Speed Up Item Sorting with the Golden Hopper

Doubling Your Throughput

The Golden Hopper processes items twice as fast as a normal hopper, making it ideal for high-volume sorting systems and farms that produce large amounts of loot quickly.

When to Use It

  • Farm automation: Place it under crop farms or mob grinders where items accumulate rapidly.
  • Sorting systems: Use it as the main input hopper to feed items into your sorting network faster.
  • Bottleneck relief: If your normal hoppers can't keep up with item flow, swap one for a Golden Hopper.

Placement Tips

Golden Hoppers work like regular hoppers—they pull from containers above and push to containers below or to the sides. Combine multiple Golden Hoppers in series for even faster processing, or pair one with a Copper Hopper for fast, filtered collection. The speed boost applies whether the hopper is pulling or pushing items.
