Hopper with filter

With the update 1.21 we get a real relief with the autocrafter as far as automation is concerned.
It would be for this Updqte a further simplification if there were also Hopper with filter.


In the GUI there is a separate slot in which you insert the item to be filtered (like MrCrayfish's Golden Hopper). The hopper works like a normal hopper, but picks up the item and passes it on to the connected chest or barrel.
This would not only simplify the automation of storage, but also save space because you could simplify or omit the redtone circuit for the current filtering.

    This is also similar to the copper-hopper mod, and my suggestion of adding filter-hoppers.  They should be able to handle non-stackable or items that stack less than 64.  The copper-hopper and golder-hopper mods are examples, and also indicate just how useful this feature would be.  It fit in well with the other 1.21 updates like the auto-crafter.  Current redstone solutions are large, unreliable and don't handle items that don't stack.

    The copper-hopper mod is also a perfect example of how this should work.  This would be a great addition to the autocrafter and 1.21.  I'm not affiliated with copper-hopper in any way, just a fan of the idea and the copper-hopper's implementation of it.  The ability to filter by multiple items, regardless of stackability, allows trickle-down filtering as well as multiple items sorted together in a single chest or output.  It takes more than a room full of redstone to achieve anything remotely similar, and is unreliable at best.  This would help bring better automation to the masses.

    It could even be a hopper with a UI button to lock the items so only their amounts can change, and additional empty slots are blocked.
