Randomizer Distributor Hopper/Priority Hopper

Smart Hopper for Hytale

Automate your world with precision, control — and intelligent item flow.

The Smart Hopper mod expands Hytale’s automation with advanced, visually clear, Minecraft-inspired item transport mechanics. Build reliable storage systems, smart furnace setups, and complex processing lines — while always knowing exactly where your items will go.

Every hopper clearly shows its orientation and behavior directly on the model. No guessing. No hidden logic. Just smart automation.

🚀 Core Features

• Visual Placement Logic Smart Hoppers automatically detect how they are placed (Floor, Wall, Ceiling) and visually reflect their behavior:

- Placed on top → points downward → feeds items - Placed on the side → points sideways → feeds fuel - Placed underneath → pulls items out - Placed on the ceiling → fully inverted → pulls from below, pushes upward

This makes hopper behavior readable at a glance.

• Slot-Targeted Item Transfer (Minecraft-Style) Smart Hoppers interact with machines based on placement:

- Top placement → Input slot - Side placement → Fuel slot - Bottom placement → Output slot / inventory extraction

Perfect control over automation without slot conflicts.

• Inverted (Ceiling) Hoppers Ceiling-mounted hoppers are visually flipped and reverse their logic: They pull items from below and push them upward — enabling vertical transport and compact elevator systems.

• Physics-Free Placement Hoppers can float freely and connect directly to each other without support blocks. Ideal for clean, compact automation builds.

• Dropped Item Pickup Hoppers can collect dropped items from the ground, just like classic Minecraft hoppers.

• Seamless Automation Fully compatible with salvagers, outer workbenches, furnaces, and machines.

🧠 Advanced Hopper Types (NEW)

🔀 Distributor Hopper This hopper ensures fairness.

Function: Items are distributed evenly in a round-robin loop. Item 1 → Output 1 Item 2 → Output 2 Item 3 → Output 3 … and so on.

Use Case: Perfect for evenly splitting fuel across multiple furnaces or distributing items into parallel processing lines.

Visual Guide: Numbers (1–4) on the model clearly show the exact output order.

🥇 Priority Hopper This hopper follows a strict hierarchy.

Function: Always tries Output 1 first. If Output 1 is full or unavailable, it moves on to Output 2, then 3, then 4.

Use Case: Ideal for overflow systems: “Fill my main chest first — send excess items to backup or trash.”

Visual Guide: Marked sides (1–4) indicate priority. Side 1 = Master Output.

🎲 Randomizer Hopper This hopper embraces chaos.

Function: Each item is sent to a completely random output. No pattern. No fairness. Just randomness.

Use Case: Great for gambling machines, random rewards, unpredictable systems — or just fun builds.

🛠️ Crafting

All hopper variants are fully craftable.

Smart Hopper: - 3× Copper Ingots - 1× Small Chest Crafted at a Workbench.

Distributor Hopper, Priority Hopper & Randomizer Hopper: - Crafted using Smart Hoppers plus additional components (see in-game recipes).

🎨 Texture Update (NEW)

All hopper models received a texture update: - Cleaner details - Improved readability - Clearer markings for output order and priority

This makes hopper behavior even easier to understand visually.
