Automating Piglin Bartering with Hoppers

Attaching Hoppers for Input and Output

The barterer block features full hopper support, allowing you to run an automated trading pipeline without ever opening the block's interface.

1. Place your barterer block containing a piglin in your desired location.

2. Place an input hopper pointing directly into the barterer block. This hopper feeds bartering items straight into the input slot.

3. Place an extraction hopper underneath or leading out from the barterer block. This hopper pulls rewards out of the output slots.

4. Connect a storage container, such as a chest, to the extraction hopper.

Running Continuous Bartering

Once your hoppers are positioned:

1. Place your supply of bartering items into the input hopper or a feeding chest above it.

2. The barterer block will automatically take the items into the input slot and begin trading.

3. Each trade cycle takes exactly 120 ticks (6 seconds) to finish.

4. As soon as the trade completes, the extraction hopper automatically empties the output slots into your connected storage chest.

This setup creates a completely hands-off trading station that runs continuously until your input supply is exhausted.
