Hoppers
« on: 28 Jun 2013, 20:50:45 »
I believe hoppers should be added to the game, because they would make it less time consuming to pick up your harvest. I only see a couple of reasons possibly of why they wouldn't be added to the game and that is a) People would spend less time on the server and b) It might make the server lag if someone does something automatic, but i think people would spend more time on the server or if anything just as much time and i doubt there would be much lag either. Please consider this idea it opens up a whole world of possibilities.

We're aware of the amazing things that the user of hoppers and droppers can offer in-game however; the reason that hoppers (and droppers) haven't already been enabled for players is because they provide an option to remove contents  from chests and other forms of storage.

Thus people would be able to steal items from others even if their storage was protected.

Oh I didn't even think about that! That's why you guys run the server! So i assume there is no possible way to implement like a one block radius of user protection in general around chest so no one can place hoppers beside them, or maybe just hopper protection if its not by the same player? Unless that would make other complications for other things.

We love to hear of great and imaginative suggests on how to get round issues like this, however we have already looked into similar ideas to those you suggest; and sadly at this stage they aren't really a technically-sensible or viable option for the reward gained. Thus we now are waiting for a third-party developer to add support for hoppers and droppers in our storage protection plugin. Once this has been added and we're confident in that solution, they are likely to be added.

It would be just like mob heads and item frames but we now have those so it will be soon.

Thanks for answering me! I have been to plenty of servers that don't care. Also is there a possibility for them in v6?

That would be when you tried to connect a hopper TO a chest, which would allow you to put items in the chest, not take them out.

To take items out, you would put the hopper facing away from the chest, and it would withdraw items. Clicking the chest is not required to take items out of it.

I believe most people have there chest on the ground, and in a protected area anyway, but i understand
