How to Set Up Mobile Filtering with Copper Hopper Minecarts

Setting Up Mobile Hopper Filters

The mod includes minecart versions of Copper Hoppers, enabling you to build moving collection and distribution systems that only interact with specific items.

1. Place down regular or powered rails across your collection route or farm area.

2. Place the Copper Hopper Minecart onto the tracks.

3. Open the minecart's inventory to access its filtering slots.

4. Place the items you want the minecart to gather into its inventory slots. You can designate up to 5 distinct item types.

Running the Mobile Sorter

Once configured, the Copper Hopper Minecart functions as a mobile filtering unit:

  • As the minecart travels along your rail system, it will only pull dropped items or withdraw from containers if the items match its configured filters.
  • The minecart consistently retains at least one of each filtered item, guaranteeing that the filter remains intact even after unloading into chests or hoppers along the line.
  • Use powered rails to keep the cart in continuous motion across multi-item farms to efficiently collect target resources while leaving unwanted items behind.
