How to Build a Hopper in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to gather items in Minecraft without constantly having to pick them up? That’s where the hopper comes into play!
In Minecraft, building a hopper lets you collect items automatically. But how do you do it? Let’s dive in.
Easy Steps to Craft a Hopper
First off, you need some materials. To make a hopper in Minecraft, you need 5 iron ingots and a chest. That’s it!
Once you have your materials, open your crafting table. Place the chest in the middle slot. Then, arrange the iron ingots in a ‘V’ shape around the chest. Voila! You’ve made a hopper.
What Does a Hopper Do in Minecraft?
A hopper collects item drops and transfers them into other containers. This means you don’t have to pick up items one by one. Simply place a hopper under a block where items fall, and it’ll collect them for you.
Hoppers are super useful for automating tasks like farming or mining. They can even transfer items between containers, making your Minecraft life way easier.
