    Dear Sklyblock,
    Many months ago, I was disappointed when I heard that hoppers were disabled. Being one that likes to utilize redstone, this meant a collection of contraptions I could build would be rendered useless. However, I understand that there is very good reason to disabling them, stated in the reasons below.


    Why hoppers were disabled:

    1. Hoppers are highly abusive as the fact that they can suck items from containers with little trace means that they can be utilized for theft, where a hopper is simply placed under a lockette container.

    2. Hoppers can be used to fully automate farms, and may be seen as unfair. Since hoppers can pick up dropped items, farms can be hooked up to a timer and pistons to auto-harvest farms to store in a chest, even when the player is offline. This can be seen as unfair as someone can effortlessly make profit.

    However, hoppers have many pros too:

    1) Create interesting redstone machines

    2) Help with payment systems, often a time when holding a Skin Competition, some people can pick up other's payments, but hoppers can pick up items faster than players.

    3) Auto-restock shops.

    My idea to be able to use hoppers without abusing it is that when a hopper is placed, it is defaultly disabled, but the one placing it has to ask a Mod to activate it. The mod has to check if the hopper is meant for an abusive purpose. E.g: Placed under a lockette chest, place in a farm, placed in a random spot (The player can build an auto farm over it).

    But if the Mod sees theres no abuse, the hopper is activated and can be used for what the player meant it for.

    I'm open to any feedback, good or bad. Thanks for reading!

    Yours Sincerely,
    Affendo.

    Well, the player can place a hopper, then say it's for nothing or a shop, break the chest, and turn that into a farm. I'd suggest making it only able to transport, but not pick up. Other than that, no Support.

    theres 50 threads for hoppers, it was more or less a duping issue discovered
    they wont return until thats patched.


    as for looting? make sure you trust your coops and trust list.
    if you dont, dont have them on there :p

    but anyways no input, just adding info.

    Hoppers were disabled because of duping glitches some people found.
    I'm neutral for now. In order for me to support I would need the bug fixed. I also think they are too over powered in some cases.
