchase one from another player, /shop or purchase it off the auction house if another player has listed it.
Setting Up Your First Hopper
Once you’ve obtained a hopper the first thing you’ll need to do is place it down. Once you’ve placed it down you can left-click it to see the hopper menu. Right-click to see the contents of the hopper.
Within the menu you have multiple options. You can also view the stats of the hoppers. By default when you place down the hopper it will automatically start collecting in a 2 block radius. To upgrade your suction radius, transfer amount, max link distance, and max links you can left-click the icon for each category to upgrade it.
Hopper Links and Sorting
After you’ve upgraded to your preferences you can begin to setup the hopper links. Links are chests that are connected to your hopper that will receive the items it collects. To make your first link make sure to place down a chest and open your hopper menu by left-clicking.
Select the link to containers icon on the bottom row. After you’ve left-clicked the icon you can leave the hopper menu and left-click the chest you would like to link to your hopper. Once you have successfully linked the chest you will receive a message saying “This chest is linked!”. To edit the filters on your links you can select the links icon.
If you have a link already you will see a chest in this next screen. If there is no chest please go back a step and make sure to setup a link first.
Left-click the chest to manage the filter so you can select which items are sorted into this chest. At the bottom of the menu you can toggle whether you are blacklisting items or whitelisting items. Blacklisting is what items it ignores from picking up. Whitelist is the only items it will pickup. After you have selected which mode you prefer you can click items in your inventory that you would like to add to your whitelist or blacklist. To remove an item you can simply click it in the menu to delete it from your list.
You can also enable or disable strict filtering. This simply will decide if it will allow any version of an item or if it must be the exact item.
You can also copy and paste your filter settings and mode to other links after you’ve completed your first one. This will save time and make it a bit easier.
