Suction Hopper
- Acts as the Top part of a Normal Hopper
- Primary Feature is the Suction Radius.
- Can be linked to other Hoppers, Chests, Furnace, etc.
- It is the "Collector".
Transfer Hopper
- Acts as the Bottom Part of a Normal Hopper
- Primary Feature is the Links Amount and Transfer Amount
- Can be linked to other Hoppers, Chests, Furnace, etc.
It is the "Pipe/Conveyor Belt"
Though both can still be used like the other, that is their specialty.
Both can also be used as a normal hopper, but its better to use it as intended.
You can think of them as Wireless Hopper System.
Upgrades
- Links Amount
- How many containers connected from it.
- Transfer Amount
- How fast/how many items are transferred per cycle.
- Suction Radius
- How "wide" it sucks items
- Max Link Distance
- How "far" the distance the container and the hopper can be connected
Functions
- Link to Containers
- Left Click this option to link this hopper to 1 container, Shift + Left Click this option to link this hopper to multiple containers
- Right Click this option to unlink this hopper to 1 container, Shift + Right Click this option to unlink this hopper to multiple containers
- Drop (Q) this option to cancel the Shift + Click mode
Links
- Here, you can do filtering of items
- Insert by Order
- If enabled, would fill the first container linked and would only go to the next container if the previous one is full
- If disabled, would split the items across all containers linked, the numbers are based on the Transfer Amount
- Mode
- Whitelist - would only take Item/s in the Filter
- Blacklist - would ignore all Item/s in the Filter
Strict Filtering
- If enabled, would only take that Specific Item
- Example, if you put a Sharpness V Enchanted Book in the filter, it would only take/ignore ALL Sharpness V Enchanted Book
- If disabled, would take all items that is like the item in the Filter
- Example, if you put Sharpness V Enchanted Book in the filter, it would take/ignore ALL Enchanted Books, even if its a Mending, Efficiency, or other Enchanted Book, as long as its an Enchanted Book
How to make a Filter like a Vanilla Filter using these Hoppers
- Enable "Insert by Order" so that it'll prioritize the First Container that is Linked
- Make the Filter Whitelist to only take the items in the Filter
- Enable "Strict Filtering" to only take that Specific Item
