How to Filter Tools and Armor with a Copper Hopper

Configuring Gear Filters

Unlike standard vanilla sorting contraptions that struggle with non-stackable equipment, Copper Hoppers can natively handle items like tools and armor.

1. Place your Copper Hopper in line with your armory or gear storage system.

2. Open the Copper Hopper interface.

3. Place the specific piece of armor or tool you wish to sort into one of the slots.

4. Matching items will now be recognized and pulled or pushed by the hopper while ignoring other item types.

Leaving an Empty Slot

Handling tools and armor requires a specific slot arrangement to prevent your system from locking up:

• You must leave at least one slot inside the Copper Hopper completely empty for the sorting process to work properly.
• Because the Copper Hopper always retains at least one item to preserve its filter, non-stackable items occupy an entire slot just to maintain the filter setting.
• Without at least one empty slot available, incoming tools or armor will have no room to enter and pass through the hopper.
• Keep the remaining slots unassigned to ensure a smooth item flow for your gear sorting lines.
