FasterHoppers Guide
Master the tiered hopper system with progressive upgrades and item filtering. Each tier increases transfer speed and efficiency for your farms and sorting systems.
Key Features
Item Filtering
Shift + Right-click on a TurboHopper (any tier) to open the filter GUI. Define which items should pass through the hopper.
Progressive Upgrades
Start with a vanilla hopper and upgrade progressively. Each tier builds on the last for an incremental progression system.
Speed Scaling
Each tier increases transfer speed proportionally. Perfect for scaling from small farms to industrial operations.
Deep Link Support
Hoppers can pull items from containers up to 15 blocks away using the hopper deep-link system.
How to Use
- Craft a Slowest Hopper using a vanilla hopper and redstone
- Place hoppers in your farm/sorting system
- Upgrade progressively to faster tiers as resources allow
- Shift + Right-click any hopper to open the filter GUI
- Place items in the filter slots to define what passes through
- Enjoy automatic sorting with configurable speeds!

Item Filtering Guide
Opening the Filter GUI
Hold nothing in your hands and Shift + Right-click on a hopper to open the filter interface.
Setting Filters
Place items you want the hopper to accept into the filter slots. Only those items (and no others) will pass through the hopper.
Clearing Filters
Leave the filter slots empty to allow all items to pass through.
Combining with Sorting
Use multiple hoppers with different filters to create a complete sorting system. Each hopper can have unique item rules.
💡 Tips & Tricks
- Start with Slowest Hoppers for basic sorting, then upgrade key hoppers to Faster/Fastest for bottlenecks
- Use Extreme Hoppers at the output of high-yield farms to prevent backup
- Combine with Deep Link hoppers to pull from containers up to 15 blocks away for compact designs
- Filters work best when you know exactly what items you want to sort
- Experiment with hopper placement to create efficient item routing patterns
