# Omni-Hopper<\/p>\n
> Have you ever thought about why hoppers can only suck from above?
\nYou could say it makes sense from a realism perspective,
\nor mention it encourages creativity through limitations.
\n>
\n> These are all valid arguments of course.
\nBut who cares about reason when you have to get an item
\nfrom one machine to another in some awkward configuration,
\nand you have to decipher some obscure pipe mod to insert it from below,
\nor spend ages working your way up a tech tree to craft some other kind of transport method?
\n>
\n> Don’t you wish the humble 5 iron ingot hopper would help you out in these situations?
\nBut alas, it was not meant to be.
\nIt seemed we would be forever shackled in chains laid upon us by lord Jeb himself.
\n>
\n> Until one day, the young Omni-Hopper was born.
\nWith a small offering of one copper ingot,
\none everyday hopper can be freed from its constraints,
\nand be placed in any possible orientation!
\nSurely this will change the fate of Modded Minecraftia forevermore,
\nno longer shall players have to suffer under the rule of realism.
\nFreedom is within our grasp!
\n>
\n> Add Omni-Hopper to your modpack today and free your hoppers!<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Omni-Hoppers<\/p>\n
This is a variant of vanilla hoppers that can be placed in any orientation, sucking from and inserting into any side.
\nIt can be crafted by combining a regular hopper with a copper ingot.<\/p>\n
Placing an omni-hopper can be confusing at first, but it’s actually quite simple.
\nThe “sucky bit” (input) will always face *towards* the player that placed it,
\nmeanwhile the “pointy bit” (output) will face *into the block* the player placed it on.
\nThink of it like the input following the same placement logic as a piston,
\nwhile the output uses the logic of a log or pillar block.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Floppers<\/p>\n
Floppers are another hopper variant that transports fluids instead of items.
\nWhenever possible they will pick up fluids from the world using their sucky side.<\/p>\n
They can be crafted using the same recipe as a regular hopper,
\nbut replacing iron with copper and the chest with a bucket.<\/p>\n
Since they’re made of copper, they can oxidize and be waxed like any other copper block.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Whoppers<\/p>\n
A basic alternative to vanilla hoppers. They operate at half the speed of a regular hopper,
\nand contain only one inventory slot.
\nBut they’re also very cheap to craft, only requiring 5 planks and a chest.<\/p>\n
They also don’t respond to redstone, which can be a curse or a blessing depending on your needs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Omni variants for all<\/p>\n
All custom hopper types come with their own omnidirectional variant,
\nagain crafted by combining it with a single copper ingot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Lidless Chests<\/p>\n
These simple blocks will instantly drop any inserted items onto the ground.
\nThey can face in any direction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Examples<\/p>\n
### Basic upside-down sorter<\/p>\n
An unconventional sorter that uses Omni-Whoppers to pull items out of a water stream from above.
\nThe items are dropped into the stream using a Lidless Chest.<\/p>\n
