Nerfed Hoppers - [POLL]

[NorthWestTrees]

Hello, My in-game name is NorthWestTrees, I would like to share with the community my experience when I first discoverer that the hoppers where nerfed and why I think they should be fixed.

I can't remember when I joined first but me and my friend where looking for a server to settle on and play together like most people looking to play on a server. It was going fine, all was going well, I just built my farm using hoppers going in to a chest. it was not a big for or wide at least the hoppers only need to travel 16 blocks to reach the chest witch was the with of the farm. I get it done log off for the night after harvesting it making sure its works fine.

I get on in the morning and I let the garden grow then go to harvest it and the hoppers don't work.

All my items out side what was stored in the empty hoppers despawned after 5 min because I needed to go up to my house to get a pick and a chest to store all the items of 18 farm levels that hold 64 crops each.

I did do the right thing brought it up to staff by MSG, I was insured that there was nothing wrong with the hoppers and that I Quote! "It was just me." harsh words to tell a new player that's letting staff know about a bug on the server. maybe its just me, but its not the point.

the point is without hoppers you cant transport items for lest then 5 min or they will despawn even then you cant store them in chests because without having more then one hopper collecting it will back up large over flows of items leaving many to despawn like it did in my case for my semi automatic garden.

last but not least hoppers don't travel (North, West, South, East or Up) more then one block, making transporting items out of the question to any same level location.

this means the only way you can go is down, me and my friend have tried number of things getting it to work every thing from Hopper Minecarts to unloading the chunk by logging off and then joining again we have tested diforent items and also in single player and the result is the same that hoppers don't work on this sever because they where nerfed by the server.

Please vote to get this problem fixed, if the over all community stands up and says it should be fixed they will be forced to fix the problem.

Thank you for your time for reading,
if you have an experience you would like to share regarding hoppers do so below.

Easy solution for this. Collect your farms produces yourself!

Hoppers indeed won't move items up, that's the way mojang made them.
You'd need to make an item elevator for that.
But hoppers will move items to the next connected hopper, and so on, all the way into a container
(chest, furnace, etc), if they are facing the correct way.

Now there is a glitch that sometimes causes hopper(s) to stick, not moving the items forward.
What has fixed this problem for me is after you have the hoppers correctly placed, have everyone leave
the area (go chill at spawn or where ever) for a minute or 2 to let the chunk unload.
When the chunk reloads, the hoppers should be working.

Also one more thing. after you place each hopper, you need to click in to it's inventory, then place the next one and click in to it's inventory. If you do not then the items may or may not move through the hopper chain, but be going to the inventory right after you place it will ensure that the items do move through it.

I have been doing it all my self but its limited to how many items can be dropped at a time, or it will despawn

I do know that they will not move up if you however want them to move up without despawning you can used droppers in regular Minecraft. after your dropper is pointing up you make it go in to another hopper and repeat its self.

Also one more thing. after you place each hopper, you need to click in to it's inventory, then place the next one and click in to it's inventory. If you do not then the items may or may not move through the hopper chain, but be going to the inventory right after you place it will ensure that the items do move through it.

You are totally right it has something to do with the gui for chest storage not sure why it would work in vanilla but not on the server makes no since but they do have tuns of there own plugins for it some my guess it has something to do with code override, maybe a variable was used that the hoppers use. I don't know but they should look in to it for sure. but I did test your idea, and it dose work, you don't even need to unload the chunk but you do need to open each GUI for the items to pass each hopper or it will get stuck.

this will be a good suggestion for a quick fix but I still think Kreatious should fine the source of the matter and try to fix it.

I just want to thank Kenster1965, ShadyVale and V3N0M_123, for your support in finding a temporary solution.
Feel free to vote still to help kreatious see the impact on players.

Hoppers are not nerfed on kreatious, but there is a bug that sometimes causes them not to work correctly.
