Hopper Moderator

Overview

Have you ever wanted to have more control over Minecraft's hopper mechanics? Maybe automatic farms are destroying your server's economy, or your players are stealing items from chests using hoppers. You want to block some functions, yet still need hoppers to perform other tasks.

This plugin began after a request was made here on the Bukkit forums.

Hopper Moderator gives server administrators the options to:

• prevent hoppers from collecting items that are dropped into them
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into brewing stands
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into chests
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into dispensers
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into droppers
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into furnaces
• prevent hoppers from taking items from or depositing items into other hoppers

Configuration

There are no permissions or commands; all configuration is done via the config file. Here is a sample of one section:

  Chest:
  # Hoppers will not deposit items into chests
    In: true
  # Hoppers will not take items from chests
    Out: false

In this case:

• The function preventing hoppers from depositing items into chests is enabled; hoppers will not deposit items into chests.
• The function preventing hoppers from taking items from chests is disabled; hoppers will take items from chests.

There are similar sections for configuring the settings relating to dropped items, brewing stands, dispensers, droppers, furnaces and other hoppers.

After you have edited anything in the configuration file you must save and close it and reload the plugin for your changes to take effect.

Planned Updates

• Add the option for individual materials to be blacklisted
