Golden Hopper is a simple mod created by famous mod creator MrCrayfish. As obvious from its name, this mod adds golden hoppers and golden hopper minecarts. Golden hoppers act as item sorters. It will only allow specific items to pass through.

Golden hoppers are a readymade item sorter. It is also easy to craft as players only need one hopper, five gold ingots, two redstone dust, and one comparator. Like regular snapshots, combining a golden hopper with a minecart will create a golden minecart hopper.
