Faster Hoppers

Faster Hoppers

v2.0.2 - Changelog

- Added items-per-stack config — set how many items are pulled per slot per transfer - Fixed items-per-transfer — now correctly cycles through slots per tick - Worlds not in enabled-worlds now run at vanilla speed instead of freezing - Thanks to ronko_01 for reporting on discord.

A lightweight Paper/Spigot plugin that makes hoppers transfer items faster. Works on Minecraft 1.21.x+

How It Works

Vanilla hoppers transfer 1 item every 8 ticks (2.5 items/second). This plugin:

1. Handles both PUSH and PULL (via `InventoryMoveItemEvent`) 2. Handles both PUSH and PULL at your configured speed 3. Handles both PUSH and PULL operations

Installation

1. Download `FasterHoppers-2.0.2.jar` 2. Put it in your `plugins/` folder 3. Restart the server 4. Done! Hoppers are now 8x faster by default

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/fh reload` | Reload config and restart hopper task | | `/fh speed <ticks>` | Set transfer speed (1-100) | | `/fh debug` | Toggle debug mode | | `/fh info` | Show current settings |

Permissions

| Permission | Description | |------------|-------------| | `fasterhoppers.admin` | Access to all commands |

Troubleshooting

Hoppers aren't faster after changing config

1. Make sure `disable-vanilla-transfer: true` is set 2. Run `/fh reload` (this restarts the task with new settings) 3. Enable debug mode: `/fh debug` - you should see transfer messages

Hoppers stopped working entirely

1. Check if hoppers are powered (redstone disables them) 2. Check `enabled-worlds` in config - empty list means all worlds 3. Check server console for errors

Server lag with many hoppers

Set `max-hoppers-per-tick` to limit processing: ```yaml performance: max-hoppers-per-tick: 500 ```

Debug mode

Run `/fh debug` to enable. You'll see messages like: ``` [DEBUG] Pulled 1 items from above [DEBUG] Pushed 1 items to DOWN [DEBUG] Processed 24 hoppers this tick ```

Speed Reference

| transfer-speed | Transfers/sec | Multiplier | |----------------|---------------|------------| | 1 tick | 20/sec | 8x faster | | 2 ticks | 10/sec | 4x faster | | 4 ticks | 5/sec | 2x faster | | 8 ticks | 2.5/sec | Vanilla | | 20 ticks | 1/sec | Slower |

Requirements

- Paper/Spigot 1.21.x or newer - Java 21+
