Making Vacuum Hoppers in GM4

Hi Everyone,

I have seen it before, just not in Gamemode 4. So I searched for Command Block Creations, that have the functionality of a Vacuum Hopper, and I found this Video from Jragon: Vacuum Hoppers in 1 Command. Credit, where Credit is due, right?

My Module here is made of 20 Command Blocks + Hopper Clock, with the Dimensions: 6*2*2

2015-12-30 17.56.21 — The Module Itself

What I tinkered together here takes Inspiration from Jragon, but also from the Custom Crafter Base Module. You will need that Module (I used the 1.8 Version) for two Materials needed.

Crafting Recipes:

2015-12-30 17.45.26 — Recipe Compressed Iron

2015-12-30 17.48.48 — Recipe Singularity Gem

Inside a Hopper you need 2 Compressed Iron and 1 Singularity Gem, plus 2 Enderpearls, like this:

2015-12-30 17.49.52 — Recipe for the Vacuum Hopper

Then you need to throw an Eye of Ender onto the Hopper, which then Makes the Vacuum Hopper:

2015-12-30 17.50.13 — The Ender Eye needs to be sunk into the Hopper

The Idea is, you create a miniature Black Hole that has an attractive Force on every Item in a Radius of 5 Blocks. The Lore on the Items is a bit Silly, but hey..

2015-12-30 17.50.30 — The Vacuum Hopper, with some Particles

I made a 1-Click that can be found here: http://pastebin.com/ikcPVMmv

No Scoreboard objective is needed. The scoreboard players tag function does the job just fine. The Armor Stand gets the Custom Name: GM4_VacuumHopper

That´s about it, really. Play around with the Module and have fun. ;)

Dude it looks amazing, my only recommendation is to require a block of obsidian in the middle of the hopper. That just makes it more expensive, and it prevents the eye of ender from being picked up by the hopper accidentally. Also obsidian kinda fits the theme of the vacuum hopper.

I recently found this Suggestion on Custom Materials for Module makers: Mo´ Materials: http://gamemode4.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:13746

It could possibly fit to use some of the proposed Materials for the Construction of the Vacuum Hoppers. Compressed Obsidian or just Obsidian instead of the Eye of Ender, that´s okay. Also, to use 2 Void Ingots instead of the 2 Iron Blocks seem fitting. What do you think? Unfortunately right now, it´s just a suggestion, not a real module, but maybe in the Future?

Also, the GM4-Standard changed slightly. So now, I can make lots of the Command Blocks conditional, which make things less laggy, hopefully.

Maybe a detectionsystem to check for the mo' materials, if so youse the advanced recipy, otherwise use the standard vanilla.

I think I stick to the Vanilla Materials, because I have limited knowledge about Commands, so i have no Idea how I should do this.

Also, I have tried to make this Module as good as it can possibly be, so I changed the Clock to the Falling Sand Clock and made most of the Commands Conditional. Also I encounterd a problem that sometimes, Items fly out of the Hopper. This was caused by the Armorstand being inside the block, and Items in 1.9 get a high upwards velocity, when inside of Blocks. So i lifted the ArmorStand up accordingly. Didn´t see this happen ever since, and the Armorstand still looks alright, if you ask me. Also changed the order of some commands so that the Ender Eye doesn´t get sucked in anymore before it can be killed. That happened to me just once as it was lagging a bit too much. Now the only Commands activated every pulse are:

1. Checking for Ender Eye (as an Entity) inside any Hopper.

2. Checking if the ArmorStand is in air, when the Hopper gets destroyed.

3. make some purple particles, for visual appereance.

4. teleport any Item in a radius of 5 Blocks to the Armorstand to the Hopper - the main function

I also tried to make some witchmagic-particles everytime Items get tp´d to the Armorstand. Unfortunately, the Execute Command doesn´t allow datatags for the detect-mode. So i dropped that Idea, as i have no easy way to make this without some major drawbacks.

Anyway, here is the newest Version of this module: Vacuum Hoppers Version 2.1

Was going to add a similiar block to Project Cactus... That could suck items or mobs. Well, I'll see.

Sure, go ahead, and if you figure out how to this thing with the particles, let me know. ;)

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=GM4_VacuumHopper] ~ ~ ~ execute @e[type=Item,r=3] ~ ~ ~ particle witchMagic ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 0.85 5

That should works fine xD

Well, thanks anyway ! I'll try to make it a bit more expensive, so if your module is added to the server and mine too, your Vacumm Hopper will be more popular ;)

Yeah, like I said: "limited knowledge" - It didn´t even occur to me that you could do that. TIL!

But I´m happy to see it working :D - I added it right away: Version 2.2 with sparkly effects
