Smart Hopper for Hytale

Automate your world with precision, control — and intelligent item flow.

The Smart Hopper mod expands Hytale’s automation with advanced, visually clear, Minecraft-inspired item transport mechanics. Build reliable storage systems, smart furnace setups, and complex processing lines — while always knowing exactly where your items will go.

Every hopper clearly shows its orientation and behavior directly on the model.
No guessing. No hidden logic. Just smart automation.

🚀 Core Features

• Visual Placement Logic
Smart Hoppers automatically detect how they are placed (Floor, Wall, Ceiling) and visually reflect their behavior:

- Placed on top → points downward → feeds items
- Placed on the side → points sideways → feeds fuel
- Placed underneath → pulls items out
- Placed on the ceiling → fully inverted → pulls from below, pushes upward

This makes hopper behavior readable at a glance.

• Slot-Targeted Item Transfer (Minecraft-Style)
Smart Hoppers interact with machines based on placement:

- Top placement → Input slot
- Side placement → Fuel slot
- Bottom placement → Output slot / inventory extraction

Perfect control over automation without slot conflicts.

• Inverted (Ceiling) Hoppers
Ceiling-mounted hoppers are visually flipped and reverse their logic:
They pull items from below and push them upward — enabling vertical transport and compact elevator systems.

• Physics-Free Placement
Hoppers can float freely and connect directly to each other without support blocks.
Ideal for clean, compact automation builds.

• Dropped Item Pickup
Hoppers can collect dropped items from the ground, just like classic Minecraft hoppers.

• Seamless Automation
Fully compatible with salvagers, outer workbenches, furnaces, and machines.

🧠 Advanced Hopper Types (NEW)

🔀 Distributor Hopper
This hopper ensures fairness.

Function:
Items are distributed evenly in a round-robin loop.
Item 1 → Output 1
Item 2 → Output 2
Item 3 → Output 3
… and so on.

Use Case:
Perfect for evenly splitting fuel across multiple furnaces or distributing items into parallel processing lines.

Visual Guide:
Numbers (1–4) on the model clearly show the exact output order.

🥇 Priority Hopper
This hopper follows a strict hierarchy.

Function:
Always tries Output 1 first.
If Output 1 is full or unavailable, it moves on to Output 2, then 3, then 4.

Use Case:
Ideal for overflow systems:
“Fill my main chest first — send excess items to backup or trash.”

Visual Guide:
Marked sides (1–4) indicate priority.
Side 1 = Master Output.

🎲 Randomizer Hopper
This hopper embraces chaos.

Function:
Each item is sent to a completely random output.
No pattern. No fairness. Just randomness.

Use Case:
Great for gambling machines, random rewards, unpredictable systems — or just fun builds.

🛠️ Crafting

All hopper variants are fully craftable.

Smart Hopper:
- 3× Copper Ingots
- 1× Small Chest
Crafted at a Workbench.

Distributor Hopper, Priority Hopper & Randomizer Hopper:
- Crafted using Smart Hoppers plus additional components (see in-game recipes).

🎨 Texture Update (NEW)

All hopper models received a texture update:
- Cleaner details
- Improved readability
- Clearer markings for output order and priority

This makes hopper behavior even easier to understand visually.
