Hopper Upper
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.11 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.

Enables hoppers to be placed pointing up.
How It Works
Simply place a hopper while targeting the bottom face of a block (looking up) - it will automatically become an upward hopper. No separate item or recipe needed.
- Place hopper targeting bottom face → Upward Hopper
- Place hopper targeting any other face → Normal Hopper
- Breaking an upward hopper drops a regular hopper
Features
- Seamless integration - uses vanilla hopper item, no crafting needed
- Server-side only via Polymer - vanilla clients can connect
- Full hopper functionality:
- 5-slot inventory with hopper GUI
- Redstone control (disable with signal)
- Item entity collection from below
- Comparator output support
- Waterlogging
Behavior
The Upward Hopper reverses normal hopper behavior:
- Pulls items from below (block or item entities)
- Pushes items upward to the block above
Useful for item elevators and vertical item transport.
