What It Does
Hopper Gadgetry introduces new hopper types to your Minecraft setup. The mod aims to help you build contraptions that are smarter and cheaper than standard vanilla options. And it complements your existing storage and transportation lineup with these additional items.
The project is developed by Fuzs. It's available under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. You can find the source code on GitHub, where the developer maintains branches for different Minecraft versions.
Compatibility
You need this mod on both the client and server sides for it to work. It supports two mod loaders: Fabric and NeoForge. Don't mix loaders; pick one for your setup.
The mod supports specific Minecraft versions. It works on 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Real talk, and that doesn't support other versions. The repository lists 1.21.11 as archived, meaning it no longer receives updates. That 26.1.x and 26.2.x branches are active. A 26.2.x branch is the primary development target. That 26.1.x branch is maintained and receives backports.

The mod is categorized under Storage and Transportation on Modrinth. It's a Java mod. You should check the specific version of Minecraft you are using before installing. If you're on a version not listed above, the mod won't work.
Who It's For
This mod suits players who want to expand their automation capabilities. If you build complex storage systems or transportation networks, the new hoppers offer more options. The focus on cheaper contraptions suggests it may reduce resource costs for certain builds. However, the evidence does not specify exactly how much cheaper or what specific mechanics the new hoppers have beyond being "new hoppers."
You should verify your mod loader and Minecraft version match the supported list. The mod requires both client and server installation. If you are running a dedicated server, ensure all players have the mod installed on their clients as well.
