I am building an entity counter. A detector rail counts minecarts (with creeper) passing by and powers a dropper which faces a hopper. The hopper is locked (to prevent it from pushing the item back to the dropper until unlocked). The dropper will forward one item (after one entity passes) but will no longer forward any item to the dropper on the second and succeeding pulses from the detector rail. Entities pass once every 10 seconds. What bothers me is that I can build the same system (second picture) and it works just fine. I am on Java 1.20.4. Mods installed are Fabric performance mods like Sodium. My game mechanics are as vanilla as possible.
