Many users in Minecraft wish to have a hopper on their account. As with many other objects in the game, we will have to proceed with its crafting, in order to have it.

- A chest.
- Five iron ingots.
These are the two objects that we will need to create said hopper in the game. In addition, the position in which we place these objects is essential to obtain the desired result.

What are Hoppers in Minecraft?
Hoppers are an extremely useful item in the game. They have the ability to collect any object that falls on top of them, any, to later store it in their own inventory or transport it to other objects such as a chest, an oven, or other hoppers, for example.
The fact that they are going to collect any object makes it a very helpful tool in Minecraft at all kinds of times.
In addition, they also have the ability to suck objects from ovens, blast furnaces, or chests, as long as they are located above-said hopper.
It is also good to know that a chest or oven can be connected to the other end of a hopper so that those objects that the hopper has collected will be transported directly to said oven or chest.
Although we have mentioned that these hoppers connect to a chest, it should be noted that they do not connect to Ender’s chest.
So if you were thinking of doing this in your Minecraft account, you should know that it will not be possible.

How Does the Hopper Work in Minecraft?
Hoppers are also known as funnels in Minecraft, so if you come across this term on occasion, you will know that it is referring to that object.
When we place said hopper, it can be connected to any block that is next to it on the sides or below it, making shift when placing it pointing to the object in question that we want to connect, such as the oven or a chest, as we have mentioned before.
When connected, the hopper will transfer objects to the block that has been connected. Although regardless of whether or not it has been connected to another block, the hopper will be transferring objects to any other hopper that is just below it with higher priority.
So the hopper can have two valid containers to which you are going to transfer objects.
Either a hopper underneath it or another to which it is connected on one of its sides, be it the oven, chest, or another hopper, for example.
When it comes to understanding the operation of a hopper in Minecraft, it is also important to know that there are input and output flows, which play a decisive role in the operation of the hopper in the game.
In this field there are three main aspects that every player should know:
- The hoppers can receive and transmit at the same time 2 objects at a maximum time.
- Hoppers receive items from other containers (oven or chest) at a rate of only one item at a time.
- If the hopper is connected on two sides (a chest on one side and another hopper below) the transmission flow is going to be divided between those two connected objects or blocks and then only one object will be sent to each of these containers.
These inflow and outflows are something that is going to have a great influence on the behavior of this hopper in the game. As well as in the input and output of the distribution of the components.
They are something that we must take into account when we are playing, to avoid making mistakes when using these hoppers on our account.
It is possible that you have a hopper connected to several blocks in Minecraft, something common for users, but it is important to know the priority in said shipment.
If you have one connected to two chests and to another hopper, the priority falls at all times on that other hopper, which will be the one that receives the said object.
It may not be what you want, but this is the way such hoppers work in-game, so you need to keep this in mind at all times.
Redstone
A question of many users in the game is if these hoppers need Redstone to work and the answer is negative, they do not.
In fact, if a hopper receives current from restone it will stop receiving and transmitting objects.
So it is important for any of the players in Minecraft that said hopper is not going to receive Redstone current.
It is also important to know that if the said hopper is connected to a block on top of a Redstone energized block, it receives current and stops working.
The hopper can be re-energized if it is connected to the Redstone comparators, thus achieving a signal that is strong enough to energize the repeater, turn off the torch and thus be able to send objects again.
Knowing that it is possible to activate it again is good, although it is important to never have it near Redstone.
