EggHopper
Tired of cleaning up loose Wild Laid eggs or lagging out your server? EggHopper is an automated, server-friendly utility that automatically gathers dropped and laid eggs within a 30-meter radius and deposits them directly into a designated storage box.
With built-in lag prevention and customizable capacity caps, it’s the perfect companion mod for custom farming servers and poultry enthusiasts!
Key Features
Smart Radius Gathering: Scans a generous 30-meter radius around your assigned hopper box to vacuum up loose eggs seamlessly.
Simple In-Game Setup: Players don't need to mess with coordinates or complex menus. Just look at any standard storage box with TC authorization and type /egghop to instantly turn it into an active hopper.
Anti-Spam Safety Buffer: Newly laid eggs must sit on the ground for at least 5 seconds before being collected. This prevents collection glitches and ensures compatibility with hatching plugins.
Server Performance Protections:
Features a Configurable Box Cap to ensure hoppers don't overflow your server's entities.
Automatically deletes world items if the box is full to prevent server-wide floor lag.
Utilizes optimized Facepunch.Pool memory allocation to guarantee zero performance drops, even on high-population servers.
How It Works (Player Guide)
Ensure you have Building Privilege in the area.
Stand close and look directly at the storage box you want to use.
Open your chat box and type:
text
/egghop
Done! The plugin will confirm the link. Any loose eggs dropped nearby will now safely route to your box after 5 seconds. To unassign a box and return it to a normal container, simply look at it and type /egghop again.
Configuration & Customization
The configuration file is incredibly lightweight and easy to manage for server owners:
json
{ "MaxEggsInBox": 120 }
Use code with caution.
MaxEggsInBox: The maximum total number of eggs allowed inside the hopper box at any given time. Once this limit is hit, the hopper will safely clean up any additional nearby ground entities to protect server frames.
Perfect Compatibility
EggHopper pairs beautifully alongside FreeRangeChickens, allowing server owners to create fully automated, high-yield chicken farms that practically run themselves without risking server performance!
