Hoppers placed by you are allowed to take items from or put items into locked chests that you own, but hoppers placed by other players will be unable to do so.

They transfer items in the direction indicated by the arrow on their narrow segment at a rate of one item per second. They have a small buffer capacity, and any items that can't be placed into the target block's inventory will remain lodged in the chute's buffer until manually removed or their destination becomes available.")

There is a set of inventory slots labeled \"Filter\" at the top of this block's inventory display, if you place an item into one of these slots the sorter will record the item's type (without actually taking it from you). Then when items come through the sorter's inventory that match one of the items in the filter list it will first attempt to send it in the direction marked with an arrow on the sorter's sides.\n\nIf the item doesn't match the filter list, or the secondary output is unable to take the item for whatever reason, the sorter will try to send the item out the other output instead.\n\nIn addition, there is a button labeled \"Filter All\" that will tell the sorter to not use the filter list and instead first attempt to shunt all items out of the filter, only sending items along the non-filter path if the target cannot accept it for whatever reason. This feature is useful for handling \"overflow\" (when the target's inventory fills up) or for dealing with targets that are selective about what they accept (for example, a furnace's fuel slot).")
