🔐 Permissions

🎮 How it Works

1. Use /hopper give <player> [amount] to give a player a special hopper.
2. Place the hopper like any normal one.
3. Shift + Right-Click on it to open the filter GUI.
4. Add items you want the hopper to accept.
5. The hopper will now only move the selected items. If the filter is empty, it works like vanilla.

🔗 Permission System

HopperFilterX includes a built-in permission system that allows you to share access to your filtered hoppers with other players:

• Grant Access: Use /hopper addperm <player> <uuid> to allow another player to use your filtered hoppers
  • Without UUID: Grants access to all your current and future filtered hoppers
  • With UUID: Grants access only to a specific hopper
• Revoke Access: Use /hopper removeperm <player> <uuid> to remove a player's access
• Owner Protection: Only the hopper owner can modify filters and manage permissions
• Persistent: Permissions are saved in the database and persist across server restarts

💡 Use Cases

• Create automated item sorters.
• Prevent specific items from being picked up in complex redstone systems.
• Set up refined farms and storage systems with ease.
