20 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft a 
Wooden Hopper?
Place five Planks in a pattern around one Chest in the crafting grid (the Chest goes in the center). You'll unlock the recipe in your recipe book once you collect a Chest.
Why is my Wooden Hopper so slow?
Wooden Hoppers operate at half the speed of vanilla hoppers by default (every 16 ticks instead of 8). You can adjust the `woodenHopperCooldown` config option to make it faster or slower depending on your needs.
Can I make a Wooden Hopper push-only?
Yes, disable the `woodenHopperPullItemsFromInventoriesEnabled` and `woodenHopperPullItemsFromWorldEnabled` config options. This creates a hopper that only pushes items downward without pulling from above.
How many items can a Wooden Hopper hold?
A Wooden Hopper has only one slot, so it can hold a maximum of one stack of items at a time.
