SwiftHopper

SwiftHopper is a high-performance, lightweight Paper plugin built specifically for Paper 1.21+ and Java 21. It gives server administrators global control over hopper transfer speeds and item amounts across their entire server network.

Unlike older plugins that run heavy global background tasks or repeating tick loops, SwiftHopper hooks directly into native Paper inventory transfer events. This guarantees minimal CPU usage and eliminates server tick lag, even on large networks with thousands of active hoppers.
