Diamond Hoppers

# Diamond Hoppers

Give your storage system a simple upgrade. Diamond Hoppers adds **wood, gold, diamond and netherite hoppers** with the familiar vanilla shape, five inventory slots, and a clear crafting progression.

Start with an inexpensive wooden hopper, then upgrade through gold and diamond to netherite for **up to 8x vanilla transfer speed**.

## Pick your speed

| Hopper | Transfer interval | Items per second |

 

| Wood | 12 ticks | 1.67 |

| Vanilla iron | 8 ticks | 2.5 |

| Gold | 4 ticks | 5 |

| Diamond | 2 ticks | 10 |

| Netherite | 1 tick | 20 |

Wood is the affordable starter: it moves about **33% fewer items per second than vanilla**. The vanilla iron hopper stays unchanged. Rates assume 20 game ticks per second, available items, and an unblocked destination; connected inventories can limit a chain’s throughput.

## Familiar hopper behavior

– Vanilla hopper geometry with oak, gold, diamond and netherite material textures.

– Five inventory slots and one-item inventory transfers.

– Collect dropped items and pull from containers above.

– Output downward or horizontally, just like vanilla.

– Redstone locking, comparator output, custom names and saved inventories.

– Recipe-book unlocks and all four tiers in the Redstone creative tab.

The higher tiers use faster timing, so redstone sorters and contraptions may need adjustment.

## Requirements and installation

– Minecraft Java Edition **26.2 or 26.3**.
