Skyblock Make hoppers less laggy by disabling their check to pick entity items up

(I stole Mafro's format because i think its awesome)

Currently: Every single hopper placed checks for an item to pick up on the block on top of it, when sometimes they are just meant to transport items. This adds a lot of unnecessary server lag which slows down the server.

Suggestion: Disable their check when a block is placed on top of them

Impact: The impact to performance would be positive, but I have no way of exactly estimating the full impact. There would be no further impact to the server.

Effort: Medium I think.

 

No Support I really like the idea but there’s flaws I use a type of storage system that placed soul sand on top of hoppers to allow items to flow at a slower rate allowing the hoppers to pick up the items making hoppers not picking up items of theres a block on top of it would break this design and no other sorting system would work for me

 

couldn't you jsut remove the water and soul sand and make the items land on a single hopper?

 

No because the soul sand slows the items down so the hoppers have time to collect everything if I were to remove the soul sand and just use the hoppers the water would push the items too fast and the hoppers wouldn’t have enough time to pick up all the items

 

I was suggesting removing the water as well

 

I remember a type of melon/pumpkin farm that worked by pushing melons/pumpkins into a block with a hopper underneath these kinds of farms would break so neutral
