Magnetic Hopper Chains

Magnetic Hopper Chains

This datapack gives hoppers magnetic linking behavior for simplified item transportation systems.

Features

- Hoppers automatically link when placed in straight horizontal lines within 3 blocks of each other - Links form regardless of hopper facing direction - Items route toward the nearest valid inventory destination at chain ends - Items move at twice normal hopper speed through chains - Chain detection runs every few seconds and marks linked hoppers with particle pulses - Breaking hoppers causes automatic rerouting through remaining connections - Chains can branch at intersections with items splitting evenly between paths - Lightweight detection system uses periodic position checking instead of per-tick scanning - Uses area effect clouds as invisible markers to track links without constant block scanning
