Variable Hoppers

I originally build this so I could build and test farms in creative for the DonutSMP server, as they have different hopper speed settings. The default config of this mod will be the DonutSMP hopper settings (batch size of 12 items, cooldown of 5 ticks).

Features

• Adjustable Batch Size: Transfer 1 to 64 items per operation
• Adjustable Cooldown: Set delay between transfers (1-100 ticks)
• Server-Friendly: Works on both servers and singleplayer
• Lightweight: No performance impact

Comparison

Setting	Vanilla	DonutSMP Config
Batch Size	1 item	12 items
Cooldown	8 ticks (0.4s)	5 ticks (0.25s)
Transfer Rate	2.5 items/sec	48 items/sec

Commands

All commands require operator permission (level 2).

Command	Description
/variablehoppers	Show current settings
/variablehoppers batchsize <1-64>	Items transferred per operation
/variablehoppers cooldown <1-100>	Ticks between transfers
/variablehoppers reset	Reset to vanilla values

Short alias: Use /vh instead of /variablehoppers

Understanding the Settings

Batch Size

How many items move in a single transfer operation.

• Vanilla: 1 item
• Range: 1-64 items

How many game ticks between each transfer.

• Vanilla: 8 ticks (0.4 seconds)
• Range: 1-100 ticks
• Note: 20 ticks = 1 second

Transfer Rate Formula

Items per second = (20 ÷ cooldown) × batchSize
