## ๐ง Why this fork?
The original Copper Hopper is amazing for filtering items, but it has one flaw for automation: It drains the chest above completely.
If you are using Copper Golems, Item Frames, or Visual Sorting Systems, you often need to keep at least one "bait" item in the source chest so your system remembers what belongs there.
This fork solves that problem by turning the Copper Hopper into a smart Regulator. ๐ง
