World Boats Giving Back Wrong Items

Currently the boat that takes you all over the ocean eats whatever you throw into the hopper, even the wrong items! When somebody accidentally threw his weapon or any other important items into the hopper instead of the pass, he must be really annoyed. look here

So... I suggest that the boat can sort out the wrong items and pop them out to another place. What do you think?

P.S also, fix my grammar if you want :D

 

This is why everyone has their drop key disabled. I don't know how hard it would be to make junk go through the hopper and pop back out, but if it could be done that would probably save a ton of mythics.

 

unlike me

Interestingly enough, I've never dropped anything valuable on accident, even with drop bound to Q, in all my 2-3 years of playing.

 

It makes untradable items tradable if they drop from a dispenser or dropper, so this won't happen.

 

Ah, instead of popping them out of dispenser of dropper, make it just teleport into your inventory, just like what happens when you throw away a quest item :D

 

But it would have to somehow know the exact stats of the item that gets tossed in, meaning it would have to have every ID combination for every item in a sorter just to give it back.
Easily over a million hoppers.
Not happening.

 

Nononono... No need a sorter to sort out the wrong items, just if the hopper knows that it isnt a pass, just give the wrong item back to the player without knowing what item is it.
Or did i misunderstood something?

EDIT: Give me more problems about this feature :D

 

It has to know somehow what item gets tossed into it in order to give it back, and in order to give it back it needs the exact IDs. I don't believe command blocks can look inside hoppers, so a sorter is the only option, which won't happen.

 

Just asking, is there any quest items that have random IDs? I need to know the exact answer, not "maybe".
If yes, then I'm sure that the item teleport into inventory thing is done by plugins, not command blocks. Therefore, it is possible!

 

It's done by plugins, but that's because it returns items with the quest item tag. If theh made it with the other items you wouldn't be able to drop anything ever.

 

But if that kind of plugin only does that, it's always possible to make another one thats for the boats right? Or is it unnecessary? If it is I have no words left :P

 

I personally don't think this would be possible with hoppers, but if a gui was made when you right clicked on the captain then this would prevent everything

 

I do drop my wand a whole bunch, but never into fire or lava or anything.

 

Can't they replace the hopper to some NPC that only takes boat passes?

 

this

 

Yes. Just yes. Please make a suggestion for this

 

Would it also at all be feasible to forbid dropping anything but a pass when close by to that hopper?

 

Problem with that is you need an npc for every boat pass. Also it wouldn't make sense lorewise for someone to stand in the middle of the battlefield waiting for 30 dungeon tokens.

 

Make a hopper section in the boat that wants the boat pass, and boom. (This might cause lag tho)

 

A filter and a eject system could easily be made, but whether or not it could be used with the mechanism that it currently is using now is not likely. And they are not really worried about these types of mistakes, so unless it works perfectly. Then they would not bother with trying to fool proof the boat hopper and they have better things to do
